Muze mwes’ abakijijwe,
Abazinutsw’ iby’ isi;
Nimwikorer’ umusaraba :
Ni w’ ubaneshereza
Umusaraba ni wo bendera
Yacu tw’ abakijijwe !
Twemeye n’ isoni zawo :
Ni w’ utunesherza
2
Umusaraba w’ isoni
N’ irembo rifunganye
Uduhata kwiyambura
Ibituremerera

Nuko, twiyambure byose,
Tumere nka ya mpumyi,
Ukw itanze gut’ umwenda,
Ngw isang’ Umwami Yesu

Twajyaga dutiny’ urupfu :
Yes’ arugir’ irembo
Ritugeza vuba cyane
Mu bgami bgo mw ijuru

Ibikangisho by’ Umwanzi
N’ iby’ intar’ izuritswe
Ni tudat’ inzira yacu
Ntabg’ azadushyikira

Uzura n’ Imana vuba
kubg’ urupfu rwa Yesu :
Amaraso y’ Umusaraba
Ni y’ atwuzuza na Yo
