Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Slow down, you crazy child
– Kia puhoi, e te tamaiti haurangi
You’re so ambitious for a juvenile
– He tino wawata koe mō tētahi rangatahi
But then if you’re so smart
– Engari, ki te mea he tino mohio koe
Tell me why are you still so afraid? Mm
– Korero mai ki ahau he aha koe i mataku tonu ai? Ko te Mm
Where’s the fire, what’s the hurry about?
– Kei hea te ahi, he aha te tere?
You’d better cool it off before you burn it out
– Ka pai ake te whakamahana i a koe i mua i to tahunga
You’ve got so much to do
– He nui rawa te mahi a koe
And only so many hours in a day, hey
– A he maha noa nga haora i te ra, hei
But you know that when the truth is told
– Engari e mohio ana koe ka korerotia te pono
That you can get what you want or you can just get old
– Ka taea e koe te tiki i nga mea e hiahia ana koe ka taea ranei e koe te tawhito
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
– Ka tīmata koe i mua i to haerenga ki waenganui, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
– Ka mōhio koe Kei Te tatari a Vienna ki a koe?
Slow down, you’re doin’ fine
– Kia puhoi, kei te pai koe
You can’t be everything you wanna be before your time
– Kaore e taea e koe nga mea katoa e hiahia ana koe i mua i to wa
Although it’s so romantic on the borderline tonight, tonight
– Ahakoa he tino aroha i te rohe i tēnei pō, i tēnei pō
Too bad, but it’s the life you lead
– He kino rawa, engari ko te oranga e arahina ana e koe
You’re so ahead of yourself, that you forgot what you need
– Kei mua koe i a koe, kua wareware koe ki nga mea e hiahiatia ana e koe
Though you can see when you’re wrong
– Ahakoa ka taea e koe te kite i te wa e he ana koe
You know you can’t always see when you’re right
– E mohio ana koe kaore e taea e koe te kite i nga wa katoa ka tika koe
You’re right
– Kei te tika koe
You’ve got your passion, you’ve got your pride
– Kei a koe tō hiahia, kei a koe tō whakapehapeha
But don’t you know that only fools are satisfied?
– Engari kaore koe e mohio ko nga wairangi anake e makona ana?
Dream on, but don’t imagine they’ll all come true, ooh
– Kia ora, engari kaua e whakaaro ka tutuki katoa, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
– Ka mōhio koe Kei Te tatari a Vienna ki a koe?
Slow down, you crazy child
– Kia puhoi, e te tamaiti haurangi
And take the phone off the hook and disappear for a while
– Ka tangohia te waea i te haki ka ngaro mō tētahi wā
It’s all right, you can afford to lose a day or two, ooh
– He pai, ka taea e koe te ngaro i te ra kotahi, e rua ranei, ooh
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
– Ka mōhio koe Kei Te tatari a Vienna ki a koe?
And you know that when the truth is told
– A e mohio ana koe ka korerotia te pono
That you can get what you want or you could just get old
– Ka taea e koe te tiki i nga mea e hiahia ana koe ka taea ranei e koe te tawhito
You’re gonna kick off before you even get halfway through, ooh
– Ka tīmata koe i mua i to haerenga ki waenganui, ooh
Why don’t you realize Vienna waits for you?
– He aha e Kore Ai Koe E mohio Kei Te tatari A Vienna ki a koe?
When will you realize Vienna waits for you?
– Ka mōhio koe Kei Te tatari a Vienna ki a koe?
