Muze kureb’ i Gologota
Yes’ ukw ashinyagurirwa,
Murebe Yes’ ukundwa na Se
Amenets’ umutima we
Ni tw’ apfira ku Musaraba !
Tumwizere twihannye
Bantu b’ Umwami, mushime
Yes’ Umucunguzi wanyu

Bamwambits’ ikamba ry’ amahwa:

Ubuntu n’ urukundo byawe,
Mbe, twabirondora dute ?

Ngo, Dat’ ubababarire !
Natwe twes’ adusabir’ atyo,
Tw’ abanyabyaha yazize

Nimwumve mwes’ uko gutaka,
Uko yatatse cyan’ ati :
Mbe, Mana yanjye, Mana yanjye,
N’ iki kikundekesheje ?

Nimwongere mwumv’ iryo jwi rye,
Ngo, Byose birarangiye !
Umwuka we wenda guhera
Ati : Dat’ uz’ unyakire !

Dor’ uko tugupfukamiye
Turakuramya, Mukiza
Kand’ ibyaremwe byose na byo
Bizagusingiza, Yesu

Dufatany’ ubugingo bumwe,
Dushim’ Uwadupfiriye
No mu bugingo no mu rupfu,
Yesu Mwam’ umbwire byose!
