Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Got out of my bed today
– I puta mai i taku moenga i tenei ra
The sunlight was hitting my face
– I pa te ra ki toku mata
And two little birds came and sat on the edge
– Na ka haere mai e rua manu iti ka noho i runga i te mata
And they asked if I’m doin’ okay
– A ka ui rātau mēnā kei te pai taku mahi
And we talked for a while, sat for a while
– A ka kōrero mātou mō tētahi wā, ka noho mō tētahi wā
And one of them asked me if there’s anything I would change
– A ka ui mai tētahi o rātau ki ahau mēnā he mea ka huri ahau
And I didn’t know what to say
– A kihai ahau i mohio ki te mea ki te mea
But I, I would dance all night
– Engari, ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Not care about the heartache in my life
– Kaua e whakaaro ki te mamae o te ngakau i roto i toku ora
Oh, and I would not obsess
– Aue, a e kore ahau e obsess
Over all the little things I don’t regret
– I runga i nga mea iti katoa kaore au e pouri
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Oh, and I-I-I
– Aue, me te I-I-I
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Dance all night
– Kanikani i te pō katoa
I wouldn’t be so in my head
– E kore ahau e pera i roto i toku mahunga
Three words every chance that I get
– E toru nga kupu nga tupono e whiwhi ahau
Be spontaneous and better with trust
– Kia tūpato me te pai ki te whakawhirinaki
And say things that I should’ve said
– A ka mea i nga mea e kia kua mea ahau
I would let my feelings lead me
– Ka tukua e ahau aku whakaaro kia arahi i ahau
Let you be the one to hold me now
– Kia waiho koe hei tangata hei pupuri i ahau inaianei
And maybe this time you could stay
– A pea i tenei wa ka taea e koe te noho
‘Cause I, I would dance all night
– ‘No te mea, ka kanikani ahau i te po katoa
Not care about the heartache in my life
– Kaua e whakaaro ki te mamae o te ngakau i roto i toku ora
Oh, and I would not obsess
– Aue, a e kore ahau e obsess
Over all the little things I don’t regret
– I runga i nga mea iti katoa kaore au e pouri
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Oh, and I-I-I
– Aue, me te I-I-I
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Dance all night, I’ll be there for you tomorrow
– Kanikani i te pō katoa, ka noho au ki reira mō koeomōpō
You can dry your eyes, we’ll laugh away the sorrow
– Ka taea e koe te whakamaroke i o kanohi, ka kata atu tatou i te pouri
When the morning comes, just promise me you’ll stay forever young
– Ka tae mai te ata, whakaaria mai ki ahau ka noho tonu koe ki te taitamariki
Forever young
– He tamariki tonu
I, I would dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Not care about the heartache in my life
– Kaua e whakaaro ki te mamae o te ngakau i roto i toku ora
Oh, and I would not obsess
– Aue, a e kore ahau e obsess
Over all the little things I don’t regret
– I runga i nga mea iti katoa kaore au e pouri
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Oh, and I-I-I
– Aue, me te I-I-I
I’d dance all night
– Ka kanikani ahau i te pō katoa
Ni-i-ight
– Ko te Ni-i-ight
Dance all night
– Kanikani i te pō katoa
