Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I feel unhappy, I feel so sad
– E pouri ana ahau, e pouri ana ahau
I’ve lost the best friend that I ever had
– Kua ngaro ahau i te hoa pai rawa atu I a au
She was my woman, I loved her so
– Ko ia taku wahine, i aroha ahau ki a ia
But it’s too late now, I’ve let her go
– Engari kua roa rawa, kua tukua ia e ahau kia haere
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
We shared the years, we shared each day
– I tiritiri mātou i ngā tau, i tiritiri mātou i ia rā
In love, together, we found the way
– I roto i te aroha, tahi, kitea e matou te ara
But soon, the world had its evil way
– Engari, i muri tata iho, ka kino te ao
My heart was blinded, love went astray
– I matapo toku ngakau, i ngaro te aroha
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
It took so long to realise
– He roa te wā i mōhio ai
And I can still hear her last goodbyes
– A ka taea tonu e au te whakarongo ki ana poroporoaki whakamutunga
Now, all my days are filled with tears
– Na, ko aku ra katoa e ki ana i nga roimata
Wish I could go back and change these years
– Hiahia taea e ahau te hoki me te huri i enei tau
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
I’m going through changes
– Kei te haere ahau i roto i nga huringa
