Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
And for whatever It’s worth, I’m the last man on Earth
– Ahakoa he aha te utu, ko au te tangata whakamutunga i Te Ao
Who’ll ever love you the way I love you?
– Ko wai ka aroha ki a koe i te ara e aroha ana ahau ki a koe?
And we both done our dirt, I don’t want you to hurt
– A kua oti i a mātau te paru, kāore au e hiahia kia whara koe
Don’t think I don’t love you, I still do-ooh
– Kaua e whakaaro kaore au e aroha ki a koe, kei te mahi tonu ahau-ooh
But, you say you love me and then the wind blows and now you don’t know
– Engari, e mea ana koe e aroha ana koe ki ahau, kātahi ka pupuhi te hau, ā, ināianei kāore koe i te mōhio
You changed your mind for no reason
– I hurihia e koe to whakaaro mo te kore take
One day you’ll want me, but It’ll be too late ’cause I’ll be long gone
– I tētahi rā ka hiahia koe ki ahau, engari ka roa rawa, nā te mea kua roa au e haere ana
And I won’t be here when that breeze comes
– A e kore ahau e noho ki konei ina tae mai taua hau
I don’t really want to end this way, but
– Kaore au e hiahia ki te whakamutu i tenei ara, engari
Isn’t really much else to say, but I’m sorry
– Ehara I te mea nui atu ki te korero, engari kei te pouri ahau
Never once did you say how lucky you were to have me
– Kāore anō koe kia kī he waimarie koe ki te whai i ahau
Never once did you say that I ever made you happy
– Kāore anō koe kia kī mai kua hari koe I ahau
Only how miserable you were
– Ko te pouri anake i a koe
God, why do I feel so invisible to her?
– E te atua, he aha ahau i tino kore ai e kitea e ia?
She don’t even see me, I feel inferior
– Kāore ia e kite i ahau, e whakaaro ana ahau he iti iho ahau
Her beauty is exterior, mine’s interior, yet here we are
– Ko tōna ataahua kei waho, kei roto i taku, engari kei konei tonu mātou
Toxic for each other and still, we stay together
– He paitini ki a tātou anō, ā, ka noho tahi tātou
Boxin’ one another until
– Boxin ‘ tetahi ki tetahi tae noa ki
One of us gives, It’s no way to live
– Ka hoatu e tētahi o mātou, ehara i te huarahi ki te ora
One day I’ma blow away like the wind
– I tētahi rā ka pupuhi atu au me te hau
Why do I stay in the state that I’m in? I’m a nervous wreck, I don’t deserve this
– He aha ahau i noho ai ki te whenua kei reira ahau? He raru ahau, kaore au e tika ana
No respect, I get these urges to hurt myself on purpose
– Kaore he whakaute, ka whiwhi ahau i enei hiahia ki te whara i ahau i runga i te kaupapa
I can’t take it, I lay awake at night, shakin’
– E kore e taea e ahau te tango i te reira, takoto ahau mataara i te po, wiri’
I can’t fake it, It’s pure hatred I feel
– Kāore e taea e au te tinihanga, he mauahara noa iho ki taku whakaaro
I wanna break shit, my self esteem’s so low, I ain’t shit
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te whati i te paru, he iti rawa taku whakaaro ki a au anō, ehara au i te paru
I’ve ate shit for so long, I can’t even taste it
– Kua roa au e kai ana i te paru, kāore e taea e au te whakamātau
And face it, ain’t shit changin’, so, so-long
– A, ka anga atu ki a ia, e kore e huri, na, na-roa
I’m standin’ at the door with my coat on
– Kei te tu ahau i te tatau me taku koti i runga
You scream, “No, wait, hold on
– Ka karanga koe, ” Kāore, tatari, kia mau
Don’t leave, I don’t wanna be lonely, no, oh, God”
– Kaua e waiho, e kore ahau e hiahia ana kia noho mokemoke, kahore, aue, Te Atua”
Nah, baby, I’m gone, find another sucker to dote on
– Nah, baby, kua haere ahau, kitea tetahi atu sucker ki te aroha i runga i
You, hand and foot, I’m ’bout to float on
– Ko koe, ko te ringa me te waewae, kei te rere ahau
One minute you want me and the next minute you don’t, I’m
– Kotahi meneti e hiahia ana koe ki ahau, me te meneti i muri mai e kore koe e, ahau
Breakin’ up for the last time, I’m out the door (I’m, I’m)
– I te wa whakamutunga, kei waho ahau i te tatau (i’m, i’m)
You say you love me and then the wind blows and now you don’t know
– Ka mea koe e aroha ana koe ki ahau kātahi ka pupuhi te hau ā ināianei kāore koe i te mōhio
You changed your mind for no reason
– I hurihia e koe to whakaaro mo te kore take
One day you’ll want me, but It’ll be too late ’cause I’ll be long gone
– I tētahi rā ka hiahia koe ki ahau, engari ka roa rawa, nā te mea kua roa au e haere ana
And I won’t be here when that breeze comes
