Kupu Tūpato
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
Lay a whisper on my pillow
– Takoto he whisper i runga i toku urunga
Leave the winter on the ground
– Waiho te hotoke i runga i te whenua
I wake up lonely, there’s air of silence
– Kaake ahau, he mokemoke, he hau o te puku
In the bedroom and all around
– I roto i te rūma moe me te katoa a tawhio noa
Touch me now, I close my eyes
– Pa mai ki ahau inaianei, ka kati aku kanohi
And dream away
– Me te moemoea atu
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
– He pai pea engari i ngaro I ahau
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
From the moment we touched till the time had run out
– Mai i te wā i pa atu ai mātou tae noa ki te wā kua pau
Make believing we’re together
– Kia whakapono kei te noho tahi tātou
That I’m sheltered by your heart
– E tiakina ana ahau e tou ngakau
But in and outside, I turned to water
– Engari i roto, i waho, ka tahuri ahau ki te wai
Like a teardrop in your palm
– Ka rite ki te roimata i roto i to ringaringa
And it’s a hard winter’s day
– A ko te ra o te hotoke pakeke
I dream away
– E moemoea ana ahau
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It was all that I wanted, now, I’m living without
– Ko te mea anake I hiahia ai ahau, ināianei, kei te ora au me te kore
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows
– Ko te wāhi e rere ai te wai, ko te wāhi e pupuhi ai te hau
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It must have been good but I lost it somehow
– He pai pea engari i ngaro I ahau
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
From the moment we touched till the time had run out
– Mai i te wā i pa atu ai mātou tae noa ki te wā kua pau
Yeah, it must have been love but it’s over now
– Ae, me aroha, engari kua mutu inaianei
It was all that I wanted, now, I’m living without
– Ko te mea anake I hiahia ai ahau, ināianei, kei te ora au me te kore
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It’s where the water flows, it’s where the wind blows
– Ko te wāhi e rere ai te wai, ko te wāhi e pupuhi ai te hau
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
It must have been love but it’s over now
– He aroha pea engari kua mutu inaianei
