Mandalina, misaintsaina, ary mivavaka

Iainana tsara

1. Mahafinaritr(a) ahy ny mamaky
soratra masina,
satria manenik(a) ahy hatrany ny Fanahy,
vavolombelona am(i)n’izany.

[Chorus]

Raha mandalina aho,

misaintsaina am-bavaka,

ho ao ny Fanahy hanazava ahy

hoe, tena marin(a)izany.

2. Koa isan’andro aho dia hamaky
soratra masina,
hahay sy hahatadidy
ka hankatò ‘reo didy,
hanao ‘zay tian’ ny Tompo hataoko.

[Chorus]

Raha mandalina aho,

misaintsaina am-bavaka,

ho ao ny Fanahy hanazava ahy

hoe, tena marin(a)izany.
