Kupu Tūpato
I miss knowin’ what you’re thinkin’
– E mihi ana ahau ki te mōhio ki tāu e whakaaro nei
And hearin’ how your day has been
– Me te whakarongo ki te āhua o tō rā
Do you think you could tell me everythin’, darlin’?
– E whakaaro ana koe ka taea e koe te korero ki ahau i nga mea katoa, darlin?
But leave out every part about him
– Engari waiho atu nga wahi katoa e pā ana ki a ia
Right now, you’re probably by the ocean
– I tēnei wā, tērā pea kei te moana koe
While I’m still out here in the rain
– I a au e noho ana i konei i te ua
With every day that passes by since we’ve spoken
– I nga ra katoa ka pahemo mai i te wa i korero ai matou
It’s like Glasgow gets farther from LA
– He rite Ki Te Mea Ka tawhiti atu A Glasgow I LA
Maybe it’s supposed to be this way
– Tērā pea koia tēnei
But, oh, my love
– Engari, e te aroha
I wanna say, “I miss the green in your eyes”
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te mea, “e mihi ana ahau ki te matomato i roto i your kanohi”
And when I said we could be friends, guess I lied
– A, i taku kī ka taea e mātou te noho hoa, ki taku whakaaro i teka ahau
I wanna say, “I wish that you never left”
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te mea, “e hiahia ana ahau kia kaua koe e haere”
Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best
– Aue, engari hei utu, e hiahia ana ahau ki a koe anake te pai
I wanna say, “Without you, everythin’s wrong”
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te mea, “Ki te Kore koe, he kino nga mea katoa”
And you were everythin’ I need all along
– A ko koe nga mea katoa e hiahia ana ahau i te wa katoa
I wanna say, “I wish that you never left”
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te mea, “e hiahia ana ahau kia kaua koe e haere”
Oh, but instead, I only wish you the best
– Aue, engari hei utu, e hiahia ana ahau ki a koe anake te pai
Well, I can’t help but notice
– Well, e kore e taea e ahau te āwhina engari kite
You seem happier than ever now
– He harikoa ake koe i mua
And I guess that I should tell you I’m sorry
– A ki taku whakaaro me korero atu ahau ki a koe e pouri ana ahau
It seems I was the problem somehow
– Te āhua nei ko au te raruraru i tētahi ara
Maybe I only brought you down
– Tērā pea i kawea mai koe e au ki raro
But, oh, my love
– Engari, e te aroha
