Last Christmas I gave you my heart
– Kirihimete Last hoatu e ahau ki a koutou i toku ngakau
But the very next day you gave it away
– Ko te ra rawa i muri i hoatu e koe i te reira atu
This year, to save me from tears
– Tenei tau, ki te whakaora i ahau i te roimata
I’ll give it to someone special
– Ka hoatu e ahau ki te tangata motuhake

With a note saying “I love you”, I meant it

Now I know what a fool I’ve been
