Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Made a meal and threw it up on Sunday
– I hanga he kai, ka maka i te reira i runga i te rātapu
I’ve got a lot of things to learn
– He maha aku mea hei ako
Said I would and I’ll be leaving one day
– Ka mea ahau ka haere ahau i tetahi ra
Before my heart starts to burn
– I mua i te tiimata o taku ngakau ki te tahu
So what’s the matter with you?
– Na he aha te mea ki a koe?
Sing me something new
– Waiata mai ki ahau he mea hou
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know?
– Kaore koe e mohio ki te makariri me te hau me te ua kaore e mohio?
They only seem to come and go away
– Te āhua nei ka haere mai rātau ka haere atu
Times are hard when things have got no meaning
– He uaua ngā wā kāore he tikanga o ngā mea
I’ve found a key upon the floor
– Kua kitea e ahau he kī i runga i te papa
Maybe you and I will not believe in
– Pea koe me ahau e kore e whakapono i roto i
The things we find behind the door
– Ko nga mea e kitea ana e tatou i muri i te tatau
So what’s the matter with you?
– Na he aha te mea ki a koe?
Sing me something new
– Waiata mai ki ahau he mea hou
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know?
– Kaore koe e mohio ki te makariri me te hau me te ua kaore e mohio?
They only seem to come and go away
– Te āhua nei ka haere mai rātau ka haere atu
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows
– Tu ki ahau, kahore he tangata e mohio
Yeah, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– Ae, kāore he tangata e mōhio ki te āhua o te mea
If you’re leaving will you take me with you?
– Ki te haere koe, ka mau koe ki ahau?
I’m tired of talking on my phone
– Kua ngenge ahau ki te kōrero i runga i taku waea
There is one thing I can never give you
– Kotahi te mea e kore e taea e ahau te hoatu ki a koe
My heart will never be your home
– E kore toku ngakau e waiho hei whare mou
So what’s the matter with you?
– Na he aha te mea ki a koe?
Sing me something new
– Waiata mai ki ahau he mea hou
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know?
– Kaore koe e mohio ki te makariri me te hau me te ua kaore e mohio?
They only seem to come and go away, hey, hey
– Ka haere mai ratou, ka haere atu, e, e
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows
– Tu ki ahau, kahore he tangata e mohio
Yeah, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– Ae, kāore he tangata e mōhio ki te āhua o te mea
The way it’s gonna be, yeah
– Ko te āhua o te mea, yeah
Maybe I can see, yeah
– Ka taea pea e au te kite, ae
Don’t you know the cold and wind and rain don’t know?
– Kaore koe e mohio ki te makariri me te hau me te ua kaore e mohio?
They only seem to come and go away, hey, hey
– Ka haere mai ratou, ka haere atu, e, e
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows the way it’s gonna be
– E tu ki ahau, e kore tetahi e mohio ki te ara e haere ai
Stand by me, nobody knows
– Tu ki ahau, kahore he tangata e mohio
Yeah, God only knows the way it’s gonna be
– Ae, E mohio Ana Te Atua anake ki te huarahi e puta ai
