Moa Nivavaka?

Amim-panetren-tena

1. Raha vao maraina nyandro,
Moa nivavaka?
Nangataka fitahiana
amin’ nyAnaran’ i Jesoa,
’zay Hiaro tokoa.

[Chorus]

Endrey ’zany fahatoniana

Noho ilay vavaka.

Raha vao maizina ny dianao,

Mivavaha ianao.

2. Raha sendra ka sorena,
Moa nivavaka?
Hangataka famindrampo
Mba hamelanao tokoa
Ny rahalahinao.

[Chorus]

Endrey ’zany fahatoniana

Noho ilay vavaka.

Raha vao maizina ny dianao,

Mivavaha ianao.

3. Raha sendra ady mafy,
Moa nivavaka?
Raha be ny alahelo
Balsaman’i Gileada,
Moa ve nalainao?

[Chorus]

Endrey ’zany fahatoniana

Noho ilay vavaka.

Raha vao maizina ny dianao,

Mivavaha ianao.
