Dor’ is’ ukunt’ ikwifuza :
Mukiz’ iragukumbura !
Umv’ uko bagutakira,
Ngo n’ iki kigutindije ?
Uzaza ryari, Mucunguzi,
Wime bga bgami budashira,
Ngw ibyaremwe byose byishime ?
Icyamp’ ukaz’ udatinze !
Umwami Yes’ ubw’ azaza, (X 3)
Tuzamureba, tunyurwe !

Azazana n’ ingabo ze,
Impanda bazivugije,
Abapfiriye muri We,
Bazuke, bamusang’ ubwo !
Natw’ abazaba bakiriho
Atujyane hamwe na bo,
Tubane na W’ iteka ryose
Icyamp’ akaz’ adatinze!

Satani n’ abadayimoni
Bazahunga mu maso he,
Ab’ isi b’ abagurano,
Azaza ngw ababature !
Kand’ amahor’ azatwar’ isi;
Azac’ intambara, zishire,
Ahindur’ ibi byose bishya
Icyamp’ akaz’ adatinze !

Bagenzi, tube mas’ ubu,
Duhore tumwiteguye
N’ ukuri, Databuj’ uwo,
Nta wuz’ igih’ azazira
Nyamar’ azaza ku ngoma ye,
Aya makub’ ayamareho
Duhumure, dutegereze
Icyamp’ akaz’ adatinze!
