This Betsimisaraka proverb means that when a person is overwhelmed by love and well-nourished, they forget the dangers and realities of the outside world. The phrase ‘does not know how to die under the sun’ suggests that he is lost in his contentment, not paying attention to his surroundings. It is similar to the English proverb ’love is blind,’ indicating how emotions and immediate pleasures can cloud one’s judgment.
