VAO TENY ANTSASA-DALANY (Henri Ratsimbazafy)

            I
  Manomboka ny tolony,
  maina ery ny molony,
  valaka sy lanaka
  fa hita ho manan’anaka.

  kakerin’ito neniny,
  ny kibony afeniny,
  sadikatra ery
  no kivy koa satria...
  

                                II
                          Masiaka koa ny velona
                          k’indreo manelontselona,
                          mifosa ankatakonana
                          ireo mpiray fiangonana,

                          koa na dia heloka aza
                          ny hoe manala zaza
                          dia vitany tokoa
                          satria nahoana moa ?

       III
Nony lasa nody
nisotro fanafody
fanalana zaza
ka indro fa voalaza

fa hoe manavinavy
dia maty ’lay zazavavy,
fa tao dia tsy tafarina
kanefa izao no marina:


Ref.: Vao teny antsasadalany
         ’lay tiany sy malalany
         nataony ho reharehany
         dia tsy hita...’zay nalehany
