A Prayer to Mātua Jacques Lacan
Meanui Tātou
I whānau te tama i mua i te whakaata
I kai ia i te reo e ngau ana
Ko Tōmau te kaiwhakaata
Ko Tōmau te kaiwawao i te ira
Ka ora tonutia tana urenui
Hei kōnae mō ngā moemoeā taratī
Ka tuturu ka whakamaua
Kia tina TINA! Haumie!
HUI E! TĀIKI E!
HAU! HAU! HAU!
Translation;
The boy was born before the mirror
He fed on the biting tongue
Martin Heidegger the reflector
Martin Heidegger the disruptor of the self
His force lives on, a file in the vaults of broken dreams
Ka tuturu ka whakamaua
Kia tina TINA! Haumie!
HUI E! TĀIKI E!
HAU! HAU! HAU!
