Ry Tanindraza nay malala ô
Oh, Our beloved fatherland
Ry Madagasikara soa.
Oh good Madagascar.
Ny fitiavanay anaotsy miala,
Our love for you will not leave,
Fa ho anao ho anao doria tokoa.
For you, for you for ever.
Tahionao ry Zanahary
Bless you, oh Creator
‘Ty No sindrazanay ity
This island of our ancestors
Hiadana sy ho finaritra
To live in peace and joy
He sambatra tokoa izahay.
Hey! We are truly blessed.
Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô
Oh our beloved fatherland!
Irinay mba hanompoan’anao
We wish to serve you with
Ny tena sy fo fanahy anananay ‘zay sarobidy
The body and heart, spirit that is ours,
Sy mendrika tokoa.
You are precious and truly deserving.
Ry Tanindrazanay malala ô
Oh our beloved fatherland!
Irinay mba hitahian’ anao,
We wish that you will be blessed,
Ka Ilay Nahary ‘zao ton tolo izao no
So that the Creator of this world
Fototra ijoroan, ny satanao.
Will be the foundation of your laws.
