Afim-pitiavana (Santatry Ny Omaly)

Ilay faniriana efa nokoboniko hatr'izay
Toreo nanonitra, toa zary lasa fery anaty
Alahelo mba midongy hitserana r'ilay!
Miandrandra ilay tsikitsikinao hiatsampy
...
Ny foko babo, mientanentana raha iny ka ...
Te hitosy, hamihina tsy misy andraso andraso
Ny eritreritro! Aoka re tsy ho diso raha ...
Iny izaho sy ianao mifampibanjina imaso
...
Saingy aleoko tsy mamboraka ny marina
Ho afeniko ho ahy irery ao am-parahatoko ao
Tsy hisisika hitalaho, ekeko na dia manina
Fa mino kosa hoe:
Tsy maintsy mety mbola ho tsapanao!
