Kupu Tūpato
She’s always on my mind
– Kei te whakaaro tonu ia ki ahau
From the time I wake up
– Mai I te wā ka w ahau
‘Til I close my eyes
– ‘Kia kati ra ano oku kanohi
She’s everywhere I go
– Kei nga wahi katoa e haere ana ahau
She’s all I know
– Ko ia anake taku e mohio ana
Though she’s so far away
– Ahakoa he tawhiti rawa atu ia
It just keeps getting stronger
– Ka kaha haere tonu
Everyday, and even now she’s gone
– I nga ra katoa, a tae noa ki tenei wa kua haere ia
I’m still holding on
– Kei te mau tonu ahau
So tell me where do I start
– Na korerotia mai ki ahau te wahi e tīmata ahau
‘Cause it’s breaking my heart
– ‘No te mea kei te whati i toku ngakau
Don’t wanna let her go
– Kaua e tukua ia kia haere
Maybe my love will come back someday
– Tērā pea ka hoki mai taku aroha i tētahi rā
Only heaven knows
– Ko te rangi anake e mōhio ana
And maybe our hearts will find their way
– A ka kitea pea e o tatou ngakau to ratou ara
Only heaven knows
– Ko te rangi anake e mōhio ana
And all I can do is hope and pray
– A ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te tumanako me te inoi
‘Cause heaven knows
– ‘Na te mea e mohio ana te rangi
My friends keep telling me
– Ka korerotia mai e aku hoa ki ahau
That if you really love her
– E ki te tino aroha koe ki a ia
You’ve gotta set her free
– Me tuku noa ia e koe
And if she returns in kind
– A ki te hoki mai ia i roto i te ahua
I’ll know she’s mine
– Ka mohio ahau ko ia taku
But tell me where do I start
– Tena, korerotia mai ki ahau te wahi e timata ai ahau
‘Cause it’s breaking my heart
– ‘No te mea kei te whati i toku ngakau
Don’t wanna let her go
– Kaua e tukua ia kia haere
Maybe my love will come back someday
– Tērā pea ka hoki mai taku aroha i tētahi rā
Only heaven knows
– Ko te rangi anake e mōhio ana
And maybe our hearts will find their way
– A ka kitea pea e o tatou ngakau to ratou ara
But only heaven knows
– Engari ko te rangi anake e mohio ana
And all I can do is hope and pray
– A ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te tumanako me te inoi
‘Cause heaven knows
– ‘Na te mea e mohio ana te rangi
Why I live in despair?
– He aha ahau i noho ai i roto i te pouri?
‘Cause while awake or dreaming
– ‘Nā te mea i te wā e mataara ana, e moemoea ana rānei
I know she’s never there
– E mōhio ana ahau kāore ia i reira
And all the time I act so brave
– A ko te wā katoa e mahi ana ahau i te toa
I’m shaking inside
– Kei te wiri ahau i roto
Why does it hurt me so?
– He aha ahau i whara ai?
Maybe my love will come back someday
– Tērā pea ka hoki mai taku aroha i tētahi rā
Only heaven knows
– Ko te rangi anake e mōhio ana
And maybe our hearts will find their way
– A ka kitea pea e o tatou ngakau to ratou ara
But only heaven knows
– Engari ko te rangi anake e mohio ana
And all I can do is hope and pray
– A ko te mea anake ka taea e au ko te tumanako me te inoi
‘Cause heaven knows
– ‘Na te mea e mohio ana te rangi
Heaven knows
– E mōhio ana te rangi
Heaven knows
– E mōhio ana te rangi
