Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
I don’t pack light, I travel for a living, mm
– E kore ahau e pōkai marama, haere ahau mo te ora, mm
And I don’t abide by that fifty pound limit
– A e kore ahau e whai i taua rohe rima tekau pauna
On that Delta flight out west
– I taua Rerenga Delta ki te uru
I’m there every other Wednesday
– Kei reira ahau i ia rāapa
But my heart ain’t up in the air
– Engari kaore taku ngakau i runga i te rangi
So if you want me
– Na ki te hiahia koe ki ahau
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
– Horoia he pouaka, horoia he papa
I wouldn’t wanna do it with anybody else
– E kore ahau e hiahia ki te mahi i te reira ki tetahi atu
Everything that’s heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
– Ko nga mea katoa e taumaha ana, ae, ka tirohia e au i te tatau
Kinda feel like I don’t need it anymore
– Kinda fe rite e kore ahau e hiahia ana i te reira ake
I got some bones of old skeletons
– I whiwhi ahau i ētahi wheua o ngā kōwae tawhito
From the old house at the dead end
– Mai i te whare tawhito i te mutunga mate
I got baggage but I’m moving in
– He putea taku engari kei te neke ahau ki roto
We both slept on a mattress with “I love you” people, mm
– I moe rāua i runga i tētahi moenga me ngā tāngata”e aroha ana ahau ki a koe”, mm
And shit, I even took it all the way to the steeple
– A, ko te mea, i kawea e au ki te pourewa
So, boy, I know the weight and gravity
– Na, e tama, e mohio ana ahau ki te taumaha me te taumaha
Of keychains with same keys
– O keychains ki taua mau taviri
But if you want that welcome mat, then roll it out with me, yeah
– Otiia ki te hiahia koe e nau mai mat, ka hurihia i te reira i roto i ki ahau, ae
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
– Horoia he pouaka, horoia he papa
I wouldn’t wanna do it with anybody else
– E kore ahau e hiahia ki te mahi i te reira ki tetahi atu
Everything that’s heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
– Ko nga mea katoa e taumaha ana, ae, ka tirohia e au i te tatau
Kinda feel like I don’t need it anymore
– Kinda fe rite e kore ahau e hiahia ana i te reira ake
I got some bones of old skeletons
– I whiwhi ahau i ētahi wheua o ngā kōwae tawhito
From the old house at the dead end
– Mai i te whare tawhito i te mutunga mate
I got baggage but I’m moving in
– He putea taku engari kei te neke ahau ki roto
(If you want it, you want it)
– (Ki te hiahia koe, e hiahia ana koe)
(You know that you got it)
– (E mohio ana koe kei a koe)
To those thoughts in your head
– Ki aua whakaaro i roto i to mahunga
My hand, back pocket of your jeans
– Toku ringa, pocket hoki o koutou jeans
Linen sheets in our bed
– Nga papa rinena i roto i to maatau moenga
‘Cause home is when you’re with me, so
– ‘No te mea te kāinga ko te wa e koe ki ahau, na
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
– Horoia he pouaka, horoia he papa
I wouldn’t wanna do it with anybody else
– E kore ahau e hiahia ki te mahi i te reira ki tetahi atu
Everything that’s heavy, yeah, I check it at the door
– Ko nga mea katoa e taumaha ana, ae, ka tirohia e au i te tatau
Kinda feel like I don’t need it anymore
– Kinda fe rite e kore ahau e hiahia ana i te reira ake
I got some bones of old skeletons
– I whiwhi ahau i ētahi wheua o ngā kōwae tawhito
But fuck the old house at the dead end
– Engari fuck te whare tawhito i te mutunga mate
I got baggage but I’m moving in
– He putea taku engari kei te neke ahau ki roto
(I’m half [?])
– (Ko ahau te hawhe [?])
(Half moved out the closet)
– (Hawhe neke atu i te rūma)
(If you want it)
– (Ki te hiahia koe)
(You know that you got it)
– (E mohio ana koe kei a koe)
Clear out a drawer, clear out a shelf
– Horoia he pouaka, horoia he papa
I wouldn’t wanna do it with anybody else
– E kore ahau e hiahia ki te mahi i te reira ki tetahi atu
