Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
You sent me a picture of a cat
– I tukuna mai e koe he pikitia o te ngeru ki ahau
On the rooftop where we met
– I runga i te tuanui i tutaki ai mātou
Met someone, not us
– I tutaki ki tētahi, ehara i a mātou
Someone that’s been hurtin’
– Ko tētahi i whara
I’ve been sick of loneliness
– Kua ngenge ahau i te mokemoke
And I know you feel the same
– A e mohio ana ahau eel koe i te taua
I wrote a text, I hit ‘send’
– I tuhituhi ahau i tētahi kuputuhi, i patu ahau i te’tonoa’
“Can I come over, be your special friend?”
– “Ka taea e au te haere mai, hei hoa motuhake?”
I’m over being alone, alone
– Kua mutu taku noho mokemoke, mokemoke
I long to feel you next to me
– E hiahia ana ahau ki teel i a koe i te taha o ahau
And I’m getting restless, breathless
– A kei te noho pōuri ahau, e manawa pōuri ana
X-rated are the things in my head
– X-rated ko nga mea i roto i toku mahunga
Pretty soon you’ll be startin’ to beg
– Ka tīmata koe ki te tono
Baby, skip the foreplay
– Pēpi, tīpoka i te foreplay
‘Cause I can’t wait to know you like this
– ‘No te mea e kore e taea e ahau te tatari ki te mohio ki a koutou rite tenei
And at the end, would you stay?
– A i te mutunga, ka noho koe?
I need a hand to rid the loneliness
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te ringa ki te whakakore i te mokemoke
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
Why won’t you hit my phone?
– He aha koe e kore ai e patu i taku waea?
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
We left two sets of prints in your bed
– I waiho e mātou e rua ngā huinga tā i roto i tō moenga
‘Til the waves come up, wash away the evidence
– ‘Kia tae mai ra ano nga ngaru, horoia atu nga taunakitanga
This kind of thing’s never planned
– Kāore tēnei momo mea i whakamaherehia
But it feels good, so what if you’re an older man?
– Engari he pai te ahua, na te mea mehemea he tangata pakeke koe?
‘Cause age ain’t nothing but a number
– ‘Na te mea ehara te pakeke i te mea noa iho i te tau
So what if I’m a little younger?
– Na he aha te mea he iti ake ahau?
Long as we keep it undercover
– I te wā e huna ana e tātou
Forget it all tomorrow, oh oh
– Wareware katoa apopo, oh oh
I’m over being alone, alone
– Kua mutu taku noho mokemoke, mokemoke
I long to feel you next to me
– E hiahia ana ahau ki teel i a koe i te taha o ahau
And I’m getting restless, breathless
– A kei te noho pōuri ahau, e manawa pōuri ana
X-rated are the things in my head
– X-rated ko nga mea i roto i toku mahunga
Pretty soon you’ll be startin’ to beg
– Ka tīmata koe ki te tono
Baby, skip the foreplay
– Pēpi, tīpoka i te foreplay
‘Cause I can’t wait to know you like this
– ‘No te mea e kore e taea e ahau te tatari ki te mohio ki a koutou rite tenei
And at the end, would you stay?
– A i te mutunga, ka noho koe?
I need a hand to rid the loneliness
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te ringa ki te whakakore i te mokemoke
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
Why won’t you hit my phone?
– He aha koe e kore ai e patu i taku waea?
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
Oh, I’m over being alone
– Aue, kua mutu taku noho mokemoke
Why won’t you hit my phone?
– He aha koe e kore ai e patu i taku waea?
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
City lights fade, but I’m wide awake
– Ka ngaro ngā rama o te taone, engari e mataara ana ahau
I can’t tell if it’s a mistake
– Kaore e taea e au te korero mena he hapa
‘Cause you don’t see me like this
– ‘No te mea e kore koe e kite i ahau rite tenei
And I don’t know you like that
– A kaore au e mohio ki a koe penei
You’re a big tough corporate man
– He tangata nui koe, he tangata pakeke
And you say that I’m a punk little fucker
– A ka mea koe he tangata pōhēhē ahau
You never liked the food in NYC
– Kāre koe i pai ki te kai i NEW YORK
So why won’t you taste me?
– Na he aha koe e kore ai e whakamatau i ahau?
Baby, skip the foreplay
– Pēpi, tīpoka i te foreplay
‘Cause I can’t wait to know you like this
– ‘No te mea e kore e taea e ahau te tatari ki te mohio ki a koutou rite tenei
And at the end, would you stay?
– A i te mutunga, ka noho koe?
I need a hand to rid the loneliness
– E hiahia ana ahau ki te ringa ki te whakakore i te mokemoke
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
Why won’t you hit my phone?
– He aha koe e kore ai e patu i taku waea?
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
So get low with me, low with me
– Na haere ki raro ki ahau, ki raro ki ahau
Gotta get some low, baby
– Me whai i te iti, e te tamaiti
Down at the bottom
– Ki raro i te raro
Need to get to the bottom of this, oh
– Me ki te tiki ki te raro o tenei, oh
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
I don’t wanna spend another night alone, oh-oh
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō, oh-oh
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
I don’t wanna spend another night alone
– Kāore au e hiahia ana ki te noho mokemoke i tētahi atu pō
