Kupu Tūpato
Come stop your cryin’, it will be alright
– Haere mai ki te whakamutu i tō tangi, ka pai
Just take my hand, hold it tight
– Tangohia taku ringa, kia mau tonu
I will protect you from all around you
– Ka tiakina koe e ahau i te katoa a tawhio noa koe
I will be here, don’t you cry
– Ka noho au ki konei, kaua e tangi
For one so small, you seem so strong
– Ko te mea iti rawa, he kaha rawa koe
My arms will hold you, keep you safe and warm
– Ka mau toku ringa ki a koe, kia mau ki a koe, kia mahana
This bond between us can’t be broken
– Kaore e taea te pakaru i tenei hononga i waenga i a maatau
I will be here, don’t you cry
– Ka noho au ki konei, kaua e tangi
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart
– ‘No te mea ka noho koe i roto i toku ngakau
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
– Ae, ka waiho koe i roto i toku ngakau
From this day on, now and forevermore
– Mai i tēnei rā, ināianei, ā ake ake
You’ll be in my heart
– Ka noho koe ki roto i toku ngakau
No matter what they say
– Ahakoa he aha ta ratou e korero nei
You’ll be here in my heart always
– Ka noho koe ki konei i roto i toku ngakau i nga wa katoa
Why can’t they understand the way we feel?
– He aha e kore ai e taea e rātau te mārama ki te āhua o tō tātou āhua?
They just don’t trust what they can’t explain
– Kaore ratou e whakawhirinaki ki ta ratou e kore e taea te whakamarama
And I know we’re different, but deep inside us
– A e mohio ana ahau he rerekē mātou, engari kei roto tonu i a mātou
We’re not that different at all
– Kāore mātou i te rerekē
And you’ll be in my heart
– A ka waiho koe i roto i toku ngakau
Yes, you’ll be in my heart
– Ae, ka waiho koe i roto i toku ngakau
From this day on, now and forevermore
– Mai i tēnei rā, ināianei, ā ake ake
Don’t listen to them
– Kaua e whakarongo ki a ratou
‘Cause what do they know? (What do they know?)
– ‘Na te mea e mohio ana ratou? (He aha ta ratou e mohio ai?)
We need each other, to have, to hold
– Me tatou tahi i te tahi, ki te whai, ki te pupuri
They’ll see in time, I know
– Ka kite ratou i roto i te wa, e mohio ana ahau
When destiny calls you
– Ka karanga te whakatau ki a koe
You must be strong (You gotta be strong)
– Me kaha koe (Me kaha koe)
I may not be with you, but you’ve got to hold on
– Kāore pea au i te noho tahi me koe, engari me mau tonu koe
They’ll see in time, I know
– Ka kite ratou i roto i te wa, e mohio ana ahau
We’ll show them together
– Ka whakaaturia e mātou ki a rātou
‘Cause you’ll be in my heart
– ‘No te mea ka noho koe i roto i toku ngakau
Believe me, you’ll be in my heart
– Whakapono mai ki ahau, ka noho koe ki roto i toku ngakau
I’ll be there from this day on
– Ka noho au ki reira mai i tēnei rā
Now and forevermore
– I tēnei wā, ā, ake tonu atu
Ooh, you’ll be in my heart (You’ll be here in my heart, oh)
– Aue, ka waiho koe i roto i toku ngakau (Ka waiho koe i konei i roto i toku ngakau, aue)
No matter what they say (I’ll be with you)
– Noa’tu ta ratou e mea (ka waiho e ahau ki a koutou)
You’ll be here in my heart (I’ll be there)
– Ka noho koe ki konei i roto i toku ngakau (i’ll be there)
Always
– Tonu
Always, I’ll be with you
– I nga wa katoa, ka noho ahau ki a koe
And I’ll be there for you always
– A ka noho au ki reira mō koe i ngā wā katoa
Always and always
– I nga wa katoa me nga wa katoa
Just look over your shoulder
– Titiro noa ki tō pokohiwi
Just look over your shoulder
– Titiro noa ki tō pokohiwi
Just look over your shoulder
– Titiro noa ki tō pokohiwi
I’ll be there, always
– Ka noho au ki reira, i ngā wā katoa
