Nind’ uzagera mu rurembo, Ruhorahw’ ibihe byose,

Akabon’ ibyiza bihari, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Akahabon’ inzira zose zisizemw’ izahabu nziza,

Agahora mu munezero, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Nind’ uzatur’ umusaraba, Ngw’ aruhuk’ iteka ryose,

Umwizer’ azahabw’ ikamba, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Azareb’ Umwami mu maso, Akiz’ imibabaro yose,

Abane naw’ iteka ryose, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Kandi har’ uzakingiranwa, Ubutazakingurirwa,

Azabwirwa ngo ntabwo nkuzi, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Azahamagarir’ ubusa, Urugi ruzaba rwakinzwe,

Bazagororerw’ asigare, Mbese nijye cyangwa wowe?

Harih’ uzishimir’ intsinzi, Anesheje, Anesheje,

Ari hamwe n’ abacunguwe, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?

Har’ uzaramukanya n’ abe, Batandukanijwe n’ ibyago,

Be kongera gutandukana, Mbese nijye, Cyangwa wowe?
