Übersetzung
Passage between obstacles requires
a rebirth through salt water
Where the waves dash against
At the base of cliffs resound
Where floating debris hides an ocean
pierced with black esoteric life
At the sea where hidden inherited
fears must be slaughtered
Present yourself, Maka’ukiu! (Maka’ukiu = the sharp)
I am not surprised in the manner in
which males reach their shore
For you two conduct yourselves analytically,
I rely on my intuition
Honoring The-brest-bringing-succor-to-the-essence-of-life
