Ravin-tapia tian-dandy | Tapia leaves are loved by silkworms, |
ravin-tambolo tian'ny nify | tambolo leaves are loved by the teeth. |
ka raha manaja ahy mba hajaiko | If you respect me, I will respect you, |
ary raha manitsaka ahy mba hitsahiko | and if you despise me, I will despise you. |
fa hianao Ivatolaivy | For you are Ivatolaivy, |
hodidinin'ny alan-tapia | surrounded by a forest of tapia, |
izaho kosa Ambohinihaza | while I am Ambohinihaza, |
hodidinin'ny rano eto Itasy | surrounded by the waters of Itasy. |
