Horonan-Tsary
Tononkira
I don’t know what to do
– Tsy fantatro izay tokony hatao
Thought I was righteously leading our people, but
– Nihevitra aho fa nitarika ny vahoakantsika tamim-pahamarinana, saingy
Now I’m faced with the truth
– Miatrika ny fahamarinana aho izao
What kind of leader can’t tell good from evil?
– Inona no karazana mpitarika tsy afaka milaza ny tsara amin’ny ratsy?
All those poor souls, how many could have been saved?
– Ireo fanahy mahantra rehetra ireo, firy no mety ho voavonjy?
How could I trust in a justice so cruel and depraved?
– Ahoana no hatokisako ny rariny amin’ny fomba feno habibiana sy ratsy fitondran-tena?
One seeks an answer that one can not grant her
– Mitady valiny izay tsy azon’ny olona omena azy ny olona iray
You’re looking for light only you can ignite
– Mitady hazavana ianao fa ianao ihany no afaka mandrehitra
Every transgression must serve as a lesson
– Ny fandikan-dalàna rehetra dia tsy maintsy atao lesona
Yesterday, you drew sorrow
– Omaly, nisarika alahelo ianao
What will you do tomorrow?
– Inona no hataonao rahampitso?
I feel no wiser than when I commanded the slaughter of those sons and daughters
– Tsy mahatsiaro ho hendry noho ny nandidiako ny famonoana ireo zanakalahy sy zanakavavy ireo aho
(You can’t hide)
– (Tsy afaka miafina ianao)
How can I be sure I don’t repeat more massacre based on mistaken conceit?
– Ahoana no ahazoako antoka fa tsy hamerina famonoana olona bebe kokoa mifototra amin’ny fieboeboana diso aho?
(Look inside)
– (Jereo ao anatiny)
If I stand down and leave us exposed, would that be blind to the threat Hell may pose?
– Raha miala aho ary mamela antsika ho hita, mety ho jamba amin’ny fandrahonana mety hitranga ve izany?
You can’t know, though time flows on
– Tsy fantatrao, na dia mandeha aza ny fotoana
So you must bear the cross bestowed upon you
– Noho izany dia tsy maintsy mitondra ny hazo fijaliana nomena anao ianao
Take pity, I pray
– Mangoraka, mivavaka aho
Give me a sign, what’s your guidance?
– Omeo famantarana aho, inona ny fitarihanao?
Please show me the way
– Mba asehoy ahy ny lalana
You speak of choices made by other voices
– Miresaka safidy nataon’ny feo hafa ianao
You can only atone (Tell me how to atone)
– Afaka manonitra fotsiny ianao (Lazao amiko ny fomba hanonerana)
Once you speak with your own
– Raha vao miteny amin’ny anao manokana ianao
If souls from damnation
– Raha fanahy avy amin’ny fanamelohana
Can earn their salvation
– Afaka mahazo ny famonjena azy ireo
And find their forgiveness on high
– Ary mahita ny famelan-keloka avo
How do I?
– Ahoana no hataoko?
