Kupu Tūpato
Them winters wear on a cowboy
– Ka mau rātau ki te kauhoe i te hotoke
And theres only so much you can do
– A he nui noa iho te mea ka taea e koe
I was lonesome as leaves when the trees lay them down
– I noho mokemoke ahau hei rau i te wa e whakatakotoria ana e nga rakau
Then I looked up and laid eyes on you
– Katahi ahau ka titiro ake ka titiro atu ki a koe
I needed a woman to hold me
– I hiahia ahau ki tētahi wahine hei pupuri i ahau
An angel to know me
– He anahera hei mohio ki ahau
Girl even if it was just for a season
– Girl ara, ki te ko reira tika mo te wa
It was you for a reason
– Ko koe mō tētahi take
Nobody else would’ve heard it
– Kāore he tangata i rongo i a ia
Soul that I held to my heart
– Ko te wairua I mau I ahau ki toku ngakau
I didn’t know the one thing I was needing
– Kāore au i te mōhio ki te mea kotahi i hiahiatia e au
But you knew it right from the start
– Engari i mohio koe mai i te timatanga
I needed a woman to hold me
– I hiahia ahau ki tētahi wahine hei pupuri i ahau
An angel to know me
– He anahera hei mohio ki ahau
Girl even if it was just for a season
– Girl ara, ki te ko reira tika mo te wa
It was you for a reason
– Ko koe mō tētahi take
Oh it was you for a reason
– Aue ko koe mo te take
I needed a woman to hold me
– I hiahia ahau ki tētahi wahine hei pupuri i ahau
An angel to know me
– He anahera hei mohio ki ahau
Girl even if it was just for a season
– Girl ara, ki te ko reira tika mo te wa
It was you for a reason
– Ko koe mō tētahi take
It was you for a reason
– Ko koe mō tētahi take
