Rafahafahana
Mahaleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
ary tena faniriako
raha ialahy, no mba namana,
Mety handray, ireto,
Ireto tanana
Indrisy, indrisy,
Toa mitady ny tsy misy
Toa mandà, tsy mety,
Mety ho namana...
Teto aho, dia nipitrapitra,
Sy nitsiriritra,
Ny sty natao ho ahy
Nefa, fitia tsy mety ritra,
Mikiry sy maditra,
Natokako an'ialahy...
Indraindray, indraindray,
Variana aho mijery an'ialahy
Manantona, ireo zay tsy mitady,
Fa miavona, anay,
Zay mandadilady...
Inona, inona,
No anaovan'ialahy ahy tsinontsinona,
Manavaka trano hidirana,
Sa ve ialahy, mifidy,
Fihodirana...
Zahay ety,
Mijinja ny mafaitra,
Mitaty ny tsy laitra,
Tsy afaka manoatra
Iandrasana, hitondra takaitra,
Zay ngamba ialahy vao taitra,
Sao dia mba tara loatra...
Potika, potika,
Fo sy saina rotidrotika,
Miantomboka, ny faharavana
Ka eo ilay, ry, ry figadrana.
Foiko, foiko,
Raha ny foko no henoiko
Hanome ny Aiko,
Mba ho sorona,
Ka ny fanahiko, hitovy
Amin'ny vorona...
Aoka aho,
Mba ho tompon-tsafidy,
Mba tsy havela hihidy,
Ty vavako miteny
Ampy ho ahy izay,
Nitondra mangidy,
Tsy tiako ho tadidy,
Reny rehetra ireny...
F'izaho sy ialahy,
Hamafy hafaliana,
Hanome fanampiana,
Ny mitovy amiko,
Raha eo ialahy,
Hiteny ireo nangiana
FAHAFAHANA no iriana,
Ho an'ny Taniko...

Zahay ety,
We are here,
Mijinja ny mafaitra,
crossing the swamp,
Mitaty ny tsy laitra,
avoiding the shallow waters,
Tsy afaka manoatra
unable to reach the other side
Iandrasana, hitondra takaitra,
But hoping to find the way,
Zay ngamba ialahy vao taitra,
which the Lord knows,
Sao dia mba tara loatra...
Will it be much farther...
Potika, potika,
Climb, climb,
Fo sy saina rotidrotika,
Body and soul struggling,
Miantomboka, ny faharavana
Starting on the path of joy,
Ka eo ilay, ry, ry figadrana.
And there is, ah, that little lamp.
Foiko, foiko,
Me, me,
Raha ny foko no henoiko
If my heart is strong
Hanome ny Aiko,
I will give Him my love,
Mba ho sorona,
so that He may save me,
Ka ny fanahiko, hitovy
And may my soul,
Amin'ny vorona...
rest with the birds...
Aoka aho,
Let me,
Mba ho tompon-tsafidy,
be a trusted servant,
Mba tsy havela hihidy,
not to be ashamed,
Ty vavako miteny
My heart speaks
Ampy ho ahy izay,
That's enough for me,
Nitondra mangidy,
carrying a heavy burden,
Tsy tiako ho tadidy,
I don't want to be corrupted,
Reny rehetra ireny...
All these things...
F'izaho sy ialahy,
He and I,
Hamafy hafaliana,
Profess our faith,
Hanome fanampiana,
give each other strength,
Ny mitovy amiko,
Who shares my beliefs,
Raha eo ialahy,
When He is there,
Hiteny ireo nangiana
Speaking with His prophets
FAHAFAHANA no iriana,
it will always be to promote freedom,
Ho an'ny Taniko...
For my God's sake...
