Akira impundu ndaguhaye

Nayo ishimwe ngutuye amaboko

Rugori rwera katabonwa na bose

Cirore c’ubwiza ntangere

Abawe bakwise Burundi

Nanje nkwise Buramuko

Kirezi casaruwe neza

Bwirukiro bw’abo wibarutse

CHORUS:

Amakungu

Yose arata ubwiza wamanye

Imisozi ibiyaya n’ibiyaga bigutatse

Oooh Burundi, uri umutima w’Afrika

Nzogukunda gushika gupfa

2nd VERSE:

Rukundo rwakundiye abo bose

Bagize Imana bakakubamwo

Shurwe rimotera neza

Nzogukunda gushika gupfa

Ruhongore rw’Abarundi bose

Ntamajambo mfise yo guhaya

Kayeye kocika ntibunge

We ragi ry’abasokuru

CHORUS:

Amakungu

Yose arata ubwiza wamanye

Imisozi ibiyaya n’ibiyaga bigutatse

Oooh Burundi, uri umutima w’Afrika

Nzogukunda gushika gupfa
