Said, “When you know, you know”

We give it all we got (Give it all we got)
– Ka hoatu e matou nga mea katoa e whiwhi ana matou (Homai nga mea katoa e whiwhi ana matou)

You move on

But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
– Ko tenei, ko te rangi opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my Lord
– E Te Ariki
Never met no one like you before
– Kāore i tūtaki ki tētahi pērā i a koe i mua

This is just
– He tika tenei
A storm inside a teacup
– He ngaru i roto i te kapu ti
But shelter here with me, my love
– Engari kia noho ki konei ki ahau, e taku aroha
Thunder like a drum
– He pūoro rite ki te pūoro
This life will beat you up, up, up, up
– Ka whiua koe e tēnei oranga, ki runga, ki runga, ki runga
This is just
– He tika tenei
A temporary speed bump
– He peke tere mo te wa poto
But failure brings you freedom
– Engari ko te kore e kawe mai i a koe te herekore
And I can bring you love, love, love, love (Love)
– A ka taea e ahau te kawe mai ki a koe te aroha, te aroha, te aroha, te aroha (Aroha)
Don’t you sweat it, baby, it’s alright
– Kaua e werawera, e te tamaiti, he pai
You were dancing through the lightning strikes
– I kanikani koe i roto i ngā whiu uira
Oh, so sleepless in the onyx night
– Aue, na moe i roto i te po onyx
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
– Ko tenei, ko te rangi opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh
Oh, my Lord
– E Te Ariki
Never met no one like you before (No)
– Kaua rawa e tutaki ki tetahi e rite ana ki a koe i mua (No)
You had to make your own sunshine
– Me hanga e koe tō ake rā
But now, the sky is opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
– Ko tenei, ko te rangi opalite, oh-oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
