Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Before you slip into unconsciousness
– I mua i tō rerenga ki te kore māramatanga
I’d like to have another kiss
– Kei te hiahia ahau ki te kihi ano
Another flashing chance at bliss
– Ko tētahi atu tūponotanga nui ki a bliss
Another kiss, another kiss
– Ko tētahi atu kihi, ko tētahi atu kihi
The days are bright and filled with pain
– He kanapa nga ra ka ki tonu i te mamae
Enclose me in your gentle rain
– Whakauruhia ahau ki roto i to ua ngawari
The time you ran was too insane
– Ko te wā i rere koe he tino haurangi
We’ll meet again, we’ll meet again
– Ka tutaki ano tatou, ka tutaki ano tatou
Tell me where your freedom lies
– Korero mai ki ahau kei hea to herekore
The streets are fields that never die
– Ko ngā huarahi he mara e kore e mate
Deliver me from reasons why
– Whakaorangia ahau i nga take he aha
You’d rather cry, I’d rather fly
– E hiahia ana koe ki te tangi, e hiahia ana ahau ki te rere
The crystal ship is being filled
– Kei te whakakiia te kaipuke tioata
A thousand thrills, a thousand girls
– He mano nga mea whakamiharo, he mano nga kotiro
A million ways to spend your time
– He miriona nga huarahi hei whakapau i to wa
When we get back, I’ll drop a line
– Ka hoki mai mātou, ka whakarerea e au tētahi rārangi
