Tsy vôly hiantsa (Babaique)

Masoandra marandraigny
Miboaka avy antigniana.
Manakàna zay malaigny,
Koa mahatatra anao magniagna
Anao fo sosotro, fa izy igny rôso fo.

Koa ‘fa marandraigny,
Raparapa tsisy andriagna,
Magnamboatra raha ilaigny,
Tsy teky lanja atao am-babiagna.
Zahay ‘fa loso, zahay ‘fa loso.

Tsy loso nagnaia fa nagnaraka i Mazava,
Nitariky lalagna, hagniagnana i Soalaza.

Balabala natopy fody, tsy ambelako koa tsy tody,
Jaomamory nanagan-day, tsy avy niany, avy amaray.

Refrains

Kakazo lava sômo mazaotron-tsiko,
Anao ti-hanonga izy mamikofiko.
Ndre tanitsika ‘ty tsy ialan’ny fahavalo
Zay malaigny fo mbo horeraka.
Fa zaho tsy vôly.


Namboarin-dRagnahary,
Niasainy mba hihira,
Zaho tsy vôly tsy amin’ny rariny,
I swear by my guitar,
I swear, zegny ankitigny.

Namboarin-dRagnahary,
Nataony mba hihira,
Zaho tsy vôly na marary,
Koa mba mety ndre mihilagna,
Zaho tsy voly, zaho tsy vôly.

Tsy vôly zaho hiantsa, na fitiavagna io na ambiance,
Lagnian’ny havagna, mitady ti-hampanjary,
Gitara io sotronay , andesinay mitenda.
Piraty tsy havanay, mitady zahay voakenda.
