Kupu Tūpato
I tried my best to not let you go
– I whakamatau ahau i taku pai kia kaua koe e tukua atu
I don’t like the view
– Kaore au e pai ki te tirohanga
From halfway down
– Mai i te haurua o te huarahi
Just promise me that it won’t be slow
– Just fafau ahau e kore e waiho te reira puhoi
Will I feel the impact of the ground?
– Kael ahau i te pānga o te whenua?
I tried to be something that I’ll never be
– I whakamatau ahau kia waiho hei mea e kore rawa ahau e waiho
Why waste another precious hour?
– He aha te ururua i tetahi atu haora utu nui?
Why waste another precious ounce?
– He aha i ururua ai tētahi atu ōne utu nui?
I’d rather leave somewhat of a legacy
– He pai ake ki ahau te waiho i tētahi taonga tuku iho
Familiar
– He mea mōhio
A thought that’s so familiar
– He whakaaro e tino mōhio ana
Let me close my eyes with dignity
– Kia kati aku kanohi ki te mana
Let’s end it all, the world’s not far behind
– Kia mutu katoa, e kore te ao e tawhiti i muri
So what’s the point of staying?
– Na he aha te take o te noho?
It’s going up in flames, I know
– Kei te mura te ahi, e mohio ana ahau
Yes, I know, ooh
– Ae, e mohio ana ahau, ooh
Oh-oh-oh
– Ko te Oh-oh-oh
Hey-hey
– Hey-hey
Oh-oh
– E te atua
(Hey)
– (Hey)
Just hold my heartbeat close to you
– Kia mau tonu taku ngakau ki a koe
Remember how it always beats for you
– Kia mahara ki te āhua o te whakatangitangi i a koe i ngā wā katoa
I’m falling at the speed of light
– Kei te hinga ahau i te tere o te marama
I’m staring at your shrinking face, don’t cry
– E titiro ana ahau ki tō mata e whakaiti ana, kaua e tangi
You know my heart belongs to you
– E mohio ana koe no koe toku ngakau
One last time, say that you want me too
– Kotahi te wa whakamutunga, mea e hiahia ana koe ki ahau rawa
The only words that gave me life
– Ko nga kupu anake i homai ki ahau te ora
Now I’ll see you on the other side
– Na ka kite ahau ia koe i runga i te tahi atu taha
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Aue,aue, aue, aue
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Aue,aue, aue, aue
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Aue,aue, aue, aue
Oh-oh, oh-oh, oh-oh
– Aue,aue, aue, aue
Oh, mama, I’ll pray
– E mama, ka inoi ahau
I’m running away
– Kei te rere ahau
Oh-oh
– E te atua
Hey-hey (Oh, no)
– Hey-hey (Aue, kaore)
Oh-oh
– E te atua
Hey-hey
– Hey-hey
It’s a threat, not a promise (Mmm)
– He riri, ehara i te kupu whakaari (Mmm)
If you’re looking for rage (Mmm, oh)
– Ki te rapu koe mo te riri (Mmm, oh)
If you’re looking for ragin’
– Ki te rapu koe mo te ragin’
Quiet for days
– Kia marino mō ngā rā
Baby, you’re running away
– E te tamaiti, kei te rere koe
Ayy-yeah
– Ko te Ayy-yeah
It’s a threat, not a promise
– He riri, ehara i te kupu whakaari
It’s a threat, not a promise
– He riri, ehara i te kupu whakaari
Yeah-yeah
– Ae-ae
Ah-ha (Oh)
– Ah-ha (Oh)
Ah-ha (Oh)
– Ah-ha (Oh)
Ah-ha
– Ko te Ah-ha
Ah-ha
– Ko te Ah-ha
Mama, I’ll pray
– Mama, ka inoi ahau
Mama, I’ll pray
– Mama, ka inoi ahau
