Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I threw a wish in the well
– I tukuna e au he hiahia ki roto i te puna
Don’t ask me, I’ll never tell
– Kaua e ui mai ki ahau, e kore ahau e korero
I looked to you as it fell
– I titiro ahau ki a koe i te wa i hinga ai
And now you’re in my way
– Na inaianei kei roto koe i taku ara
I trade my soul for a wish
– Ka hokona e ahau toku wairua mo te hiahia
Pennies and dimes for a kiss
– He pene me ngā pene mō te kihi
I wasn’t looking for this
– Kāore au I te rapu i tēnei
But now you’re in my way
– Engari inaianei kei te ara koe
Your stare was holdin’
– I mau tonu tō titiro
Ripped jeans, skin was showin’
– He tīni pakaru, he kiri e whakaatu ana
Hot night, wind was blowin’
– I te pō wera, ka pupuhi te hau
Where you think you’re going, baby?
– E whakaaro ana koe kei te haere koe, e te tamaiti?
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
– Hey, i tutaki noa ahau ki a koe, a he haurangi tenei
But here’s my number, so call me, maybe
– Ko tenei toku tau, na karanga ahau, pea
It’s hard to look right at you, baby
– He uaua ki te titiro tika ki a koe, baby
But here’s my number, so call me, maybe
– Ko tenei toku tau, na karanga ahau, pea
Hey, I just met you, and this is crazy
– Hey, i tutaki noa ahau ki a koe, a he haurangi tenei
But here’s my number, so call me, maybe
– Ko tenei toku tau, na karanga ahau, pea
And all the other boys try to chase me
– Na ka ngana nga tama katoa ki te whai i ahau
But here’s my number, so call me, maybe
– Ko tenei toku tau, na karanga ahau, pea
You took your time with the call
– Tangohia e koe tou wa ki te karanga
I took no time with the fall
– Kāore au i whai wā ki te hinga
You gave me nothing at all
– Kaore he mea i homai e koe ki ahau
But still, you’re in my way
– Engari, kei te haere tonu koe i taku ara
I beg and borrow and steal
– Ka tono ahau, ka tono, ka tahae
At first sight, and it’s real
– I te kitenga tuatahi, ā, he tūturu
I didn’t know I would feel it
– Kāore au i te mōhio ka mōhio au
But it’s in my way
– Engari kei roto i taku ara
Your stare was holdin’
– I mau tonu tō titiro
Ripped jeans, skin was showin’
– He tīni pakaru, he kiri e whakaatu ana
Hot night, wind was blowin’
– I te pō wera, ka pupuhi te hau
Where you think you’re going, baby?
– E whakaaro ana koe kei te haere koe, e te tamaiti?

Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
– I mua i to haerenga mai ki toku ora, i tino mihi ahau ki a koe
I missed you so bad, I missed you so, so bad
– He kino rawa taku mihi ki a koe, he kino rawa taku mihi ki a koe
Before you came into my life, I missed you so bad
– I mua i to haerenga mai ki toku ora, i tino mihi ahau ki a koe
And you should know that
– A kia mohio koe e
I missed you so, so bad
– I mihi ahau ki a koe, so bad
(Bad, bad, bad, bad, bad, bad)
– (Kino, kino, kino, kino, kino, kino)
It’s hard to look right at you, baby
– He uaua ki te titiro tika ki a koe, baby
But here’s my number, so call me, maybe
– Ko tenei toku tau, na karanga ahau, pea

So call me maybe
– Na karangatia ahau pea
