Alina Mangina
Mahaleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Alina tena mangina mahatsiaro anao mbola tia
Misy fotoana te hiantso aho
Hiantso ny anaranao
Nefa injay toa miseho
Ilay endrikao tena tia
Rahoviana indray vao mba hihaona
Zaho aty sasatra foana
Sasatra miandriandry anao
Rehefa tonga any ianao
Dia manorata aty
Lazao fa tsy manadino'zany nalavitra aty
Misy fotoana te hiantso aho
Hiantso ny anaranao
Nefa injay toa miseho
Ilay endrikao tena tia Rahoviana indray...
Na mbola ho ela aza izany
Hahitako anao eto indray'
Zao 'aty dia manantena
Fa tsisyvery ilay fitia
Fitiavana iray ho anao sy ho ahy
No efa nomaniko anao
Fitiavana iray mandrakizay
No efa nomaniko an-dry
Rahoviana indray...
The lyrics of Mahaleo's song Alina Mangina depict a love story of someone who is deeply in love with a person named Alina. The first two lines of the song talk about how the singer, Lina, is always thinking about Alina and how much she loves her. The next lines describe the longing to call Alina and hear her name, which suggests that the singer has strong feelings for her. The lines "Nefa injay toa miseho/ Ilay endrikao tena tia" roughly translate to "But sometimes, it feels like you don't understand my true feelings."
The next stanza is a question - "Rahoviana indray vao mba hihaona/ Rahoviana ianao vao mba ho avy'?" - which means "When will we meet again? When will you come back?" It implies that the singer and Alina are separated, and the singer misses her dearly. The following lines talk about how the singer thinks about Alina all the time, and when she finally comes back, the singer will write her a letter to express her feelings.
The chorus repeats the lines "Misy fotoana te hiantso aho/ Hiantso ny anaranao/ Nefa injay toa miseho/ Ilay endrikao tena tia/ Rahoviana indray..." several times, which means "There is a time when I will call out your name, but sometimes it feels like you don't understand my true feelings. When will we meet again?"
Overall, the song Alina Mangina is a poetic and emotional portrayal of unrequited love and the longing that comes with it. The lyrics are simple yet powerful, and the melody complements the message beautifully.

Lina mamirifiry toa mangatsiaka ny aty
The wind is blowing strongly here, the sky is turning dark

But that love is not certain
Fitiavana iray ho anao sy ho ahy
One love for, you and me
No efa nomaniko anao
Which I have already given you
Fitiavana iray mandrakizay
One love forever
No efa nomaniko an-dry
Which I have already given to you
Rahoviana indray...
When will you need me again?
