Hagnitrinao tsy hay fafagna,
Tsy maintsy ahitagna fagnazavagna.
Anao mikaiky alain’ny Kalo,
Kaikinao mikaiky malo.
Kiaka ny andra, kiaka vandy,
Tsy ahita anao io tsary tanty.
Tery zaho maletry anao,
Fa miala anao tsy saky atao.
Taognotsika fankalavitry,
Tariminakahy miravidravitry.
Zaho magnontany tany himboagna,
Anao mitaraigny tara fodiagna.
Lalagna himboaky efa tsy voavezigny,
Vadiagna aminao tsy miniminegny.
Fitiavako anao ‘ty misy koragniny.
Salakady efa hay fa ho hisy farany.
Tsy maintsy ho avy ny amaray,
Mianara tsara mba hahay.
K’aza ataonao zaho malaigny.
F’aty ‘fa tsisy ny antinaigny.
Izy ity moa raha nilaigny,
Ke tsisy ny nanignenagna.
Na tsy nitavandraigny,
Igny raha niaignana.
Tantaratsika aroe igny,
Tsy ampody magnindroe,
Fa hadalagna,
Fitiavagna hadalagna.
Fitiavagna oh oh, hadalagna.
