ELA NY ELA (Njila)

Ela ny ela fa tafaverina eto indray
Drodroky ny dia avy any lavitra any
Nisinda avokoa ny havizanana rehetra
Hafaliana tsy omby tratra no nameno izany fo
Haravoana sesilany
                  Maro ireo zava-tsarotra naleha e!
                  Nivadibadika teny ny tantara
                  Nody ventiny ny rano natsakaina
                  Koa tsy tsara ve raha mifaly androany
Nitetitety tany maromaro izahay
Namela hafatra tsy mba nety fantatrao
Nizarazara revy, hira tetsy sy teroa
Hafaliana tsy omby tratra no nameno izany fo
Haravoana sesilany
Nitetitety tany maromaro izahay
                  Nitsena anay tamin’ny fo madio daholo e!
                  Tsy nisy nihevitra anay ho olon-kafa
                  Izahay moa tsy niseho nihafahafa e!
                  Fa nitandro ny fihavanana
                  Nitsena anay tamin’ny fo madio daholo e!
