The lyrics of the National Anthem of Madagascar
Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô
Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô!
Ry Madagasikara soa.
Ny Fitiavanay anao tsy miala,
Fa ho anao, ho anao doria tokoa.
Tahionao ry Zanahary
‘Ty Nosindrazanay 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.
Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô!
Irinay mba hitahian’anao,
Ka Ilay Nahary ‘zao tontolo izao
No fototra ijoroan’ny satanao.
Tahionao ry Zanahary
‘Ty Nosindrazanay ity
Hiadana sy ho finaritra
He! Sambatra tokoa izahay.
Tahionao ry Zanahary
‘Ty Nosindrazanay ity
Hiadana sy ho finaritra
He! Sambatra tokoa izahay.
