Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I had a dream that I’d always been yours (Mm-mm)
– I moemoea ahau ko au tonu tou (Mm-mm)
My metallic stallion races off
– Ka rere atu taku hīkoi metallic
But I’m chasing fast till I get on top
– Engari kei te whai tere ahau kia eke ra ano ahau ki runga
I’m the one he can’t break off
– Ko ahau te tangata e kore e taea e ia te wehe
I been dreaming of you
– I moemoea ahau ki a koe
I been wishing that it’s true
– I hiahia ahau kia pono
That you were made for me
– I hanga koe mo ahau
I been wishing on a star
– I hiahia ahau ki te whetu
I been wondering where you are
– I whakaaro ahau kei hea koe
To keep you close to me
– Kia tata mai koe ki ahau
I’ve been waiting for love, for your love so long
– Kua tatari ahau mo te aroha, mo to aroha kia roa
But I’m gonna be ready, gonna sing my song (Mm-mm)
– Engari ka rite ahau, ka waiata i taku waiata (Mm-mm)
My metallic stallion races off
– Ka rere atu taku hīkoi metallic
But I chase him fast till I get on top (Mm)
– Engari ka whai wawe ahau i a ia kia eke ra ano ahau ki runga (Mm)
Till his reins come off (Mm-mm-mm)
– Kia puta ra ano ona herenga (Mm-mm-mm)
‘Cause he acts so tough, but he likes it soft
– ‘No te mea he tino pakeke tana mahi, engari he pai ki a ia te mea ngawari
Know he’s scared of love, but all bets are off (Mm)
– E mohio ana kei te wehi ia i te aroha, engari ko nga peti katoa kei waho (Mm)
I’m the one he can’t break off
– Ko ahau te tangata e kore e taea e ia te wehe
I feel like I been the fool
– Ki taku whakaaro he kuware ahau
I been thinking, “What’s the use?”
– I whakaaro ahau, ” He aha te whakamahi?”
‘Cause you don’t feel a thing
– ‘No te mea e kore koe e fe i te mea
No, my baby don’t want, no, he don’t want love
– Kāore, kāore taku pēpi e hiahia ana, kāore, kāore ia e hiahia ana ki te aroha
‘Cause he’d rather be alone than have to open up (Mm-mm)
– ‘No te mea e hiahia ana ia kia noho mokemoke atu i te whai ki te whakatuwhera ake (Mm-mm)

Know he’s scared of love, but all bets are off
– E mohio ana kei te wehi ia i te aroha, engari kua kore nga petipeti katoa
I’m the one he can’t break off
– Ko ahau te tangata e kore e taea e ia te wehe
Ever since I was young, love had me confused
– Mai i taku tamarikitanga, i raruraru ahau i te aroha
And now I realise that I’ve been a fool
– Na inaianei ka mohio ahau he kuware ahau
You know that I’d always stay, but you just keep running away
– E mōhio ana koe ka noho tonu ahau, engari ka rere tonu koe
Now I see that you don’t, don’t wanna be saved
– Na ka kite ahau e kore koe e, e kore e hiahia ana ki te kia ora

– E mohio ana kei te wehi ia i te aroha, engari kua kore nga petipeti katoa
I’m the one he can’t break off
– Ko ahau te tangata e kore e taea e ia te wehe
