Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Days go by so fast, I wanna spend them with you
– He tere te haere o ngā rā, e hiahia ana ahau kia noho tahi rātou me koe
So tell me why you’re throwing stones at my back
– Na korerotia mai ki ahau he aha koe i maka ai i nga kohatu ki toku tuara
You know I’m defenseless, oh
– E mōhio ana koe kāore au i te ārai, oh
And, girl, we better stop before we say some shit
– A, e te kotiro, me mutu tātou i mua i te kī i ētahi mea
We’ve been testing our patience
– Kua whakamatauria e matou to manawanui
I think we better off if we just take a breath
– Ki taku whakaaro he pai ake ta tatou ki te manawa noa iho
And remember what grace is
– A kia mahara he aha te aroha noa
Baby, I ain’t walking away
– E te tamaiti, e kore ahau e haere atu
You are my diamond
– Ko koe taku taimana
Gave you a ring
– Hoatu ki a koe he mowhiti
I made you a promise
– I whakaari ahau ki a koe
I told you I’d change
– I ki atu ahau ki a koe ka huri ahau
It’s just human nature
– He āhua tangata noa iho
These growing pains
– Ko ēnei mamae e tipu ana
And baby, I ain’t walking away
– A, e te tamaiti, e kore ahau e haere atu
And every time you don’t say my name
– A i nga wa katoa e kore koe e mea i toku ingoa
I’m reminded how I love when you say it
– E mahara ana ahau ki taku aroha ina korerotia e koe
I know we have this moment to face
– E mohio ana ahau kei a tatou tenei wa ki te kanohi
But, baby, I ain’t walking away
– Engari, e te tamaiti, kāore au e haere atu
Change takes time, girl
– Huringa e time, kotiro
Let’s see what we can do, uh
– Kia kite tatou i te mea e taea e tatou, uh
(We can do, we can do, we can do, we can do)
– (Ka taea e tatou, ka taea e tatou, ka taea e tatou, ka taea e tatou)
‘Cause even when they leave
– ‘No te mea ahakoa ka haere atu ratou
I keep on dreaming of the best parts of you, oh
– Kei te moemoea tonu ahau mo nga waahanga pai o koe, oh
And girl, we better stop before we say some shit
– A, e te kotiro, me mutu tatou i mua i to tatou korero i etahi mea
We been testing our patience (Oh, yeah, oh, yeah)
– I whakamatauria e matou to manawanui (Aue ,ae, ae, ae)
I think we better off if we just take a breath
– Ki taku whakaaro he pai ake ta tatou ki te manawa noa iho
And remember what grace is
