Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I might never be your knight in shinin’ armour
– Kāore pea au i te rite ki a koe i roto I te shinin’ armour
I might never be the one you take home to mother
– Kāore pea au i te tangata e kawea ana e koe ki te kāinga ki te whaea
And I might never be the one who brings you flowers
– A kaore pea au e waiho hei tangata e kawe mai ana i nga putiputi ki a koe
But I can be the one, be the one tonight
– Engari ka taea e au te kotahi, te kotahi i tēnei pō
When I first saw you from across the room
– I taku kitenga tuatahi i a koe i te taha o te ruma
I could tell that you were curious, oh, yeah
– Ka taea e au te kii he pākiki koe, ae, ae
Girl, I hope you’re sure what you’re looking for
– E te kotiro, ko te tūmanako kei te tino mōhio koe ki tāu e rapu nei
‘Cause I’m not good at making promises
– ‘No te mea e kore ahau e pai ki te hanga kupu whakaari
But if you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
– Engari ki te hiahia koe ki te raruraru i roto i nga ruma hotera
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
– A ki te hiahia koe ki te whai i te hui iti ngaro
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
– Ki te hiahia koe ki te mahi i nga mea e mohio ana koe e kore e mahi tatou
Then, baby, I’m perfect
– Na, e te tamaiti, he tino pai ahau
Baby, I’m perfect for you
– E te tamaiti, he tino pai ahau ki a koe
And if you like midnight driving with the windows down
– A ki te rite koe midnight peia ki te matapihi ki raro
And if you like goin’ places we can’t even pronounce
– A ki te pai koe ki te haere ki ngā wāhi kāore e taea e mātou te whakahua
If you like to do whatever you’ve been dreamin’ about
– Ki te hiahia koe ki te mahi i nga mea katoa kua moemoea koe
Then, baby, you’re perfect
– Na, e te tamaiti, he tino pai koe
Baby, you’re perfect
– E te tamaiti, he tino pai koe
So let’s start right now
– Na kia tīmata tika i teie nei
I might never be the hands you put your heart in
– Kāore pea au i te ringa e hoatu ana e koe tōu ngakau ki roto
Or the arms that hold you any time you want them
– Ranei nga ringa e mau ana ki a koe i nga wa katoa e hiahia ana koe ki a raatau
But that don’t mean that we can’t live here in the moment
– Engari ehara i te mea e kore e taea e tātou te noho ki konei i tēnei wā
‘Cause I can be the one you love from time to time
– ‘No te mea ka taea e ahau te kotahi aroha koe i te wa ki te wa
When I first saw you from across the room
– I taku kitenga tuatahi i a koe i te taha o te ruma
I could tell that you were curious, oh, yeah
– Ka taea e au te kii he pākiki koe, ae, ae
Girl, I hope you’re sure what you’re looking for

So let’s start right now
– Na kia tīmata tika i teie nei
And if you like cameras flashin’ every time we go out
– A ki te pai koe ki ngā kāmera e whiti ana i ia wā ka haere mātou ki waho
Oh, yeah
– Aue, ae
And if you’re looking for someone to write your breakup songs about
– A, ki te rapu koe mo te tangata ki te tuhituhi koutou waiata wehenga e pā ana ki
Then baby, I’m perfect
– Na, e te tamaiti, he tino pai ahau
And baby, we’re perfect
– A, e te tamaiti, he tino pai mātou
If you like causing trouble up in hotel rooms
– Ki te rite koe meinga raruraru ake i roto i te ruma hotera
And if you like having secret little rendezvous
– A ki te hiahia koe ki te whai i te hui iti ngaro
If you like to do the things you know that we shouldn’t do
