Tsy hitony tsy akory

Na dia misy olon-tiana
Hanakely ny mahory,
Sy hitondra hafaliana -
Tsy hitony tsy akory !

Na dia misy anjely soa
Hanafoana sorisory,
Sy hamalifaly koa -
Tsy hitony tsy akory

Na dia manan-kery aza
Ny fitia mamorivory,
Dia sahiko ny milaza:
Tsy hitony tsy akory !

Tsy hitony tsy akory
Fa diso ny finoana
Ry raozy e, esory
Ny tsilo manoloana.

Tsy hitony tsy akory
F' efa diso fanantena !
Ny foko avela hatory,
Hanadino e, ry sena !

Eny indrisy ! tsy hitony
Fara hery : manadino.
Fa ny tsy ho tia intsony
'Zany kosa, aza mino !
