Alina Mangina
Mahaleo Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Lina mamirifiry toa mangatsiaka ny aty
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
Rahoviana ianao vao mba ho avy'
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 wind is blowing strongly here, the sky is turning dark

One love forever
