Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Baby, baby, I’ve been asleep for far too long
– E te tamaiti, e te tamaiti, kua roa rawa taku moe
But when you wake me
– Engari ina whakaarahia ahau e koe
Say you love me and sing our song
– Ka mea e aroha ana koe ki ahau ka waiata i ta mātou waiata
I don’t wanna be useless
– Kāore au e hiahia kia kore e whai hua
I don’t wanna be stupid
– Kāore au e hiahia kia pōhēhē
I don’t wanna be dumb
– Kāore au e hiahia kia pōhēhē
I know you’ve been goin’ through it
– E mohio ana ahau kua haere koe i roto i te reira
Baby, I’ve been goin’ through it all alone
– E te tamaiti, kua haere ahau i roto i te reira katoa anake
It all comes crashin’ down (Down)
– Ko nga mea katoa e haere mai ana ki raro (Ki raro)
It all comes crashin’ down (Down)
– Ko nga mea katoa e haere mai ana ki raro (Ki raro)
I’ll be holdin’ onto you, holdin’ onto you
– Ka mau ahau ki a koe, ka mau ki a koe
I’ll be holdin’ onto you, holdin’ onto you
– Ka mau ahau ki a koe, ka mau ki a koe
When the world comes crashin’ down, I know where I’ll stand
– Ka hinga te ao, e mohio ana ahau ki te wahi e tu ai ahau
Right next to my baby, keep holding my hand
– I te taha tonu o taku tamaiti, kia mau ki toku ringa
‘Cause the enemy may try to conquer and divide
– ‘Na te mea ka ngana pea te hoariri ki te wikitoria me te wehewehe
Well, I’ll stay by your side every day and every night
– Well, ka noho ahau i tou taha i nga ra, me nga po
Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
– Ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh-ooh
Do you think we could ever fall out like everyone else does?
– E whakaaro ana koe ka taea e tātou te hinga atu, pērā i te katoa?
No-oh-oh-oh-oh-ooh, we won’t
– Kāore-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh-oh, kāore e taea e tātou
Just hold me tight and don’t you let go (Oh)
– Kia mau tonu ahau, kaua e tukua atu (Oh)
It all comes crashin’ down
– Ka hinga katoa
(Crashin’ down, crashin’ down, crashin’ down)
– (Crashin ‘ki raro, crashin’ ki raro, crashin ‘ ki raro)
It all comes crashin’ down
– Ka hinga katoa
(Crashin’ down, crashin’ down, crashin’ down)
– (Crashin ‘ki raro, crashin’ ki raro, crashin ‘ ki raro)
I’ll be holdin’ onto you, holdin’ onto you (Still holdin’)
– Ka mau ahau ki a koe, ka mau ki a koe (Kei te mau tonu)
I’ll be holdin’ onto you, holdin’ onto you (Still holdin’)
– Ka mau ahau ki a koe, ka mau ki a koe (Kei te mau tonu)
Still holdin’, yeah
– Kei te mau tonu, ae
I’m still
– Kei te noho tonu ahau
