ILAY HIRA ('Lay fo hafa kely)

Nisy hira nolokoiko, hokaloiko ho anao
saingy indrisy, fa sompatry ny tany
k’ilay feony aza, zary lasana nandao
fa akon’ny taraina konaina-tomany

Niangaliako mantsy izy izay
nolaroiko sento, aingam-po
nefa indrisy, tsy fantatra fa may
lavenona sisa, tavela an-doha

ireo sentontsika, kiakin’ny tia
izay nandrakotra fahanginana
no zary mozika nohenoina satria
tsisy feo nivoaka…fa gina

Iny ilay hira, izay nohiraintsika
Tanaty fahanginana, samy tia
Nokoboniko an-tratra, tsisy nahay nandika
Sompatry ny tany fa nalia
