Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Standin’ in the corner of a crowded place
– E tū ana i te kokonga o tētahi wāhi ki tonu i te tangata
This is borin’, till I heard your name
– Ko borin tēnei, tae noa ki taku rongonga i tōu ingoa
And now I’m stayin’ for ya, we’re just friends, it’s okay
– Na, kei te noho au ki a koe, he hoa noa iho mātou, he pai
Kinda weird how my night changes
– He mea whakamiharo te āhua o te huri o taku pō
Is it just me startin’ to see
– Kei te tīmata noa ahau ki te kite
You in a different light?
– Koe i roto i te marama rerekē?
I know we can’t say what we mean
– E mohio ana ahau e kore e taea e tatou te mea he aha te tikanga o tatou
(But I’m happy that you’re here tonight)
– (Kei te harikoa ahau kei konei koe i tenei po)
I’m feelin’ so good at a bad party
– Kei te tino pai ahau i te huihuinga kino
We don’t have to talk, I know that you want me
– Kāore he kōrero, e mōhio ana ahau e hiahia ana koe ki ahau
Gotta keep it nice, we cannot be naughty
– Me pupuri i te reira pai, e kore e taea e tatou te kino
We could get drinks, or we could get coffee
– Ka taea e mātou te inu, ka taea rānei te tiki kawhe
Feelin’ so good at a bad party
– He tino pai ki te pāti kino
We don’t have to talk, I know that you want me

– Ka taea e mātou te inu, ka taea rānei te tiki kawhe
Is it so wrong I’ve been thinkin’ ’bout you all day
– He kino rawa te whakaaro ki a koe i te rā katoa
Yesterday, and today, and tomorrow?
– Inanahi, me tenei ra, me apopo?
Is it so wrong I’ve been bendin’ the truth all day
– He kino rawa te mea kua piko ahau i te pono i te ra katoa
Yesterday, and today, and tomorrow?
– Inanahi, me tenei ra, me apopo?

I know we can’t say what we mean
– E mohio ana ahau e kore e taea e tatou te mea he aha te tikanga o tatou
(But you know that I mean it, right?)
