Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô!

Ry Madagasikara soa

Ny fitiavanay anao tsy miala,

Fa ho anao doria tokoa

O, our beloved fatherland,

O, fair Madagascar,

Our love will never decay,

But will last eternally.

O, Lord Creator, do Thou bless

This Island of our Fathers,

That she may be happy and prosperous

For our own satisfaction.


O, our beloved fatherland,

Let us be thy servant

With body, heart and spirit

In dear and worthy service.

O, our beloved fatherland,

May God bless thee,

That created all lands;

In order He maintains thee.
