Ry Madagasikara soa.

Fa ho anao ho anao doria tokoa.

Ny tena sy fo fanahy anananay 'zay sarobidy
Sy mendrika tokoa.

Ka Ilay Nahary 'zao ton tolo izao no

O, our beloved fatherland,
O, fair Madagascar,
Our love will never decay,
But will last eternally.

This Island of our Fathers,

For our own satisfaction.
