– Ka rongo au i a koe i te reo nui, i te mārama
I know that we just met
– E mohio ana ahau kua tutaki noa matou
But you know me
– Engari e mohio ana koe ki ahau
Don’t know it all just yet
– Kaua e mohio ki nga mea katoa
But you’ve shown me exactly where I’ve been runnin’

Yeah, but finally I see the light
