Madagascan national anthem.

Malagasy lyrics


Ry Tanindraza nay malala ô
Ry Madagasikara soa.
Ny fitiavanay anaotsy miala,
Fa ho anao ho anao doria tokoa.

CHORUS:
Tahionao ry Zanahary
'Ty No sindrazanay ity
Hiadana sy ho finaritra
He sambatra tokoa izahay.

Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô
Irinay mba hanompoan'anao
Ny tena sy fo fanahy anananay 'zay sarobidy
Sy mendrika tokoa.

Chorus

Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô
Irinay mba hitahian' anao,
Ka Ilay Nahary 'zao ton tolo izao no
Fototra ijoroan, ny satanao.

Chorus

Ô Chère Terre de nos ancêtres
Ô belle Madagascar
Notre amour pour toi ne faillira pas
Et restera à ta cause éternellement fidèle

Benit, ô Créateur,
Cette île de nos ancêtres
