Ni jye, Yesu, witanze
Kera ku Musaraba,
Mbitewe n’ urukundo
Ngo ngukiz’ ibyaha byawe
{ Mugenzi, narakwitangiye ;
Wanyituy’ iki wo we ? } x 2

Narets’ ubwiza bwanjye
Nari mfite mw ijuru,
Nsig’ umucyo kwa Data,
Nza mu mwijima w’ iyi si,
{ Naretse byose nkurengera :
Wants’ iki kubwaruye ? } x 2

Banyish’ urupfu rubi,
Birut’ uko byavugwa;
Navushijw’ amaraso
Ng’ utazapfa nabi nawe
{ Nakwihanganiy’ ibyo byose :
Wanyihanganiy’ iki? } x 2
4
Navuy’ i Wanjy’ i bgami,
Nger’ ah’ uri mw isi mbi,
Nkuzanir’ agakiza
N’ ubugingo budashira
{ Ko nakugabiy’ impan’ ubgo,
Wigeze kuntur’ iki ? } x 2
