Imins’ irahita vuba,
Irahita yihuta
Ukw ihita, benshi bapfa
Batameny’ Umukiza
Hari twakora :
Tugikoran’ umwete :
Dutabar’ ubu vuba,

Irashira, irashira !
Dor’ iminsi irashira!
Dutabar’ ubu twese,
Twe gukererwa dutyo!

Mu mitima y’ abantu;

Kand’ ubyuts’ abaguye,
Uhumure n’ impumyi,
Ibiseb’ ubivure

Dukor’ iby’ imbabazi

N’ abadayimoni bose
Ubu ni We dufite

Sigaho kwizera guke :
Na wa wundi yakizwa !

Yar’ umwanzi w’ ibyiza;
Yamufash’ atunguwe,
Yemera gukizw’ ubgo,

Tyo n’ ubu, mugende mwese,
Muri kumwe na Yesu;

Bos’ abazabyemera
Kandi mwe gucogora
Cyangwa se kunanirwa,
Mutarabasohoza
Ku Mukiz’ ubifuza
