Kupu Tūpato
I’ll tell everyone you’re the only one I want
– Ka korerotia e ahau ki te katoa ko koe anake te mea e hiahia ana ahau
Can I have you if I never let you down?
– Ka taea e au te tuku i a koe ki te kore au e tuku i a koe?
You’re the only one under the golden burning sun
– Ko koe anake i raro i te ra wera koura
Can I have you if I never let you down?
– Ka taea e au te tuku i a koe ki te kore au e tuku i a koe?
I had a dream and saw a vision
– He moemoea taku, a, ka kite ahau i tētahi whakakitenga
We built a house that we could live in
– I hanga e mātou he whare e taea ana e mātou te noho
I know we’re young but we’re growin’ up
– E mōhio ana ahau he taitamariki mātou engari kei te tipu haere mātou
We’d go swimming in the water
– Ka haere mātou ki te kaukau i roto i te wai
Then have dinner with your father
– Kātahi ka kai tahi me tō pāpā
I close my eyes and I see it now
– Ka kati aku kanohi ka kite ahau i tēnei wā
You’re the only one under the golden burning sun
– Ko koe anake i raro i te ra wera koura
Can I have you if I never let you down?
– Ka taea e au te tuku i a koe ki te kore au e tuku i a koe?
Surrender, surrender, surrender
– Te tuku, te tuku, te tuku
And I’ll never let you down
– A e kore ahau e tuku i a koe ki raro
Surrender
– Te tuku
Angels are real, I see them coming
– He pono nga anahera, ka kite ahau i a ratou e haere mai ana
But they won’t ever catch up if we’re running
– Engari e kore e taea e ratou te hopu i te mea e rere ana tatou
I know we’re young but it doesn’t last
– E mōhio ana ahau he taitamariki mātou engari kāore e roa
So let’s lay under the fountain
– Na kia takoto tatou i raro i te puna
And get higher than these mountains
– Ka piki ake i ēnei maunga
Close your eyes, can’t you see it now?
– Kati o koutou kanohi, e kore e taea e kite koe i te reira i teie nei?
You’re the only one under the golden burning sun
– Ko koe anake i raro i te ra wera koura
Can I have you if I never let you down?
– Ka taea e au te tuku i a koe ki te kore au e tuku i a koe?
Surrender, surrender, surrender
– Te tuku, te tuku, te tuku
And I’ll never let you down
– A e kore ahau e tuku i a koe ki raro
Surrender
– Te tuku
There were fireflies and summer air
– I reira he fireflies me te rangi raumati
Bare skin and knotted hair
– He kiri tahanga he makawe i honoa
Burning sun up in the sky
– Te rā e tahu ana i te rangi
I didn’t notice (So lost when I’m in this moment)
– Kaore au i kite (Ka ngaro ahau i tenei wa)
I’m just so lost in this moment
– He tino ngaro ahau i tēnei wā
You’re the only one under the golden burning sun
– Ko koe anake i raro i te ra wera koura
Can I have you if I never let you down?
– Ka taea e au te tuku i a koe ki te kore au e tuku i a koe?
Surrender (I know you want to), surrender, surrender (I know you want to)
– Tuku (e mohio ana ahau e hiahia ana koe ki te), tuku, tuku (e mohio ana ahau e hiahia ana koe ki te)
And I’ll never let you down
– A e kore ahau e tuku i a koe ki raro
Surrender
– Te tuku
Surrender, surrender, surrender
– Te tuku, te tuku, te tuku
Surrender, surrender
– Te tuku, te tuku
