He oha nā Hiwa ka takoto i te mataaho
Hiwa, the wishing star’s gift lies at my window sill
Mō te tūpono i hē te ara i whāia
In case I chose the wrong path
E arohaina ana te ao e noho nei au
I love the life I’m living
Te kurī taringa pīkari, kei te rapu tonu i te mea ngaro
There’s my attentive dog but still I search for what is missing
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
I’ve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
I’ve yet to decide where to from here
Ko ngā hine rerehua, ka rerehu noa atu
The beautiful girls, they will fade
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
And the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Takoto kau i tō moenga, he whakakai i te taringa
I lay naked in your bed, wearing only earrings
Puta ana i te pō, kanikani tahi ai
We’d go out dancing at night
Ka mahuta te rā, kua tata mai te ahungarua
The sun will rise and we’ll grow older
Ko koe tonu tērā taku whakawairangi
You’re still the one I’m crazy for
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
I’ve been on this path for some time
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
I’ve yet to decide where to from here
He wā tōna ka rata koe ki puoro kē atu
There will come a time when your taste in music will change
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
But the world will continue to turn
E aua!
I don't know
Kohore
Blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kia pai mai rā
Oh, make it good
Kia pai mai rā
Oh, make it good
Taiāwhio ana i te ao hurihuri mō āke tonu e
Circling round and round forever
Atu i konei, he aha te aha
From here on out, wherever that leads to
Noho atu ki te hunga nā rātou koe i poipoi
Spend time with the people who nurtured you
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
The word will continue to turn
E aua!
I don’t know
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Maybe I’m just blurry-eyed
