Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I spent my nights
– I noho au i aku pō
On melting snow
– I runga i te hukarere rewa
Just turning my sorrows into pure gold
– Ka huri noa i aku mamae hei koura parakore
And I laugh inside
– A ka kata ahau ki roto
‘Cause you won’t know
– ‘No te mea e kore koe e mohio
I was here from the moment the lights showed
– I konei ahau mai i te wa i whakaatuhia ai nga rama
Oh, bless my heart
– Aue, manaakitia toku ngakau
When the wolves take me away
– Ka tangohia ahau e nga whaea
Don’t fall apart
– Kaua e hinga
When I come back from the grave
– Ka hoki mai ahau i te urupa
Forget my charms
– Wareware ki aku amulet
I’ll never be the same
– Kāore au e rite ki a ia
We’ve came so far
– Kua tae mai mātou ki tēnei wā
Only to drift away
– Anake ki te rere atu
Oh, bless my heart
– Aue, manaakitia toku ngakau
When the wolves take me away
– Ka tangohia ahau e nga whaea
Don’t fall apart
– Kaua e hinga
When I come back from the grave
– Ka hoki mai ahau i te urupa
Forget my charms
– Wareware ki aku amulet
I’ll never be the same
– Kāore au e rite ki a ia
We’ve came so far
– Kua tae mai mātou ki tēnei wā
Only to go insane
– Anake ki te haere haurangi
Insane
– He haurangi
No one will notice
– Kaore tetahi e kite
Ooh, ooh
– E te atua, e te atua
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
Insane
– He haurangi
Stay by my side
– Kia noho ki toku taha
When the nightmare goes
– Ka haere te moemoea
I’ve been feeling distant, just way out of control
– Kuaeling ahau tawhiti, tika ara i roto i te mana
But I laugh inside
– Engari ka kata ahau ki roto
Just so you can glow in the dark
– Just kia taea e koe te mura i roto i te pouri
When it’s time for me
– A, no te te reira te wa mo ahau
So just stay
– Na noho noa
Why don’t you wanna stay?
– He aha e kore e hiahia ana koe ki te noho?
You just wanna trip me out
– E hiahia ana koe ki te haere ki waho
Why don’t you wanna stay?
– He aha e kore e hiahia ana koe ki te noho?
Oh, bless my heart
– Aue, manaakitia toku ngakau
When the wolves take me away
– Ka tangohia ahau e nga whaea
Don’t fall apart
– Kaua e hinga
When I come back from the grave
– Ka hoki mai ahau i te urupa
Forget my charms
– Wareware ki aku amulet
I’ll never be the same
– Kāore au e rite ki a ia
We’ve came so far
– Kua tae mai mātou ki tēnei wā
Only to go insane
– Anake ki te haere haurangi
Insane
– He haurangi
No one will notice
– Kaore tetahi e kite
Ooh, ooh
– E te atua, e te atua
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
Insane
– He haurangi
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
Can’t see
– Kāore e taea te kite
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
I waited endlessly all night
– I tatari tonu ahau i te pō katoa
Looking up at all the fireflies in the skies
– Titiro ki runga ki nga fireflies katoa i roto i te rangi
I made it carefully to your side
– I āta hanga e ahau ki tou taha
That’s when the lights turned on, and you were just a lie
– Ko te wā i whakaoho ai ngā rama, ā, he teka noa iho koe
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
I’m sane
– He maamaa ahau
