Kupu Tūpato
See the stone set in your eyes
– Tirohia te kohatu i whakatakotoria ki ō kanohi
See the thorn twist in your side
– Tirohia te tea tataramoa i roto i to koutou taha
I’ll wait for you
– Ka tatari ahau ki a koe
Slight of hand and twist of fate
– He iti o te ringa me te whakakeke o te takahanga
On a bed of nails she makes me wait
– I runga i te moenga o nga whao ka tatari ahau
And I’ll wait without you
– A ka tatari ahau ki te kore koe
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
Through the storm we reach the shore
– Na roto i te tupuhi ka tae tatou ki te takutai
You give it all but I want more
– Ka hoatu e koe te katoa engari e hiahia ana ahau atu
And I’m waiting for you
– Kei te tatari ahau ki a koe
Withor without you
– Ki te kore koe
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
I can’t live
– Kāore e taea e au te ora
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
And you give, and you give
– A ka hoatu e koe, a ka hoatu e koe
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
My hands are tied
– Kua herea oku ringa
My body bruised, she got me with
– Kua whati toku tinana, kua mau ia ki ahau
Nothing to win and nothing left to lose
– Kāore he mea hei wikitōria kāore he mea hei ngaro
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
And you give, and you give
– A ka hoatu e koe, a ka hoatu e koe
And you give yourself away
– A ka hoatu e koe ki a koe
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
I can’t live
– Kāore e taea e au te ora
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
Oh-oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh-oh
Oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
With or without you
– Ki a koe, ki waho rānei
I can’t live
– Kāore e taea e au te ora
With or without you

With or without you
