Kupu Tūpato
Uh ah
– Ko te Uh ah
Uh ah
– Ko te Uh ah
Father, father did you trick or treat
– E te matua, i tinihangatia koe e te matua, i tukinotia rānei
My bucket is empty but words on the streets
– He kau taku peere engari he kupu kei runga i nga huarahi
Had me, had me in the guillotine
– I ahau, i ahau i roto i te guillotine
So I just keep on, keep on breathing
– Na ka haere tonu ahau, ka manawa tonu
Father, father will I make it home (home)
– Papa, ka hanga e ahau i te reira te kāinga(home)
And carry my soul now my mind is alone
– Na ka mau ki toku wairua inaianei ko toku hinengaro anake
Will you, will you make it disappear
– Ka ngaro koe, ka ngaro koe
That voice underneath I refuse to hear
– Ko taua reo I raro I ahau e kore e pai ki te whakarongo
When I get low my, my, my
– Ka heke iho ahau, e taku, e taku
Melodies changing time
– Ngā waiata e huri ana i te wā
Feel the whole world coming down on me
– Fe i te ao katoa e heke iho ana ki ahau
I feel you wanna save, but actuality
– Ki taku whakaaro e hiahia ana koe ki te whakaora, engari ko te mea pono
Shoots me down bang, bang, bang
– Ka patu ahau i a bang, bang, bang
Heading out of bed got this boomerang
– I te putanga atu i te moenga ka whiwhi i tēnei boomerang
Always comes back harder than I thought
– He uaua ake te hoki mai i taku i whakaaro ai
Different kind of blues that’s in triggered my heart
– He momo blues rerekē kei roto i te triggered my heart
Uh ah
– Ko te Uh ah
Uh ah
– Ko te Uh ah
Uh ah

Father, father did you trick or treat
– E te matua, i tinihangatia koe e te matua, i tukinotia rānei
Did it come from your hands
– I puta mai i ō ringaringa
When you gave me the sweet
– A, no te hoatu e koe ki ahau te reka
Sugar, sugar did I lose my mind
– Sugar, sugar i ngaro i ahau toku ngakau
Will I just keep on, keep on dreaming
– Ka mau tonu ahau, ka moemoea tonu
Father, father would you be around
– E te matua, e te matua, ka noho koe ki te taha
When my worlds they collapse
– Ka hinga aku ao
And I fall towards the ground
– A ka hinga ahau ki te whenua
Would you, would you make it disappear
– E koe, e meinga e koe kia ngaro
That voice underneath I refuse to hear
– Ko taua reo I raro I ahau e kore e pai ki te whakarongo
When I get low my, my, my
– Ka heke iho ahau, e taku, e taku
Melodies changing time

Always comes back harder than I thought
– He uaua ake te hoki mai i taku i whakaaro ai
Different kind of blues that’s in triggered my heart
– He momo blues rerekē kei roto i te triggered my heart
It may keeps on coming back
– Ka hoki mai pea
And leaves without filling my desire
– A ka haere atu me te kore e whakakiia taku hiahia
When you got nothing left to lose there is nothing left to choose
– Ki te kore he mea e toe ana hei ngaro kaore he mea e toe ana hei whiriwhiri
That’s the different kind of blues (yeah)
– Koinei te momo rereke o te blues (yeah)
And I ain’t keeping on
– A e kore ahau e pupuri i runga i
No I ain’t keeping on
– No e kore ahau e pupuri i runga i
Cause if the stars can shine a light
– Take ki te taea e nga whetu te whiti i te marama
Then the sun must be bright somewhere else (yeah)
– Na me marama te ra ki tetahi atu wahi (yeah)
When I get low my, my, my
– Ka heke iho ahau, e taku, e taku
Melodies changing time
– Ngā waiata e huri ana i te wā
Feel the whole world coming down on me
