Horonan-Tsary
Tononkira
Sounds like you really could do
– Toa tena azonao atao
With a little reminder of who you’re talking to
– Miaraka amin’ny fampahatsiahivana kely hoe iza no iresahanao
An honest woman
– Vehivavy marina
Always there to lend an ear
– Eo foana mba hampindrana sofina
I dealt with you fairly, been patient, it’s true
– Nifampiraharaha taminao ara-drariny aho, nanam-paharetana, marina izany
But remember, my deer
– Fa tsarovy, ny serfa
You’re in my zoo
– Ao amin’ny zoo-ko ianao
Don’t you forget
– Aza adino ve
You are my pet
– Ianao no biby fiompiko
I say when to sit and stay
– Hoy aho hoe rahoviana no hipetraka sy hijanona
Roll over, or go fetch
– Mihodina, na mandehana maka
Don’t you forget
– Aza adino ve
There’s no way out
– Tsy misy lalana hivoahana
You’re a debtor ’til the day you settle your account
– Mpitrosa ianao ‘ mandra – pahatongan’ny andro handaminana ny kaontinao
I’ve served you faithfully for an age
– Nanompo anao tamim pahatokiana aho nandritra ny taona maro
Obeyed demands, contained my rage
– Nankato ny fitakiana, nahitana ny hatezerako
Went off the air for years on your behalf
– Niala tamin’ny onjam peo nandritra ny taona maro ho anao
I know, and you’re so kind!
– Fantatro, ary tsara fanahy ianao!
And since you made me disappear
– Ary satria nataonao nanjavona aho
My name inspires much less fear
– Tsy dia mampatahotra loatra ny anarako
The least that you can do is fix my staff
– Ny kely indrindra azonao atao dia ny manamboatra ny mpiasako
In due time
– Amin’ny fotoana mety
Sing along, dear, you know the words!
– Mihira miaraka, ry malala, fantatrao ny teny!
Don’t you forget
– Aza adino ve
I won’t forget
– Tsy hohadinoiko
You are my pet
– Ianao no biby fiompiko
Yours since we met
– Ny anao hatramin’ny nihaonanay
I say when to sit and stay
– Hoy aho hoe rahoviana no hipetraka sy hijanona
Play ball, or just play dead
– Milalao baolina, na milalao maty fotsiny
Don’t you forget
– Aza adino ve
I’m in your net
– Ao amin’ny harato aho
The coop can’t be flown
– Tsy azo alefa ny coop
At least, not yet
– Farafaharatsiny, mbola tsy
The moves you make are mine and mine alone
– Ny hetsika ataonao dia ahy sy ahy irery
Looks like you’ll have to do this on your own
– Toa tsy maintsy manao izany samirery ianao
Looks like I’ll have to do this on my own
– Toa tsy maintsy manao izany irery aho
Fine
– Tsara izany
