Kupu Tūpato
Daddy’s home for the first time in weeks
– Ko te whare o papa mo te wa tuatahi i roto i nga wiki
Got the dinner on the table, tell the kids it’s time to eat
– Haere ki te tina i runga i te tepu, korero ki nga tamariki te reira te wā ki te kai
And I made my baby’s favourite, but he didn’t seem to care
– Na ka hanga e ahau te tino o toku tamaiti, engari kihai ia i titiro ki te tiaki
I just tell myself he’s jet lagged and I’m glad to have him here
– Ka mea noa ahau ki ahau kua taka ia, ā, e hari ana ahau ki te whai i a ia ki konei
Then you showed me a photo on Instagram
– Na ka whakaaturia e koe ki Ahau He whakaahua I Runga I Instagram
It was how you grabbed your phone back right out of my hands
– Ko te huarahi i hopu ai koe i tō waea ki waho tonu o oku ringa
So I read your text, and now I regret it
– Na ka pānui ahau i tō kuputuhi, ā, ināianei ka pouri ahau
I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis
– E kore e taea e ahau te tiki i toku matenga ‘ a tawhio noa pehea kua koe te tākaro tēnehi
If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous
– Mehemea he moepuku noa iho, e kore ahau e hae
You won’t play with me
– E kore koe e tākaro ki ahau
And who’s Madeline?
– Ko Wai A Madeline?
I need to be alone, so I took myself to bed
– Me noho mokemoke ahau, nō reira i haere au ki te moenga
I got a lot of information, now I can’t even process
– He nui aku mōhiohio, ināianei kāore au e taea te tukatuka
So I wrote a little email and I told you what I saw
– Na ka tuhituhi ahau i tētahi īmēra iti a ka korerotia e ahau ki a koutou te mea i kite ahau
Then you came up to the bedroom and you made it all my fault
– Na ka haere mai koe ki runga ki te whare moenga a ka meinga e koe i te reira i toku he katoa
But you moved the goalposts, you’ve broken the rules
– Engari i nekehia e koe nga pou, kua takahia e koe nga ture
I tried to accommodate but you took me for a fool
– I whakamatau ahau ki te whakauru engari i tangohia ahau e koe hei kuware
So I read your text, and now I regret it
– Na ka pānui ahau i tō kuputuhi, ā, ināianei ka pouri ahau
I can’t get my head ’round how you’ve been playing tennis
– E kore e taea e ahau te tiki i toku matenga ‘ a tawhio noa pehea kua koe te tākaro tēnehi
If it was just sex, I wouldn’t be jealous
– Mehemea he moepuku noa iho, e kore ahau e hae
You won’t play with me
– E kore koe e tākaro ki ahau
And who the fuck is Madeline?
– Ko Wai Hoki A Madeline?
Da, da-da, da-da-da, who’s Madeline? (Who’s Madeline?)
