Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
When the night has come
– Ka tae mai te po
And the land is dark
– A he pouri te whenua
And the moon is the only light we’ll see
– A ko te marama anake te marama ka kite tatou
No, I won’t be afraid
– Kahore, e kore ahau e wehi
Oh, I won’t be afraid
– Aue, e kore ahau e wehi
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
– I a koe e tu ana, e tu ana i toku taha
So darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
– Na, e te aroha, e te aroha, e tu ki toku taha
Oh, stand by me
– E tu ki ahau
Oh, stand
– E tu
Stand by me, stand by me
– Tū mai ki ahau, tū mai ki ahau
If the sky that we look upon
– Ki te rangi e titiro ana tatou
Should tumble and fall
– Me hinga, me hinga
Or the mountains should crumble to the sea
– Ranei me pakaru nga maunga ki te moana
I won’t cry, I won’t cry
– E kore ahau e tangi, e kore ahau e tangi
No, I won’t shed a tear
– No, e kore ahau e whakaheke i te roimata
Just as long as you stand, stand by me
– I a koe e tu ana, e tu ana i toku taha
And darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
– A, e te aroha, e te aroha, e tu ki toku taha
Oh, stand by me
– E tu ki ahau
Woah, stand now
– Woah, tu inaianei
Stand by me, stand by me
– Tū mai ki ahau, tū mai ki ahau
Darlin’, darlin’, stand by me
– E te aroha, e te aroha, e tu ki toku taha
Oh, stand by me
– E tu ki ahau
Oh, stand now
– Aue, tu inaianei
Stand by me, stand by me
– Tū mai ki ahau, tū mai ki ahau
Whenever you’re in trouble, won’t you stand by me?
– I nga wa katoa e raru ana koe, kaore koe e tu ki ahau?
Oh, stand by me
– E tu ki ahau
Woah, just stand now
– Woah, tu noa inaianei
Oh, stand, stand by me
– E tu, e tu ki ahau
