Ubwo nzamar’ imirimo ngo nsezere kw’ isi,
Umugezi witw’ Urupfunywambutse,
Ni ho nzagera mw Ijuru,
nsang’ Uwamfiriye :
Azanyakiran’ ubuntu n’ineza
Nzamumenya, nzamumenya
Nzaba mpagaz’ imbere Ye, nnyuzwe
Nzamumenya, nzamumenya ;
Mbony’ inkovu zo mu biganza bye

Nzanezerwa ni mbon’ubwiza bwo mumaso he,
Kandi sinzasiba kumushimira
Urukundo n’ imbabazi n’ ubuntu

Nanjy’ amboner’ ikibanza mw ijuru

Abo nkunda bagezeyo mbafitiy’ ubwuzu:
Wa Mugezi ni wo wadutanije
Ariko sinavug’ ubwuzu bwinshi mfitiye
Umukiza wanjye wanyitangiye

Azanshisha mw iremb’ansohoze mu rugo i We
Azanyambikish’ umwenda wera de
Nzaririmb’ iya Mose n’iy’ Umwana

Yewe, nzanyurwa nirebeye Yesu !
