Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
It’s been a nice life, money and the bright lights
– He ora pai, he moni me nga rama kanapa
Ain’t as bad as people describe
– Ehara i te mea kino e whakaahuatia ana e te tangata
I’ve been a nice guy, people I’ve done right by
– He tangata pai ahau, he tangata kua tika taku mahi
Flipped on me, but, girl, it’s alright
– I huri ki ahau, engari, e te kotiro, he pai
It’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright, it’s alright
– He pai, he pai, he pai, he pai
Not suprised by nothing, I just take it in stride
– E kore e miharo ki tetahi mea, ka tangohia e ahau i te reira i roto i te hikoi
On the bright side, everyone on my side
– I runga i te taha kanapa, katoa i runga i toku taha
They still got they love and they pride, ayy
– Kei te aroha tonu rātau, ā, e whakapehapeha ana rātau, e ayy
Let’s get high, high, let’s go sci-fi
– Kia tiketike, kia tiketike, kia haere sci-fi
I’m tryna be out of my mind
– Ko tryna ahau i roto i toku hinengaro
You workin’ 9-5, what’s the Wi-Fi?
– E mahi ana koe i te 9-5, he aha te Wi-fi?
I’ma try and buy you some time, some time
– Ka ngana ahau ki te hoko i a koe i etahi wa, i etahi wa
I’ll be your lifeline, just get offline
– Ka waiho ahau tou lifeline, tika tiki tuimotu
Leave your phone and look at my eyes
– Waiho to waea me te titiro ki oku kanohi
Boy, does time fly, it was just nighttime
– E tama, e rere ana te wā, he pō noa iho
Now the sun is about to rise and I
– Na kei te ara ake te ra a ko ahau
Don’t even know how it feels
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki tona ahua
Don’t even know how it feels
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki tona ahua
Don’t even know how it feels to be in love with me for real
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki te ahua o te aroha ki ahau mo te pono
Don’t even know how it feels
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki tona ahua
Can’t even imagine how it feels to be in love with me for real
– Kaore e taea te whakaaro me pehea te aroha ki ahau mo te pono
When I disappear for days
– Ka ngaro ahau mō ngā rā
You convince yourself you’re to blame
– Ka whakaponohia e koe ko koe te take
When we don’t see each other for months on end and you pretend it’s okay
– Ki te kore tātou e kite i a tātou anō mō ngā marama ā ka whakaaro koe he pai
Don’t even know how it feels
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki tona ahua
Can’t even imagine how it feels to keep it real with me
– Kāore e taea te whakaaro he pēhea te āhua o te pupuri i te mea tūturu ki ahau
While I still, still got issues I gotta deal with
– Ahakoa kei a au tonu, kei a au tonu nga take me aro atu ahau
Don’t even know how you’re feelin’
– Kaua rawa e mohio ki te ahua o to ahua
This is not conventional, this is not traditional, this is unprofessional
– Ehara tēnei i te mea noa iho, ehara tēnei i te mea tuku iho, ehara tēnei i te mea ngaio
But these are my confessions, though, ayy
– Engari ko aku whaki enei, ahakoa, ayy
I’ll let you know how I’m feelin’
– Ka whakamōhio atu ahau ki a koe me pēhea taku āhua
I’ll let you know, I’ll let you know
– Ka whakamōhio atu ahau ki a koe, ka whakamōhio atu ahau ki a koe
I’ll let you know how I’m feelin’ for real
– Ka whakamōhio atu ahau ki a koe me pēhea taku āhua tūturu
