Aho nzahamagarwa hose, ari no mu misozi,

Cyangwa ku rugamba rukaze; Mubyeyi, n’ unkenera,

Ukambwiz’ ijwi ryawe ritoya,

Ukanyuz’ inzira ntazi,

Nzakwishyira mu maboko, mvuge nti:

Nzajy’ ah’ unshakira hose.

Ahari Yes’ ashaka yuko mmuvugir’ uyu munsi;

Ahari babonek’ impabe, nkwiriye guhabura;

Murokozi wanjye, n’ unyobora,

N’ahar’ ibihanamanga;

Sinzareka kogez’ inkuru yawe;

Nzajy’ ah’ unshakira hose.

Nta bwo nshidikanya, har’ aho Mwam’ ushaka ko nkora.

Mu kubaho kwanjye kugufi, nkorer’ Uwambambiwe.

Mwami, nkubikij’ ibyanjye hyose,

Nzi k’ unkunda bitangaje.

Nzakor’ iby’ ushaka, mhikunze cyane;

Nzajy’ ah’ unshakira hose.
