Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Nights in white satin
– Ngā po i roto i te satin white
Never reaching the end
– Kaua rawa e tae ki te mutunga
Letters I’ve written
– Ngā reta kua tuhia e au
Never meaning to send
– Kaua rawa e whakaaro ki te tuku
Beauty I’d always missed
– Ataahua i ngaro tonu ahau
With these eyes before
– Ki ēnei kanohi i mua
Just what the truth is
– He aha te pono
I can’t say anymore
– Kāore e taea e au te kī atu
‘Cause I love you
– ‘No te mea e aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Yes, I love you
– Ae, e aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Oh, how I love you
– E aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Gazing at people
– Te titiro ki te tangata
Some hand in hand
– He ringa i roto i te ringa
Just what I’m going through
– Ko te mea anake e haere ana ahau
They can’t understand
– Kaore e taea e ratou te mohio
Some try to tell me
– Ko etahi e ngana ana ki te korero mai ki ahau
Thoughts they cannot defend
– Whakaaro e kore e taea e ratou te tiaki
Just what you want to be
– Just te mea e hiahia ana koe ki te kia
You will be in the end
– Ka waiho koe i roto i te mutunga
And I love you
– E aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Yes, I love you
– Ae, e aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Oh, how I love you
– E aroha ana ahau ki a koe
Oh, how I love you
– E aroha ana ahau ki a koe
