Lyrics
Hay (6), izao vao tsapanao tokoa
Fa mafy ny fiainana
Hay (5), mafaitra
Ny mikaroka ny soa
Rehefa tsisy ny hitarainana
Fony mbola teo i dada sy i neny
Tsy nohenoina akory raha niteny
Sy mba nanahanatranatra…
Eee raha mahatsiaro ireo taloha
Mila ho vaky teo re ny loha
Fa tsy misy ny atokona
Ny manodidina ahy toa ngazana
Nahoana no mitokona
Hay (5), mafy izany tsy mba mitafy
Afa-tsy ankanjo rovitra
Hay, rehefa tsy eo koa i neny,
Dia tsy maintsy mihafy
Na dia noana sy mangovitra.
Eee raha mahatsiaro ireo taloha
Mila ho vaky teo re ny loha
Fa tsy misy ny atokona
Ny manodidina ahy toa ngazana
Ny totohondry no avokona
Eee raha mahatsiaro ireo taloha
Mila ho vaky teo re ny loha
Lyrics in english
Hay (6), now you really feel it
That life is hard
Hay (5), tough
To seek for good
When there is no one to complain to
When mom and dad were still alive
We didn't even listen when they spoke
And gave advice...
When you think about old days
I'm busting my hump
because there is nothing to cook
My surroundings seem barren
Why do they strike
Hay (5), it is hard having nothing to wear
Except torn clothes
Well, when mom isn't there either,
Having no choice
Even though hungry and shivering.
When you think about old days
I'm busting my hump
But there is nothing to cook
My surroundings seem barren
I clenched the fist
When you think about old days
I'm busting my hump
