Ba bakobga cumi biteguye Kujya gusanganira wa mukwe

bari bajyany’ amatara yabo, Ngw abamurikire mu mwijima

Abatanu bar’ abanyabgenge, Bujuj’ amavuta mu mperezo,

Nahw abandi batanu b’ abapfu mu mperezo zabo hari humye

Hanyuma yah’ umukw’ aratinda Nuko bose barahunikira

Bigeze mu gihe cy’ igicuku, Habah’ urusaku bat’ araje !

Bumvv’ irindi jwi rivuga riti: Mwihute kumusanganira

Ba bakobga bose bitegura Gutunganya ya matara yabo

Ba bapfu btangira kuvuga bati Kw amatara yac’ ataka!

Bati: Nyamuneka, nshuti zacu, Nimuduhe ku mavuta yanyu

Na bo bati: Ntabgo yadukwira, Nimugende mujye kwigurira

Bafat’ inzir’ ubgo baragenda Bajya gushak’ aho bagurira

Uwo mwanya bamaze kuv’ aho, Umukw’ aherakw arasohora

Ba bakobga bar’ abanyabgenge Binjirana n’ umukwe mu bukwe

Ba bapfu baza bavuga bati: Data-buja we, dukingurire

arabasubiz’ ati: Simbazi. aherakw arabakingirana

Mwene Data, wumv’ izi nyigisho Zituruka k’ Umukiza wacu

Ukwiriye kwitegura kumusanganir’ ubg’ agaruka
