Translation of the song lyrics Mata Kohore / Stoned at the Nail Salon - Lorde

Mata Kohore / Stoned at the Nail Salon (original)

He oha nā Hiwa ka takoto i te mataaho
Mō te tūpono i hē te ara i whāia
E arohaina ana te ao e noho nei au
Te kurī taringa pīkari, kei te rapu tonu i te mea ngaro
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
Ko ngā hine rerehua, ka rerehu noa atu
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua!
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Takoto kau i tō moenga, he whakakai i te taringa
Puta ana i te pō, kanikani tahi ai
Ka mahuta te rā, kua tata mai te ahungarua
Ko koe tonu tērā taku whakawairangi
Kua roa e takahia ana tēnei huarahi
Atu i konei, ki hea atu rā?
He wā tōna ka rata koe ki puoro kē atu
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua!
Kohore
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)
Kia pai mai rā
Kia pai mai rā
Taiāwhio ana i te ao hurihuri mō āke tonu e
Atu i konei, he aha te aha
Noho atu ki te hunga nā rātou koe i poipoi
Ko te ao hurihuri tēnei e huri ana
E aua!
Kohore ana pea aku mata
Kohore ana pea aku mata (mata)

(translation)

A greeting from Hiwa lay in the window
In case the route was taken incorrectly
I love the world I live in
The picky -eared dog is still searching for the secret
This path has been trodden for a long time
From here, where else?
The beautiful hines, however, fade away
This is a changing world
Don't!
I may not have faces
I may not have my face (screen)
Just lie in your bed, a ring in your ear
They go out at night and dance together
When the sun rises, the twilight is near
You are still my idiot
This path has been trodden for a long time
From here, where else?
There are times when you get to enjoy other music
This is a changing world
Don't!
Not at all
I may not have my face (screen)
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
It revolves around a changing world forever
From here on, what’s what
Stay with the people who nurtured you
This is a changing world
Don't!
I may not have faces
I may not have my face (screen)