– A e kore ahau e noho ki konei ina tae mai taua hau
I don’t really want to end this way, but
– Kaore au e hiahia ki te whakamutu i tenei ara, engari
Isn’t really much else to say, but I’m sorry
– Ehara I te mea nui atu ki te korero, engari kei te pouri ahau
I feel cold enough to cry, icicles, I guess this is goodbye
– He tino makariri ahau ki te tangi, he hukapapa, ki taku whakaaro he poroporoaki tenei
Dry your sniffles, yeah, a tear trickles down your face
– Whakamaroke koutou sniffles, ae, he roimata trickles iho tou mata
Well, here’s tissues, I’m not tryna be vicious
– Well, tenei te kopa, e kore ahau e tryna kia kino
Or vindictive, I ain’t tryna inflict any more pain
– Ranei te rapu utu, e kore ahau e tryna tukino i tetahi atu mamae
I’ve been sick to my stomach with this
– Kua mate ahau ki toku kopu ki tenei
I didn’t want it to, but I knew it was comin’ to this
– Kāore au i hiahia kia pēnei, engari i mōhio au kei te haere mai ki tēnei
Sooner or later, better sooner than later, better late than never
– I mua ake, i muri ake rānei, i mua ake i te mutunga, i muri ake i te mutunga
I know you think it’s gonna rain forever
– E mohio ana ahau ki to whakaaro ka ua tonu
But it will get better, it does, eventually, It’s just
– Engari ka pai ake, ka pai, i te mutunga, he tika
It can’t go back to the way it was, ’cause the way it was
– Kāore e taea te hoki ki te āhua o te mea, nā te āhua o te mea
It just wasn’t cuttin’ it, maybe ’cause
– Kāore i te tapahi i te reira, pea take
You ever to stop to think, dead in the middle of all this craziness
– Ka mutu koe ki te whakaaro, ka mate i waenganui i tēnei haurangi katoa
It was two good people who just turned evil
– E rua ngā tāngata pai i huri noa i te kino
Together, the combination’s just lethal, It’s us
– I te taha, he whakamate noa iho te huinga, ko tātou
Nah, maybe not, ’cause I wouldn’t treat an enemy like you treat me
– Nah, pea e kore, ‘no te mea e kore e ahau te hamani i te hoariri rite te hamani koe i ahau
Maybe that’s why this is so easy?
– Mahalo ko te aha tenei he pera ngāwari?
Almost too easy, I say the truth ’cause it frees me, squeeze me, baby
– Tata rawa ngāwari, ka mea ahau i te pono ‘ no te mea ka whakaorangia ahau, ka kōpeke i ahau, e te pēpi
One last time before I leave because I know
– Kotahi te wā whakamutunga i mua i taku wehenga atu nā te mea e mōhio ana ahau
I’m never gonna hold you again
– Kāore au e mau anō i a koe
Who would’ve knew we’d come to such a tumultuous end?
– Ko wai i mohio kua tae mai tatou ki te mutunga o te ngangau?
And something like this, I hope we never go through again
– A, ko tētahi mea pēnei, ko te tūmanako kia kaua e haere anō tātou
But there will be no hatred to blow through my pen
– Engari kaore he mauahara ki te pupuhi i roto i taku pene
‘Cause one thing I won’t do is insult you again
– ‘No te mea kotahi te mea e kore ahau e mahi i te mea whakahawea koe ano
This is only a note, it’s like an ode to an old friend, I’m blowin’ in the wind
– He tuhipoka noa iho tēnei, he rite ki te waiata ki tētahi hoa tawhito, kei te pupuhi au i te hau
And for whatever It’s worth, I’m the last man on Earth
– Ahakoa he aha te utu, ko au te tangata whakamutunga i Te Ao
Who’ll ever love you the way I love you?
– Ko wai ka aroha ki a koe i te ara e aroha ana ahau ki a koe?
And we both done our dirt, I don’t want you to hurt
– A kua oti i a mātau te paru, kāore au e hiahia kia whara koe
Don’t think I don’t love you, I still do-ooh
– Kaua e whakaaro kaore au e aroha ki a koe, kei te mahi tonu ahau-ooh
But, you say you love me and then the wind blows and now you don’t know
– Engari, e mea ana koe e aroha ana koe ki ahau, kātahi ka pupuhi te hau, ā, ināianei kāore koe i te mōhio
You changed your mind for no reason

I don’t really want to end this way, but
– Kaore au e hiahia ki te whakamutu i tenei ara, engari
Isn’t really much else to say, but I’m sorry
– Ehara I te mea nui atu ki te korero, engari kei te pouri ahau
I’m sorry, I don’t really wanna hurt you
– E pouri ana ahau, e kore ahau e tino hiahia ki te whara ia koe
All I can say is I’m sorry, you know that I’m sorry
– Ko te mea anake ka taea e au te mea e pouri ana ahau, e mohio ana koe e pouri ana ahau
I’m sorry, I don’t really wanna hurt you
– E pouri ana ahau, e kore ahau e tino hiahia ki te whara ia koe
All I can say is I’m sorry
– Ko te mea anake ka taea e au te mea he pouri ahau
