Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
We were speeding together
– I tere tahi mātou
Down the dark avenues
– I raro i ngā ara pouri
But besides all the stardom
– Engari i tua atu i te whetu katoa
All we got was blues
– Ko te mea anake i whiwhi ai mātou ko te blues
But through all the sorrow
– Engari i roto i te pouri katoa
We were riding high
– I eke mātou ki runga
And the truth of the matter is
– A ko te pono o te take ko
I never let you go, let you go
– E kore ahau e tuku i a koe kia haere, kia haere koe
We were scanning the cities
– I tirotirohia e mātou ngā taone
Walking to greater dues
– Te haere ki ngā utu nui ake
But besides all the glamour
– Engari i tua atu i teamahua katoa
All we got was bruised
– I whara katoa mātou
But through all the sorrow
– Engari i roto i te pouri katoa
We were riding high
– I eke mātou ki runga
And the truth of the matter is
– A ko te pono o te take ko
I had to let you go, let you go
– I tukua koe e ahau kia haere, kia haere koe
You go down just like Holy Mary
– Ka heke koe pērā ki A Meri Tapu
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
Not just another Bloody Mary
– Ehara i te Mea ko Tētahi Atu Meri Toto Anake
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
If you choose to run away with me
– Ki te whiriwhiri koe ki te rere atu ki ahau
I will tickle you internally
– Ka tīkina koe e ahau i roto
And I see nothing wrong with that
– A kaore au e kite i tetahi mea kino ki tera
We were searching for reasons
– I rapu mātou i ngā take
To play by the rules
– Ki te tākaro i te ture
But we quickly found
– Engari i kitea wawe e mātou
It was just for fools
– He mea maamaa noa iho
And after all the sorrow
– A i muri i te pouri katoa
We’ll be riding high
– Ka eke tatou ki runga
And the truth of the matter is
– A ko te pono o te take ko
I’ll never let you go, let you go
– Kāore au e tuku i a koe kia haere, kia haere koe
You go down just like Holy Mary
– Ka heke koe pērā ki A Meri Tapu
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
Not just another Bloody Mary
– Ehara i te Mea ko Tētahi Atu Meri Toto Anake
Mary on a, Mary on a
– Ko meri i runga i te, Ko Meri i runga i te
You go down just like Holy Mary
– Ka heke koe pērā ki A Meri Tapu
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
Your beauty never ever scared me
– Kāore tōu ataahua i mataku i ahau
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
If you choose to run away with me
– Ki te whiriwhiri koe ki te rere atu ki ahau
I will tickle you internally
– Ka tīkina koe e ahau i roto
And I see nothing wrong with that
– A kaore au e kite i tetahi mea kino ki tera
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
– (Meri i runga i te, Meri i runga i te ripeka)
Nothing wrong with that
– Kahore he he ki taua
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
– (Meri i runga i te, Meri i runga i te ripeka)
Nothing wrong with that
– Kahore he he ki taua
(Mary on a, Mary on a cross)
– (Meri i runga i te, Meri i runga i te ripeka)
Mary on a, Mary on a cross
– Ko meri i runga i te ripeka, Ko Meri i runga i te ripeka
