Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Hear the clock ticking on the wall
– Whakarongo ki te karaka e tohu ana i te pakitara
Losing sleep, losing track of the tears I cry
– Te ngaro i te moe, te ngaro i te ara o nga roimata e tangi ana ahau
Every drop is a waterfall
– He waiariki ia maturuturunga iho
Every breath is a break in the riptide
– Ko nga manawa katoa he pakaru i roto i te riptide
Oh, how long has it been? I don’t know
– Aue, kia pehea te roa kua reira? Kāore au i te mōhio
But it feels like an eternity
– Engari he rite tonu ki te mutungakore
Since I had you here with me
– Mai i ahau i a koe i konei ki ahau
Since I had to learn to be
– Mai i te mea i ako ahau ki te kia
Someone you don’t know
– Ko tētahi kāore koe i te mōhio
To be with you in paradise
– Kia noho ki a koe i pararaiha
What I wouldn’t sacrifice
– He aha taku e kore e tuku
Why’d you have to chase the light
– He aha koe i whai ai i te marama
Somewhere I can’t go?
– Kāore e taea e au te haere ki hea?
As I walk this world alone
– I a au e haere ana i tēnei ao anake
As I walk this world alone
– I a au e haere ana i tēnei ao anake
Another glimpse of what could’ve been (Ooh)
– Ko tētahi atu tirohanga o te mea i taea te (Ooh)
Another dream, another way that it never was
– Tetahi atu moemoea, tetahi atu ara e kore i reira i
Falling back in the wilderness (Ooh)
– Te hoki ki te koraha (Ooh)
Waking up, rubbing salt in the cut
– Kaaking ake, ka horoi i te tote ki te tapahi
Oh, how long has it been? I don’t know
– Aue, kia pehea te roa kua reira? Kāore au i te mōhio
But it feels like an eternity
– Engari he rite tonu ki te mutungakore
Since I had you here with me
– Mai i ahau i a koe i konei ki ahau
Since I had to learn to be
– Mai i te mea i ako ahau ki te kia
Someone you don’t know
– Ko tētahi kāore koe i te mōhio
To be with you in paradise
– Kia noho ki a koe i pararaiha
What I wouldn’t sacrifice
– He aha taku e kore e tuku
Why’d you have to chase the light
– He aha koe i whai ai i te marama
Somewhere I can’t go?
– Kāore e taea e au te haere ki hea?
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
– I ahau e haere ana i tenei ao anake (Anake, anake)
As I walk this world alone (Alone, alone)
– I ahau e haere ana i tenei ao anake (Anake, anake)
It’s an endless night, it’s a starless sky
– He pō mutunga kore, he rangi kore whetū
It’s a hell that I call home (Hell that I call home)
– He reinga taku e karanga nei ki te kāinga(Hell that i call home)
It’s a long goodbye on the other side
– He poroporoaki roa i te taha o muri
Of the only life I know
– O te ora anake e mohio ana ahau
And it feels like an eternity (Mm)
– A ka rite ki te mutungakore (Mm)
Since I had you here with me
– Mai i ahau i a koe i konei ki ahau
Since I had to learn to be (Mm)
– Mai i te mea i ako ahau ki te (Mm)
Someone you don’t know (Woah)
– Ko te tangata kaore koe e mohio (Woah)
To be with you in paradise
– Kia noho ki a koe i pararaiha
What I wouldn’t sacrifice
– He aha taku e kore e tuku
Why’d you have to chase the light
– He aha koe i whai ai i te marama
Somewhere I can’t go?
– Kāore e taea e au te haere ki hea?
As I walk this world alone
– I a au e haere ana i tēnei ao anake
As I walk this world alone
– I a au e haere ana i tēnei ao anake
