Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Your morning eyes, I could stare like watching stars
– Ko ō kanohi o te ata, ka taea e au te titiro pēnei i te mātakitaki whetū
I could walk you by, and I’ll tell without a thought
– Ka taea e ahau te haere i a koe, a ka korero ahau, kahore he whakaaro
You’d be mine, would you mind if I took your hand tonight?
– Ka waiho koe hei aku, ka whakaaro koe mēnā ka mau ahau ki tōu ringa i tēnei pō?
Know you’re all that I want this life
– E mōhio ana koe ko koe anake taku e hiahia ana ki tēnei oranga
I’ll imagine we fell in love
– Ka whakaaro ahau i hinga matou i roto i te aroha
I’ll nap under moonlight skies with you
– Ka moe ahau i raro i te rangi marama ki a koe
I think I’ll picture us, you with the waves
– Ki taku whakaaro ka whakaahua ahau i a mātou, ko koe me ngā ngaru
The ocean’s colors on your face
– Ko ngā tae o te moana i runga i tō mata
I’ll leave my heart with your air
– Ka waiho e ahau toku ngakau ki tou rangi
So let me fly with you
– Na kia rere ahau ki a koe
Will you be forever with me?
– Ka noho tonu koe ki ahau?
My love will always stay by you
– Ka noho tonu taku aroha ki a koe
I’ll keep it safe, so don’t you worry a thing, I’ll tell you I love you more
– Ka tiakina e au, na kaua koe e manukanuka ki tetahi mea, ka kii atu ahau ki a koe e aroha ana ahau ki a koe ake
It’s stuck with you forever, so promise you won’t let it go
– Kei te piri tonu ki a koe ake ake, na te kupu whakaari kaore koe e tuku kia haere
I’ll trust the universe will always bring me to you
– Ka whakawhirinaki ahau ki te ao ka kawe mai i ahau ki a koe
I’ll imagine we fell in love
– Ka whakaaro ahau i hinga matou i roto i te aroha
I’ll nap under moonlight skies with you
– Ka moe ahau i raro i te rangi marama ki a koe
I think I’ll picture us, you with the waves
– Ki taku whakaaro ka whakaahua ahau i a mātou, ko koe me ngā ngaru
The ocean’s colors on your face
– Ko ngā tae o te moana i runga i tō mata
I’ll leave my heart with your air
– Ka waiho e ahau toku ngakau ki tou rangi
So let me fly with you
– Na kia rere ahau ki a koe
Will you be forever with me?
– Ka noho tonu koe ki ahau?
