Kupu Tūpato
Lucky you were born that far away so
– Waimarie i whanau koe e tawhiti atu na
We could both make fun of distance
– Taea e tatou e rua kia ngahau o tawhiti
Lucky that I love a foreign land for
– Waimarie e aroha ana ahau ki te whenua ke mo
The lucky fact of your existence
– Ko te meka waimarie o to outou oraraa
Baby, I would climb the Andes solely
– Baby, e piki ana ahau i te Andes anake
To count the freckles on your body
– Hei tatau i nga freckles i runga i tou body
Never could imagine there were only
– E kore i taea e whakaaro i reira i anake
Ten million ways to love somebody
– 10 miriona ara ki te aroha ki te tangata
Le-do-lo-le-lo-le, le-do-lo-le-lo-le
– Le-do-le-le-le-le, le-do-le-le-le-le-le-le-le
Can’t you see? I’m at your feet
– Kāore e taea te kite koe? Ko ōu waewae ahau
Whenever, wherever
– Nga wa, i nga wahi katoa
We’re meant to be together
– Kia kōtahi tātou together
I’ll be there, and you’ll be near
– Ka haere ahau ki reira, a ka whakatata koutou
And that’s the deal, my dear
– A ko te mahi, e taku aroha
There over, hereunder
– I reira i runga i, konei
You’ll never have to wonder
– Ka kore koe e miharo
We can always play by ear
– Ka taea e tatou te takaro i nga wa katoa ma te taringa
But that’s the deal, my dear
– Koina te mahi, e taku aroha
Lucky that my lips not only mumble
– Waimarie e kore e mumble oku ngutu anake
They spill kisses like a fountain
– Ka tukuna e ratou nga kihi ano he puna
Lucky that my breasts are small and humble
– Waimarie e he iti me te haehaa oku u
So you don’t confuse ’em with mountains
– Na e kore koe e whakapoauau ’em ki te maunga
Lucky I have strong legs like my mother
– Waimarie i ahau waewae kaha rite toku whaea
To run for cover when I need it
– Ki te rere hoki cover ka hiahia ahau i te reira
And these two eyes that for no other
– Na enei kanohi e rua e hoki kahore atu
The day you leave, will cry a river
– Ko te ra ka waiho koe, ka karanga i te awa
Le-do-lo-le-lo-le, le-do-lo-le-lo-le
– Le-do-le-le-le-le, le-do-le-le-le-le-le-le-le
At your feet, I’m at your feet
– Kei ōu waewae ahau e noho ana
Whenever, wherever
– Nga wa, i nga wahi katoa
We’re meant to be together
– Kia kōtahi tātou together
I’ll be there, and you’ll be near
– Ka haere ahau ki reira, a ka whakatata koutou
And that’s the deal, my dear
– A ko te mahi, e taku aroha
There over, hereunder
– I reira i runga i, konei
Or up above, don’t wonder
– Ranei ki runga ake, kaua e miharo
We can always play by ear
– Ka taea e tatou te takaro i nga wa katoa ma te taringa
But that’s the deal, my dear
– Koina te mahi, e taku aroha
Le-do-lo-le-lo-le, le-do-lo-le-lo-le
– Le-do-le-le-le-le, le-do-le-le-le-le-le-le-le
Think out loud, say it again
– Whakaaro i roto i nui, mea i te reira ano
Le-do-lo-le-lo-le-lo-le
– Le-do-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le-le
Tell me one more time
– Korero mai ki ahau te tahi mea
That you’ll live lost in my eyes
– Ka ngaro koe i taku tirohanga
Whenever, wherever
– Nga wa, i nga wahi katoa
We’re meant to be together
– Kia kōtahi tātou together
I’ll be there, and you’ll be near
– Ka haere ahau ki reira, a ka whakatata koutou
And that’s the deal, my dear

There’s nothing left to fear
– Kaore he mea e mau ki te wehi
If you really feel the way I feel
– Ki te ite tino koe te ara ite ahau
Whenever, wherever

I’ll be there, and you’ll be near
