Tanala Very Sampy (Jean-Joseph Rabearivelo)

Tanala very sampy

Raha sendra misoka ny volana ambony;
Raha takona mantsy, ka tsy mba hita intsony,
Ankaratra misento, ka tsy mba mitony,
Andringitra no ho avy hanony ny fony.

Irony domoina raha toa saraka ala,
Indrisy! misento. Indrisy! fa adala?
Manembona hono, fa lavi-malala -
Hanova no sisa, fa sampin-tanala.

Avia, ry vorona! Avia mba mikalo!
Alaotra nilaozana, tomany mpandalo;
Very tsiriry ka indrisy, mimalo? -
Vonoiko ny sento, tsy ekeko hampivalo.

Ory manjavona- Ankaratra izany?
Onena misento- Ankaratra ihany
Ny tsy anilan-tiana no tena tomany,
Ny lehilahy kosa tsy lavon'izany.

Ora-midona no mety hampahatsiahy,
Ozom-pitia mijoro hampanahy;
Toa aloka sisa, fa very fanahy? -
Tanala very sampy aho, ry lahy.

Samborina ve ny domohin'ny tena,
Samborina ho an-kafa, hanorisorena?
Indrisy! misento. Indrisy! mivena;
Izaho manan-kambo tsy resy resena.

Efa nisinda ilay kinta-nirina,
Efa niova fangirifiriana;
Orosan-tsy satry ny sento iniana?
Ovao ny famindra, ka 'ndeha miova tiana.
