Somambisamby
Mahaleo Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Ka ontsaontsa ny fanahy, fa maro ny olana
Manembona ny any aminay, tanàna tsy foina
Mahatsiaro ireo havanay, tsy hay hadinoina, mba jerijereo
Mba jerijereo ny tananàntsika, aza avela hangina, aza avela hangatsiaka
Fa mbola ho tonga indray androany, hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy
Hirongo tantely, hirongo vilany
Toa mateti-pihavy kanefa ilay ora-panala
Ka lasa ny saina miantefa hamangy ny malala
Ka lavitra anefa ny any, toa saro-banjinina
Ny sento no hampitaina any, veloma masìna ô
Veloma masìna, veloma ry tiana
Alao ny alahelo handao ny akiviana
Fa mbola ho tonga indray androany
Hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy
Hamafa tomany, hamafa vinany
Na dia maro aza ny zava-midona, aza atao mampifezaka
Aza kivy na very finoana, mandehana manezaka
Ao anatin' ny ngidy ny mamy, ka saro-takarina
Misy ny ambony, misy ny ambany, izay no marina fa ny ady tsy vita
Ny ady tsy vita fa mbola hitohy
Ny mety tafita, raha mamohifohy
Ka raiso ny ampinga, raiso ny hery
Handresy ireo kinga, tsy maneritery
Handrava fanànana, hamokatra fery
The lyrics of Mahaleo's song "Somambisamby" are a melancholic reflection on the struggles and challenges of life, intertwined with a call for unity and perseverance among the Malagasy people. The opening verse sets the tone for the song, with the repetition of "Somambisamby re ry lahy e" - a phrase which can be roughly translated to "let us unite together, brothers" - underscoring the theme of togetherness that pervades the song. The following lines describe the difficulties and hardships faced by many people ("ka ontsaontsa ny fanahy, fa maro ny olana"), but also emphasize the importance of staying strong and not losing hope.
The chorus of the song is a call to action, urging everyone to keep moving forward and not give up in the face of adversity. "Mba jerijereo ny tananàntsika" - "let us keep moving forward together" - is a rallying cry for the Malagasy people to work together towards a brighter future. The repetition of "hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy" - "bring goodness, bring love" - reinforces the idea that by working together and supporting each other, the people of Madagascar can overcome any obstacle.

Somambisamby re ry lahy e, toy ny andro diavolana
Let us dance, my friend, like the days of the devil
Ka ontsaontsa ny fanahy, fa maro ny olana
Let us shake our souls, for there are many problems
Manembona ny any aminay, tanàna tsy foina
Let us remember our homeland, the city that never sleeps
Mahatsiaro ireo havanay, tsy hay hadinoina, mba jerijereo
Take care of our ancestors, don't forget them, and be vigilant
Mba jerijereo ny tananàntsika, aza avela hangina, aza avela hangatsiaka
Let's be vigilant of our surroundings, don't be careless, don't be judgmental
Fa mbola ho tonga indray androany, hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy
But tomorrow will come again, bringing joys and sorrows
Hirongo tantely, hirongo vilany
Listen to the whispering leaves, listen to the humming wind
Toa mateti-pihavy kanefa ilay ora-panala
Although the sun is setting, the day is not over
Ka lasa ny saina miantefa hamangy ny malala
Let the memories gather together like the flowers
Ka lavitra anefa ny any, toa saro-banjinina
Although far away, the land is within reach
Ny sento no hampitaina any, veloma masìna ô
Let's raise our spirits, farewell and goodbye
Veloma masìna, veloma ry tiana
Goodbye my friends, goodbye my loves
Alao ny alahelo handao ny akiviana
Keep the pain and leave the sadness behind
Hamafa tomany, hamafa vinany
Forget the mistakes, forget the regrets
Na dia maro aza ny zava-midona, aza atao mampifezaka
Although there are many challenges, don't give up
Aza kivy na very finoana, mandehana manezaka
Don't be jealous or doubtful, move forward confidently
Ao anatin' ny ngidy ny mamy, ka saro-takarina
In the midst of chaos, hold on tight
Misy ny ambony, misy ny ambany, izay no marina fa ny ady tsy vita
There are ups and downs, that's the truth of the unfinished battle
Ny ady tsy vita fa mbola hitohy
The unfinished battle still continues
Ny mety tafita, raha mamohifohy
What may happen, if I try harder
Ka raiso ny ampinga, raiso ny hery
So raise the shield, raise the strength
Handresy ireo kinga, tsy maneritery
Defeat the obstacles, do not give up
Handrava fanànana, hamokatra fery
Nurture hope, and move forward without fear

Somambisamby re ry lahy e, 'tony ny andro diavolana
Ka ontsaontsa ny fanahy, fa maro ny olana
Manembona ny any aminay, tanàna tsy foina
Mahatsiaro ireo havanay, tsy hay hadinoina, mba jerijereo
Mba jerijereo ny tanànantsika
Aza avela hangina , aza avela hangatsiaka
Fa mbola ho tonga ilay androany
Hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy
Hirongo tantely, hirongo vinany
Toa mateti-piavy kanefa ilay ora-panala
Ka lasa ny saina miantefa hamangy malala
Toa lavitra anefa ny any ka saro-banjinina
Ny sento no hampitaina any, veloma masìna ô
Veloma masìna, veloma ry tiana
Fafao ny alahelo fafao ny hakiviana
Fa mbola ho tonga ny indray androany
Hitondra ny soa, hitondra ny mamy
Hirongo tantely, hirongo vinany
Na dia maro aza ny zava-midona, aza atao mampifezaka
Aza kivy na very finoana, mandehana miezaka
Fa ao anatin’ ny ngidy ny mamy, ka saro-takarina
Misy ny ambony sy ambany, izay no marina fa ny ady tsy vita
Ny ady tsy vita fa mbola hitohy
Tsy mety tafita raha mamoy fo
Ka raiso ny ampinga, raiso ny hery
Handresy ireo kinga sy maneritery
Handrava fanànana, hamokatra fery
