Efa sambatra ve izy? (Rary Nofy)

Mitsiky ery ny tavany;
Mandinik'ilay havany!

Toa mirana fijery;
Fa feno fitia fanalam-piery!

Ravo ery ny fo-ny;
Toa mba faly ny fanahiny!

Fa misinda hono itony;
Itony mba tsiahiny!

Eh!sambatra ve izy?
Eo anilan'ny olon-tiany!
Ho tretrika ve izy?
Fa tojo tena niriany.

Toa miramiran-tava;
Fa tsy toy ny isan'andro!

Toa mitsiky lalan-dava;
Mandravaka ny tontolo andro!

Ny lasoko mitsiky;
Mandinika mankao!
Dia toa hitako eto aky;
Ny fahasambaranao!

Maharavo.A
