Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I want you to hold me
– E hiahia ana ahau kia mau koe ki ahau
Don’t let me go
– Kaua e tukua ahau kia haere
Be the one and only
– Kia kotahi anake
Take all control
– Tangohia te mana katoa
Stay with me forever
– Noho ki ahau ake ake
At least for the night
– I te iti rawa mo te po
Even when you leave me
– Ahakoa ka whakarere koe i ahau
Lead me to the light
– Arahina ahau ki te marama
You are my desire, oh
– Ko koe taku hiahia, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin’ me awake
– A ko te whakaaro anake o koe ko te pupuri i ahau i te mataara
You take me higher, oh
– Ka mau koe ki ahau i runga ake, oh
Take me away
– Tangohia ahau
You are my desire, oh
– Ko koe taku hiahia, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin’ me awake
– A ko te whakaaro anake o koe ko te pupuri i ahau i te mataara
You take me higher, oh
– Ka mau koe ki ahau i runga ake, oh
Take me away
– Tangohia ahau
Take me away
– Tangohia ahau
Promise you won’t wake me
– Ko te kupu whakaari e kore koe e whakaara i ahau
Before you leave
– I mua i to wehenga atu
Leave me in a daydream
– Waiho ahau i roto i te moemoea
Just you and me
– Ko koe anake me au
Stay with me forever
– Noho ki ahau ake ake
At least for the night (the night)
– I te iti rawa mo te po (te po)
Even when you leave me
– Ahakoa ka whakarere koe i ahau
Lead me to the light

You are my desire, oh
– Ko koe taku hiahia, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin’ me awake
– A ko te whakaaro anake o koe ko te pupuri i ahau i te mataara
You take me higher, oh
– Ka mau koe ki ahau i runga ake, oh
Take me away
– Tangohia ahau
You are my desire, oh
– Ko koe taku hiahia, oh
And just the thought of you is keepin’ me awake
– A ko te whakaaro anake o koe ko te pupuri i ahau i te mataara
You take me higher, oh

Take me away

Take me away
