Kupu Tūpato
Lie with me
– Takoto ki ahau
By the fire
– Na te ahi
We can be
– Ka taea e tātou
Safe from the storms up high
– Haumaru mai i nga tupuhi ki runga
There’s a winter ahead
– He hotoke kei mua
If it’s cold and wet
– Ki te mea he makariri, he makuku
We’re always warm here, side by side
– He mahana tonu mātou i konei, i te taha
Come what may
– Haere mai he aha kia
Change of heart
– Te huringa o te ngakau
Who can say
– Ko wai e taea te mea
If you look in my eyes
– Ki te titiro koe ki oku kanohi
For the moon and the stars
– Mo te marama me nga whetu
Hearing strumming guitars
– Te whakarongo ki ngā kita whakatangi
Well, I admit that it’d be nice
– Well, whakaae ahau e te reira pai
I’ll be with you
– Ka noho ahau ki a koe
Until the spring runs by
– Tae noa ki te puna rere e
And the summer starts to burn
– A ka tīmata te raumati ki te tahu
I’ll be with you
– Ka noho ahau ki a koe
When the autumn wind returns
– Ka hoki mai te hau o te ngahuru
Don’t you want to say you’ll stay?
– Kaore koe e hiahia ki te korero ka noho koe?

If you look in my eyes
– Ki te titiro koe ki oku kanohi
For the truth in my heart
– Mo te pono i roto i toku ngakau
From a world far apart
– Mai i te ao tawhiti
You’ll realize where you can find
– Ka mohio koe ki te wahi e kitea ai e koe
Paradise, mmm
– Pararaiha, mmm
Paradise
– Pararaiha
