Jumpin’ on a trampoline
– E peke ana i runga i te trampoline
Flippin’ in the air

Flames alight the trees

– Na kei runga tonu ratou i ahau
Wait, if I’m on fire
– Taria, ki te kei ahau i runga i te ahi
How am I so deep in love?
– He aha ahau i tino aroha ai?
When I dream of dying

I never feel so loved
– Kāore au i te tino aroha
I’ve been havin’ dreams
– Kua moemoea ahau
Splashin’ in a summer stream

Solid block of gold
