Kupu Tūpato
When you hold me
– Ka mau koe ki ahau
There’s a place I go
– He wāhi e haere ana ahau
It’s a different high, oh no
– He rereke te teitei, aue kaore
When you touch me
– Ka pa ana koe ki ahau
I get vulnerable
– Ka whakaraerae ahau
In a different light, oh no
– I roto i te marama rerekē, aue kahore
Are you too cynical
– He tino kino koe
To believe in a miracle?
– Ki te whakapono ki te merekara?
That just slipped through my hands
– I taka noa iho i roto i oku ringa
But could you take a chance on me?
– Engari ka taea e koe te whai waahi ki ahau?
Can you forgive it all
– Ka taea e koe te muru i te reira katoa
To believe in a miracle?
– Ki te whakapono ki te merekara?
Yeah, I put you through hell
– Ae, ka tukuna koe e ahau ki te reinga
But I’m askin’ you to believe
– Engari e tono ana ahau kia whakapono koe
To believe in a miracle
– Ki te whakapono ki te merekara
To believe in a miracle
– Ki te whakapono ki te merekara
