Kupu Tūpato
It’s been this way since seventeen
– Kua penei te ahua mai i te tekau ma whitu
The highs and lows and in-betweens, my love, mm
– Ko te runga, ko te runga, ko te roto, ko taku aroha, mm
We said forever ever since
– I mea tonu mātou mai i taua wā
We give a lot, but do we give enough?
– He maha nga mea e hoatu ana e matou, engari he nui nga mea e hoatu ana e matou?
I know we made our promises
– E mohio ana ahau i hanga e matou o matou kupu whakaari
But promises are hard to keep
– Engari he uaua ki te pupuri i nga kupu whakaari
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
– Kāore au i te mōhio mēnā he mea tika kia pēnei
But, ooh, ooh, ooh, that’s the dream
– Engari, ooh, ooh, ooh, ko te moemoea tērā
Got this wedding in a week
– I whiwhi i tēnei marena i roto i te wiki
Can’t believe you won’t be there with me, my love, mm
– E kore e taea e whakapono e kore koe e waiho i reira ki ahau, toku aroha, mm
I know that space is supposed to help
– E mōhio ana ahau me āwhina te mokowā
But I feel like a shadow of myself
– Engari he rite ahau ki te atarangi o ahau
I know we made our promises
– E mohio ana ahau i hanga e matou o matou kupu whakaari
But promises are hard to keep
– Engari he uaua ki te pupuri i nga kupu whakaari
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
– Kāore au i te mōhio mēnā he mea tika kia pēnei
But, ooh, ooh, ooh, that’s the dream
– Engari, ooh, ooh, ooh, ko te moemoea tērā
That’s the dream
– Ko te moemoea tērā
Ah
– Ah
Ooh
– Ko te Ooh
Ah
– Ah
Ooh
– Ko te Ooh
I know we made our promises
– E mohio ana ahau i hanga e matou o matou kupu whakaari
But promises are hard to keep
– Engari he uaua ki te pupuri i nga kupu whakaari
But why’d I have to go and leave
– Engari he aha ahau i haere ai, i haere ai
When I know nothing good comes easily?
– A, no te mohio ahau e haere mai tetahi mea pai ngāwari?
I don’t know if it’s meant to be
– Kāore au i te mōhio mēnā he mea tika kia pēnei
But, ooh, ooh, ooh, that’s the dream
– Engari, ooh, ooh, ooh, ko te moemoea tērā
Ooh, ooh, ooh, that’s the dream
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ko te moemoea tērā
Ooh, ooh, ooh, that’s the dream
– Ooh, ooh, ooh, ko te moemoea tērā
