Madagascar Olodum

Several kingdoms were created
The Imerinas Point became consecrated
Rambozalama, the healthy vector
Ivato, sacred city

Queen Ranavalona
Stands out in life and youth
Majestic black
Sovereign of society

Alienated by his powers
King Radama was considered
A true Meiji
Who led his kingdom to dance

Bantus, Indonesians, Arabs
Integrate into Malagasy culture
Manly race spreading throughout Brazil

Sankara Vatolay
Dazzles the whole nation
Merinas, peoples, tradition
And the mazimbas were defeated by invention

Madagascar, island, island of love
Madagascar, island, island of love
Madagascar, island, island of love
Madagascar, island, island of love

And long live Pelô, Pelourinho
Heritage of humanity
Pelourinho, Pelourinho
Stage of life and black truths

Protests, demonstrations
Olodum against Apartheid
Together with Madagascar
Evoking equality and freedom to reign

Madagascar, island, island of love
Madagascar, island, island of love

Aiêê, Madagascar Olodum
Aiêê, I am the rainbow of Madagascar, and I said aiêêê
Aiêê, Madagascar Olodum
Aiêê, I am the rainbow of Madagascar
