Ndetse n’ iyi si yos’ izab’ ubwami bge,
Ari we Mwami w’ abami

Bazamusenga badacogora;
Bazamusingiz’ iteka
Izina rye rizababer’ impumuro,
Ikwire mw is’ isandare

Twihute, twamamaz’ ibye hose,
Mu moko yose yo mw isi,
Ngw indimi zose zizavug’ ishimwe rye,
Zemere yukw ar’ Umwami

Ku ngoma ye, n’ amahirwe masa:
Imboh’ arazibobora,
Kand’ abakene na b’ akabakenura,
Indushy’ akaziruhumu

Nimuze mwese, mwa byaremwe mwe
Mwubah’ Umwami w’ abami;
Nam we bamarayika, turirimbane,
Tut’ Urakaz’ uhimbazwe
