Data mwiza, tugarutse kugushengerera none;

Twicishije bugufi, twiyoroheje, twifuza kubabarirwa.

2

Twongeye kugushimira, kuko waturinze twese;

Ukatuzirikana ukaduhira, ukatugarura hano.

3

Ayi, twagushij’ ishyano; tur’ abo kwangw’ urunuka;

Dore, tujya duteshuk’ inzira yawe, noneho turahabutse.

4

Mana y’ imigisha yose, ni w’ utang’ utaziganya;

Tureban’ imbabazi, turakwinginze; uduhaz’ ijambo ryawe.
