Kupu Tūpato
Rather be a fool
– Engari kia wairangi
Than to start with somethin’ new (Start with somethin’ new)
– Than ki te tīmata ki te tahi mea ‘hou (Tīmata ki te tahi mea’ hou)
Cryin’ hardly does it anymore
– Kāore e taea e Cryin’ hardly does it anymore
Can’t drink with your pain anymore, oh
– Kāore e taea te inu me tō mamae, oh
Oh, I’d rather
– Aue, e pai ana ahau
I’d rather be a fool than believe in someone new
– He pai ake ki ahau te wairangi i te whakapono ki tētahi tangata hou
I’d rather be with you
– He pai ake taku noho ki a koe
Than the other half of someone who’s not even half of you
– I te tahi atu hawhe o te tangata e kore te ara hawhe o koutou
Oh-oh
– E te atua
Yeah
– Ae
Oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh
Now I’m in this room
– Na kei roto ahau i tenei ruma
Wishin’ you settled down or come around
– E hiahia ana koe ki te noho ki raro, ki te haere mai rānei
I’ve been dancin’ to all the songs that you love all along
– Kua kanikani ahau ki ngā waiata katoa e arohaina ana e koe i ngā wā katoa
Lost in the dark
– Kua ngaro i te pōuri
‘Cause you stole the sun, oh-oh
– ‘Nā te mea i tahaetia e koe te rā, oh-oh
Oh, tears are fallin’
– Aue, kei te heke nga roimata
When I see your face in our phone, I can’t erase the memory
– A, no te kite ahau i tou mata i roto i to tatou waea, e kore e taea e ahau te erui i te mahara
Countin’ all the ways she ain’t right for me
– Ka tatau i ngā huarahi katoa kāore i te tika ki ahau
I’ll take your mistakes over missin’ you, always (Ooh)
– Ka tangohia e ahau o koutou hape i runga i missin ‘ koe, tonu (Ooh)
Am I out of place? Out here when I’m supposed to leave
– Kei te ngaro ahau? I konei i te wā e tika ana kia haere atu ahau
Oh, I’m tellin’ you
– Aue, kei te korero ahau ki a koe
Rather be a fool than believe in someone new
– Engari kia wairangi i te whakapono i roto i te tangata hou
I’d rather be with you
– He pai ake taku noho ki a koe
Than the other half of someone who’s not even half of you
– I te tahi atu hawhe o te tangata e kore te ara hawhe o koutou
Oh-oh
– E te atua
Yeah
– Ae
Oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh
