Mother, I tried to do right by you
– Neny, niezaka nanao ny tsara taminao aho
To do what you asked me to
– Mba hanao izay nangatahinao tamiko
I did wrong, and I knew
– Diso aho, ary fantatro
Mother, I tried to behave for you
– Neny, niezaka ny hitondra tena ho anao aho
Now I’m a-diggin’ a grave for you
– Ankehitriny dia mihady fasana ho anao aho
It was all I could do
– Izay ihany no azoko natao
Find a way back home, make everything new
– Mitadiava lalana mody, ataovy vaovao ny zava-drehetra
I wish it was true
– Enga anie ka ho marina izany
Father, well I gave my soul to you
– Ray ô, nomeko anao ny fanahiko
I came in blind folded for you
– Tonga tao amin’ny blind folded ho anao aho
It was all that I knew
– Izay rehetra fantatro
Open your arms and I’ll fly out of hell up to you
– Sokafy ny sandrinao dia hanidina avy any amin’ny helo ho any aminao aho
I wish it was true
– Enga anie ka ho marina izany
Boy, come on out from the cold
– Ry zazalahy, mivoaha avy amin’ny hatsiaka
You’re lost outside there, don’t you know?
– Very any ivelany ianao, tsy fantatrao?
It’s not what you say, it’s what you do
– Tsy izay lazainao fa izay ataonao
Just keep wishing your wishes are true
– Tohizo ny fanirianao marina ny fanirianao
Well, your dreams, they’re reality, yeah
– Eny, ny nofinao, zava-misy izy ireo, eny
There’s no pain, there’s no misery
– Tsy misy fanaintainana, tsy misy fahoriana
Just polish the blood and the brews
– Alefaso fotsiny ny ra sy ny labiera
For there’s just no way you can lose
– Fa tsy misy fomba ahafahanao mamoy
Well, I wish it was true
– Eny, maniry aho fa marina izany
Country, I was a solider to you
– Firenena, solider ho anao aho
I did what you asked me to
– Nanao izay nangatahinao tamiko aho
It was wrong, and you knew
– Diso izany, ary fantatrao
Country, now I’m just a stranger to you
– Firenena, vahiny aminao fotsiny aho izao
A number, a name; it’s true
– Isa, anarana; marina izany
Throw me away when you’re through
– Atsipazo aho rehefa vita ianao
Home of the brave and the free; the red, white, and blue
– Fonenan’ny be herim-po sy ny afaka; ny mena, fotsy, ary manga
Well, I wish it was true
– Eny, maniry aho fa marina izany
