Ngo meny’ icyo yankoreye

Mbimeny’uko biri
Bivug’ uburyo bgoroshye
Nk’ ubgiriz’ umwana
N’ umbonan’ umubabaro,
Ujy’ umber’ inshuti,
Umbwir’ iby’ ubwo buntu bwe
Ngo bimpumurize

Hor’ ubimbwir’ iteka :
Ntibizandambira
Umva, ni jye munyabyaha
Yesu yaj’ ashaka!
Erega, n’ igitangaza :
Mbyamamaze hose,
Uwer’ utagir’ inenge
Kumfira ndi mubi!

Yuko gukund’iby’ iyi si
Binyaz’ umugisha
Unyibuts’ iby’ isi yindi
Irut’ iyi cyane,
Ngo mbon’ Umwami w’ iyo si,
Antunganye, nyurwe
