Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Still falling
– Kei te hinga tonu
Breathless and on again
– He manawa kore, ā, kei te haere tonu
Inside today
– I roto i tēnei rā
Beside me today
– I te taha o ahau i tenei ra
A round broken in two
– He rauna kua whati ki te rua
Till your eyes shed
– Kia ngaro ra ano o koutou kanohi
Into dust
– Ki te puehu
Like two strangers
– Ka rite ki nga tangata ke e rua
Turning into dust
– Tahuri ki te puehu
Till my hand shook
– Kia ruru ra ano toku ringa
With the way I fear
– Ki te ara e wehi ana ahau
I could possibly be fading
– Ka taea pea e au te ngaro
Or have something more to gain
– Ranei i te tahi mea atu ki te riro
I could feel myself growing colder
– Ka taea e au te col i ahau e tipu ana i te makariri
I could feel myself under your feet
– Ka taea e au teel i ahau i raro i your waewae
Under your feet
– I raro i ōu waewae
It was you
– Ko koe
Breathless and tall
– He manawa kore, he roa hoki
I could feel my eyes turning into dust
– Ka taea e au te huri i oku kanohi hei puehu
And two strangers
– Me ngā tangata kē e rua
Turning into dust
– Tahuri ki te puehu
Turning into dust
– Tahuri ki te puehu
