Kupu Tūpato
We were crazy to think
– I haurangi mātou ki te whakaaro
Crazy to think that this could work
– He haurangi ki te whakaaro ka taea e tēnei te mahi
Remember how I said I’d die for you?
– Kia mahara ki taku i mea ai ka mate ahau mo koe?
We were stupid to jump
– He maamaa matou ki te peke
In the ocean separating us
– I te moana e wehe ana i a tātou
Remember how I’d fly to you?
– Kia mahara me pehea taku rere atu ki a koe?
And I can’t talk to you when you’re like this
– A kaore e taea e au te korero ki a koe i te wa e penei ana koe
Staring out the window like I’m not your favorite town
– E titiro ana ki waho o te matapihi, me te mea ehara ahau i te taone tino pai ki a koe
I’m New York City
– Ko Ahau Te Taone Nui O New York
I still do it for you, babe
– Kei te mahi tonu ahau ki a koe, babe
They all warned us about times like this
– I whakatupato katoa ratou ki a matou mo nga wa penei
They say the road gets hard and you get lost
– Ka mea ratou ka uaua te huarahi ka ngaro koe
When you’re led by blind faith, blind faith
– Ka arahina koe e te whakapono matapo, te whakapono matapo
But we might just get away with it
– Engari ka taea pea e tātou te mawhiti atu
Religion’s in your lips
– Kei roto i ō ngutu te hāhi
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
We’d still worship
– Ka karakia tonu mātou
We might just get away with it
– Ka taea pea e tātou te mawhiti atu
The altar is my hips
– Ko te aata toku hope
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
We’d still worship this love
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha
We’d still worship this love
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha
We’d still worship this love
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha
I know heaven’s a thing
– E mohio ana ahau he mea te rangi
I go there when you touch me, honey
– Ka haere ahau ki reira ina pa mai koe ki ahau, e te honi
Hell is when I fight with you
– Ko te reinga ina whawhai ahau ki a koe
But we can patch it up good
– Engari ka taea e tātou te whakatika i te pai
Make confessions and we’re begging for forgiveness
– Me whakaae, ā, e inoi ana mātou mō te murunga hara
Got the wine for you
– He waina mōu
And you can’t talk to me when I’m like this
– A e kore e taea e koe te kōrero ki ahau ina ahau rite tenei
Daring you to leave me just so I can try and scare you
– E maia ana koe ki te whakarere i ahau kia taea ai e au te whakamatau ki te whakawehi i a koe
You’re the West Village
– Ko koe te Kainga Ki Te Uru
You still do it for me, babe
– E mahi tonu ana koe i te reira mo ahau, babe
They all warned us about times like this
– I whakatupato katoa ratou ki a matou mo nga wa penei
They say the road gets hard and you get lost
– Ka mea ratou ka uaua te huarahi ka ngaro koe
When you’re led by blind faith, blind faith
– Ka arahina koe e te whakapono matapo, te whakapono matapo
But we might just get away with it
– Engari ka taea pea e tātou te mawhiti atu
Religion’s in your lips
– Kei roto i ō ngutu te hāhi
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
We’d still worship
– Ka karakia tonu mātou
We might just get away with it
– Ka taea pea e tātou te mawhiti atu
The altar is my hips
– Ko te aata toku hope
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
We’d still worship this love
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha
We’d still worship this love
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha
We’d still worship this love, ah
– Ka koropiko tonu mātou ki tēnei aroha, ah
Still worship this love
– E koropiko tonu ana ki tēnei aroha
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
Even if it’s a false god
– Ahakoa he atua teka
Still worship this love
– E koropiko tonu ana ki tēnei aroha
