Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
There’s a sound like a drum echoin’
– He rite te tangi ki te tangi o te puoro
When the high from your love’s kickin’ in
– A, no te te tiketike i tou aroha o kickin’ i roto i
And it hits like the Holy Ghost
– A ka rite ki te Wairua Tapu
A million mile an hour wind
– Kotahi miriona maero i te haora te hau
Pour some fuel on the floor, make a fire
– Ringihia etahi wahie i runga i te papa, hanga he ahi
Strike a match, light the flame of desire
– Patohia he matariki, whakaarahia te mura o te hiahia
Keep me warm, ’cause this town is cold
– Kia mahana ahau, ‘ no te mea he makariri tenei pa
All night long
– Ko te po katoa
You make the spot light up wherever we are
– Hanga e koe te wahi marama ake nga wahi katoa e tatou
All night, we’re magnetically charged
– I te pō katoa, ka utua ā-maneta mātou
Lightning couldn’t strike us apart
– Kāore i taea e te uira te patu i a mātau
You got me dancin’ to the beat of your heart
– I whakaohohia ahau e koe ki te whakatangi o tōu ngakau
True love in a city of lies
– Te aroha pono i roto i te taone o te teka
Get lost when I look in your eyes
– Ka ngaro ahau ina titiro ahau ki your kanohi
Lightning couldn’t strike us apart
– Kāore i taea e te uira te patu i a mātau
You got me dancin’ to the beat of your heart
– I whakaohohia ahau e koe ki te whakatangi o tōu ngakau
Pleadin’ guilty, I’m not innocent
– E whakaae ana ahau he hara ahau, ehara ahau i te mea harakore
If the crime is your love, let me sin
– Ki te mea ko to koutou aroha te hara, tukua ahau kia hara
Prayin’ nobody saves my soul
– Inoi ‘ kahore he tangata e whakaora i toku wairua
Oh, no
– Aue, kaore
Spin me around, take me up, take me down, high and low
– Hurihia ahau, tangohia ahau ki runga, tangohia ahau ki raro, ki runga, ki raro
Spin me around, lift me up off the ground, don’t let go
– Hurihia ahau, whakaarahia ahau i runga i te whenua, kaua e tukua atu
All night long
– Ko te po katoa
You make the spot light up wherever we are
– Hanga e koe te wahi marama ake nga wahi katoa e tatou
All night, we’re magnetically charged
– I te pō katoa, ka utua ā-maneta mātou
Lightning couldn’t strike us apart
– Kāore i taea e te uira te patu i a mātau
You got me dancin’ to the beat of your heart
– I whakaohohia ahau e koe ki te whakatangi o tōu ngakau
True love in a city of lies
– Te aroha pono i roto i te taone o te teka
Get lost when I look in your eyes
– Ka ngaro ahau ina titiro ahau ki your kanohi
Lightning couldn’t strike us apart
– Kāore i taea e te uira te patu i a mātau
You got me dancin’ to the beat of your heart
– I whakaohohia ahau e koe ki te whakatangi o tōu ngakau
You got me dancin’, I’m dancin’, to the beat of your heart
– Ka kanikani koe i ahau, kei te kanikani ahau, ki te patunga o tou ngakau
You got me dancin’, I’m dancin’, to the beat of your heart
– Ka kanikani koe i ahau, kei te kanikani ahau, ki te patunga o tou ngakau
You got me dancin’, I’m dancin’, to the beat of your heart
– Ka kanikani koe i ahau, kei te kanikani ahau, ki te patunga o tou ngakau
You got me dancin’, to the beat of your heart
– Ka kanikani koe i ahau, ki te patunga o tou ngakau
