Kupu Tūpato
To the tempo of your uptight
– Ki te tere o tō whakaoho
Is the flicker of a street light
– Ko te whiti o te marama o te huarahi
You know this moment, don’t ya
– E mohio ana koe ki tenei wa, kaua e ya
And time is strangely calm now
– A he tino marino te wā ināianei
‘Cause everybody’s gone it’s
– ‘No te mea kua haere katoa te reira
Just you and your anger
– Ko koe anake me tō riri
Oh, golden boy, don’t act like you were kind
– E te tama koura, kaua e mahi me te mea he atawhai koe
You were mine but you were awful every time
– Ko koe taku engari he kino koe i nga wa katoa
So don’t tell them what you told me
– Na kaua e korerotia ki a ratou nga mea i korerotia mai e koe ki ahau
Don’t hold me like you know me
– Kaua e mau ki ahau me te mea e mohio ana koe ki ahau
I would rather burn forever
– He pai ake ki ahau te tahu tonu
But you should know that I died slow
– Engari me mōhio koe he puhoi taku matenga
Running through the halls of your haunted home
– E rere ana i roto i nga whare o to whare haunted
And the toughest part is that we both know
– A ko te wahi uaua ko e matau ana tatou e rua
What happened to you
– He aha te mea i pa ki a koe
Why you’re out on your own
– He aha koe i runga i tou ake
Merry Christmas, please don’t call
– Kia hari Te Kirihimete, kaua e karanga
You really left me on the line, kid
– I tino whakarerea ahau e koe i runga i te rārangi, e tama
Holding all your baggage
– Te pupuri i to putea katoa
You know I’m not your father
– E mohio ana koe ehara ahau i to papa
Who says welcome to your uptight
– Ko wai e mea nau mai ki tou uptight
While it flickers like a street light
– I a ia e whiti ana ano he rama huarahi
He flickers through your damage
– E ngingio ana ia i roto i tou kino
Oh, golden boy, you shined a light on your home
– Aue, e te tamaiti koura, i whiti koe i te marama ki tou whare
And at your best you were magic, I was sold
– A, i te mea pai rawa atu, he makutu koe, i hokona ahau
But don’t tell ’em what you told me
– Engari kaua e korerotia mai ki a rātou te mea i korerotia mai e koe ki ahau
Don’t even tell ’em that you know me
– Kaua rawa e korero ki a ratou e mohio ana koe ki ahau
I would rather hurt forever
– He pai ake ki ahau te mamae mo ake tonu atu
But you should know that I died slow
– Engari me mōhio koe he puhoi taku matenga
Running through the halls of your haunted home
– E rere ana i roto i nga whare o to whare haunted
And the toughest part is that we both know
– A ko te wahi uaua ko e matau ana tatou e rua
What happened to you
– He aha te mea i pa ki a koe
Why you’re out on your own
– He aha koe i runga i tou ake
Merry Christmas, please don’t call
– Kia hari Te Kirihimete, kaua e karanga
One ticket out of your heavy gaze
– Kotahi tīkiti i roto i to koutou titiro taimaha
I want one ticket off of your carousel
– E hiahia ana ahau ki tētahi tīkiti i tō karuselu
I want one ticket out of your heavy gaze
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te tīkiti kotahi i roto i to koutou titiro taimaha
I want one ticket off of your carousel
– E hiahia ana ahau ki tētahi tīkiti i tō karuselu
But you should know that I died slow
– Engari me mōhio koe he puhoi taku matenga
Running through the halls of your haunted home
– E rere ana i roto i nga whare o to whare haunted
And the toughest part is that we both know
– A ko te wahi uaua ko e matau ana tatou e rua
What happened to you
– He aha te mea i pa ki a koe
Why you’re out on your own
– He aha koe i runga i tou ake
Merry Christmas, please don’t call
– Kia hari Te Kirihimete, kaua e karanga
Merry Christmas, I’m not yours at all
– Kia hari Te Kirihimete, ehara au i a koe
Merry Christmas, please don’t call me
– Kia hari Te Kirihimete, kaua e karanga mai ki ahau
Please don’t call me
– Tena koa kaua e karanga mai ki ahau
Please don’t call me
– Tena koa kaua e karanga mai ki ahau
Please don’t call me
– Tena koa kaua e karanga mai ki ahau
