Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Build the fire and gather ’round the trees
– Hanga te ahi, me te kohikohi ‘a tawhio noa te rakau
Fill the glass and maybe come and sing with me
– Haere mai ki ahau ki te waiata me te waiata
So kiss me under the mistletoe
– Kihia ahau i raro i te mistletoe
Pour out the wine, let’s toast and pray for December snow
– Ringihia i roto i te waina, kia inu a ka inoi mo hakihea hukarere
I know there’s been pain this year, but it’s time to let it go
– E mohio ana ahau he mamae tenei tau, engari he wa ki te tuku
Next year, you never know
– Next tau, e kore koe e mohio
But for now, Merry Christmas, we’ll
– Meri Kirihimete me ngā Mihi O Te Kirihimete ki a Tātou
Dance in the kitchen while embers glow
– Kanikani i roto i te kīhini i embers glow
We’ve both known love, but this love we got is the best of all
– Kua mohio tatou e rua te aroha, engari tenei aroha ka tatou ko te pai o te katoa
I wish you could see it through my eyes, then you would know
– Hiahia ahau i taea e kite koe i te reira i roto i oku kanohi, ka e mohio koe
My God, you look beautiful
– E toku Atua, titiro ataahua koe
Right now, Merry Christmas
– Meri Kirihimete me Ngā Mihi O Te Kirihimete
The fire is raging on
– Ka pupuhi te hau
And we’ll all sing along to this song
– Ka waiatatia e tātou katoa tēnei waiata
Just having so much fun
– Just he kia nui fun
While we’re here, can we all spare a thought
– Ahakoa kei konei tatou, ka taea e tatou katoa te tohungia he whakaaro
For the ones who have gone?
– Mo te hunga kua haere?
Merry Christmas, everyone
– Merry Christmas, katoa
Ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah
Ah-ah, ah-ah
– Ah-ah, ah-ah
So just keep kissing me under the mistletoe
– Just kihi reira ahau i roto i te kihi i ahau
Pour out the wine, let’s toast and pray for December snow
– Ringihia i roto i te waina, kia inu a ka inoi mo hakihea hukarere
I know there’s been pain this year, but it’s time to let it go
– E mohio ana ahau he mamae tenei tau, engari he wa ki te tuku
