Topenga Ataata
Kupu Tūpato
Is this the real life? Is this just fantasy?
– Ko te ora tūturu tēnei? He wawata noa tenei?
Caught in a landslide, no escape from reality
– I mau ki te rerenga whenua, kaore he rerenga mai i te pono
Open your eyes, look up to the skies and see
– Whakatuwherahia ō kanohi, titiro ki te rangi, ka kite
I’m just a poor boy, I need no sympathy
– He tamaiti rawakore noa ahau, kaore au e hiahia ki te aroha
Because I’m easy come, easy go, little high, little low
– No te mea he ngāwari taku haere mai, he ngāwari taku haere, he iti te teitei, he iti te iti
Any way the wind blows doesn’t really matter to me, to me
– Ahakoa he aha te hau e pupuhi ana, ehara i te mea nui ki ahau, ki ahau
Mama, just killed a man
– Mama, tika patua te tangata
Put a gun against his head, pulled my trigger, now he’s dead
– I werohia e ia he pupuhi ki tona matenga, i pana i taku patu, inaianei kua mate ia
Mama, life had just begun
– Mama, kua tīmata noa te ora
But now I’ve gone and thrown it all away
– Engari inaianei kua haere ahau, kua maka atu katoa
Mama, ooh, didn’t mean to make you cry
– Mama, ooh, kihai i te tikanga ki te hanga tangi koe
If I’m not back again this time tomorrow
– Ki te kore ahau e hoki mai ano i tenei wa apopo
Carry on, carry on as if nothing really matters
– Haere tonu, haere tonu me te mea kaore he mea nui
Too late, my time has come
– Kua roa rawa, kua tae mai taku wā
Sends shivers down my spine, body’s aching all the time
– Ka tuku i ngā wiri ki raro i taku tuara, ka mamae tonu te tinana
Goodbye, everybody, I’ve got to go
– Kia ora, e te katoa, me haere ahau
Gotta leave you all behind and face the truth
– Me waiho katoa koe ki muri ka anga atu ki te pono
Mama, ooh (Any way the wind blows)
– Mama, ooh (Tetahi ara pupuhi te hau)
I don’t wanna die
– Kāore au e hiahia ana kia mate
I sometimes wish I’d never been born at all
– I ētahi wā e hiahia ana ahau kia kaua rawa ahau e whānau mai
I see a little silhouetto of a man
– Ka kite ahau i tētahi āhua iti o te tangata
Scaramouche, Scaramouche, will you do the Fandango?
– Scaramouche, Scaramouche, ka mahi koe i te Fandango?
Thunderbolt and lightning, very, very frightening me
– He uira, he uira, he tino whakamataku ki ahau
(Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico (Oh-oh-oh-oh)
– (Galileo) Galileo, (Galileo) Galileo, Galileo Figaro magnifico (Oh-oh-oh-oh)Ko Te mea Nui, Ko Te Mea Nui, Ko Te Mea Nui, Ko Te Mea Nui.
But I’m just a poor boy, nobody loves me
– Engari he tamaiti rawakore noa iho ahau, kāore he tangata e aroha ana ki ahau
He’s just a poor boy from a poor family
– He tamaiti rawakore noa iho ia no te whānau rawakore
Spare him his life from this monstrosity
– Whakaorangia ia i tona ora i tenei whakamataku
Easy come, easy go, will you let me go?
– Easy haere mai, easy haere, ka tukua e koe ahau haere?
Bismillah, no, we will not let you go
– Bismillah, kahore, e kore matou e tuku i a koe kia haere
(Let him go) Bismillah, we will not let you go
– (Tukua ia kia haere) Bismillah, e kore matou e tukua koe kia haere
(Let him go) Bismillah, we will not let you go
– (Tukua ia kia haere) Bismillah, e kore matou e tukua koe kia haere
(Let me go) Will not let you go
– (Let me go) E kore e tukua koe kia haere
(Let me go) Will not let you go
– (Let me go) E kore e tukua koe kia haere
(Never, never, never, never let me go) Ah
– (Kaua rawa, kaua rawa, kaua rawa e tukua ahau kia haere) Ah
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
– Kāore, kāore, kāore, kāore, kāore, kāore, kāore
(Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, let me go
– (Oh, mamma mia, mamma mia) Mamma mia, tukua ahau kia haere
Beelzebub has a devil put aside for me, for me, for me
– Kua waiho e peerehepura he rewera moku, moku, moku
So you think you can stone me and spit in my eye?
– Na ka whakaaro koe ka taea e koe te kohatu i ahau, ka tuwha ki toku kanohi?
So you think you can love me and leave me to die?
– Na ka whakaaro koe ka taea e koe te aroha ki ahau, ka waiho ahau kia mate?
Oh, baby, can’t do this to me, baby
– Aue, e te tamaiti, e kore e taea e tenei ki ahau, e te tamaiti
Just gotta get out, just gotta get right outta here
– Me puta noa, me puta noa i konei
(Ooh)
– (Ooh)
(Ooh, yeah, ooh, yeah)
– (Aue, ae, aue, ae)
Nothing really matters, anyone can see
– Kaore he mea tino nui, ka taea e tetahi te kite
Nothing really matters
– Kāore he mea nui
Nothing really matters to me
– Kāore he mea nui ki ahau
Any way the wind blows
– Tetahi ara pupuhi te hau
