Rastafari

Manerana ny tanàna, hatreny Ampetrao,

Misy feo miantso, "Zion is calling you now."

Avy any an-tany lavitra, ny tantara no nifoha,

Ny ràn'ny mpanjaka, mikoriana ao an-doha.

Verse 1: Ny Fototra (The Roots)

Tany Jamaika tany, tamin'ny taona telopolo,

Nitsangana i Marcus Garvey, namoha ny tontolo.

"Look to the East," hoy izy tamin'ny vahoaka,

Ho avy ny Mpanjaka, ny fatorana ho tapaka.

He crowned the King, the Conquering Lion of Judah,

Haille Selassie I, ny hazavana hitondra hery vaovao.

Chorus: Ampetrao to Ethiopia

From Ampetrao to Ethiopia, one love is the key,

Mitady ny marina, we want to be free.

Ny dreadlocks eo an-doha, dia satroboninahitra,

In this Babylon system, we are the survivors.

Ampetrao monina, nefa Zion no saina,

Jah Rastafari, the light of our inner mind.

Verse 2: Ny Fiainana eny Ampetrao (The Lifestyle)

Eny Ampetrao eny, miakatra ny setroka manitra,

Misy vibration madio, mampitony ny fanahy sy lanitra.

Tsy resaka "style" fotsiny, na lamaody mandalo,

Fa finoana lalina, tsy hilefitra amin'ny fahavalo.

It’s a livity, a way of life and soul,

Ny firaisankina no tanjona, that is the goal.

Bridge: Ny Tantaran'ny Sesitany (The Exile)

Nentina ho andevo ny razana, namakivaky ranomasina,

Nefa ny fanahy tsy resy, mbola manana ny hasina.

Chanting down Babylon, with the sound of the drum,

Miandry ny fiverenana, the Kingdom has come.

Ny tantaran'i Shashamane, sy ny lova navela,

Tsy hohadinon'ny Rasta, na ho ela na ho ela.

Outro: Ny Hafatra (The Message)

Koa tohizo ny dia, ry rahalahy eny Ampetrao,

Keep the fire burning, let the spirit lead you.

Peace, Love, and Unity, izay no hery,

Rastafari lives, forever and ever, tsy very.
