about

Fafy Rano (Small Island mix)
Small Island Big Song ft' Monja Manitsindava

For our urban landscapes
We recorded with Monja in Madagascar’s hectic capital Antananarivo, breaking our goal of recording all the songs in nature. Our cities and urban landscapes are nature too. Everything is part of nature’s precious web of life.

lyrics

English title – Cleansing Water
Composer – Monja
Language – Antandroy Madagascar

o! o!o!o!oe!oe! a amba!!!!

andao ry angala tso drano alaina avao ty maka tso drano hikarama atoy fa tsy ho mosary amin ity ray amandreny masoandro amam bolana

o!o!o! oe!oe!oe! a amba!!!!!

zay ty niniko te hangala tso drano zay mpanabe te hangala tso drano fiainana atoy tena miha sarotra ty tomobila tsy mitondra anao eke andao ry kahy angala tso drano ity tsodrano tazomy avao Ndaho tsodrano e eza ! eza! mm!mm!mm! ia a! ia a!a!


o! o!o!o!oe!oe! Go there.

We must take the blessing.
Come here, we will take the blessing of our ancestors.
This is very important in our life if we want to do something.
Blessing is very important
to have the blessing of our ancestors.

o! o!o!o!oe!oe! Go there

Water is a gift of life
Like the blessing of children
The seeds are sown when you do things in life that will benefit others.
