HAFATRA
Ho any inao kanefa...
Aza ataonao fantany
'zao fahoriako izao. Fa aoka hiafina aminy
ny ketoky ny jaly
nanempaka ny aiko, tanatin'ny longoa
izay namandriany ahy ...
Ny dinitry ny foko manorika ahy mangina
fa sempon-tsasak'alina
misaina ity anjarako,
Aza ataonao fantany!
...Raha manontany izy,
iangaviako ianao handainga indray mandeha!
lazao fa nanadino ny momba azy rehetra
ny saiko manontolo.
"Rakom-boninkazo hoe ireo lavenon-dasa
natoraky ny Adaoro".
Ireto diary ireto lazao fa efa may
sy tapitra efa kila...
...Fa ny volofotsiko,
ny ketroketrin'handriko
Afeno dia afeno!
Azonao izany?
Etsy kely koa
hafarako ianao!
Jereo raha sambatra izy! Mba hamantaranao
dia ireto no fambara:
"Ao an'efintranony: misy voninkazo
tsy maintsy mavokely...
Eo an-doha-fandriany:
ny sarin'olon-tiany...na iza n'iza izany"
Raha izay no hitanao dia efa sambatra izy
Ka aza asiana resaka momba ahy akory ,
f'izany rahateo no niriko ho azy...
Izay no hafatrafatro
ka tazony tsara...Ary dia veloma!
Saingy esty ange!
'Ty tananao ity, aza akasi-javatra
mandra-pifandrain'ny tananao sy ny azy...
Eny e! Ampy izay. Tongava soa aman-tsara!
Dia akatony mora
io varavarako io
fa hitomany aho...

TELL HIM
You will go there, however ...
don't let him know
what my misery is. Let be hidden from him
the intensity of my suffering
which cut off my life in the pit
where he's trapped me ...
The tears of my heart silently soak me
by just a midnight sigh
when I am thinking about my part
Don’t let him know about that!
... If he asks about me,
please lie once!
say I forgot about it all
in my whole mind.
“The ashes of the past, now covered with flowers
were thrown by Adaoro *".
These diaries of mine, say they are burned down
with no ashes left...
... But about my white hair,
my forehead wrinkles
Hide them to him!
Do you understand that?
One more thing,
I entreat you!
Look if he's fulfilled! To find out,
these are the signs:
“In his room: there are flowers
they must be pink ...
At his bedside:
a picture of his sweetheart ... whoever it is "
If that's what you see, he's already fulfilled
So don't even mention me,
that's what I've wished for him ...
That is my precious message
so keep to it ... And goodbye!
But one last thing!
'your hand in mine, don't touch anything with it
until your hand touches his ...
Yes! That's enough. Go safely!
Then silently close
that door of mine
because I will cry ...
Adaoro is a malagasy astrological sign, for Taurus, April to May http://motmalgache.org/bins/teny2/adaoro , Adaoro is assimilated to the Sun, like the sun it puts fire on whatever it burns, so the poet is saying it's fate's fault not his,
