Mpangarije mu mpinga

Naje nturutse i kantarange

Ndayoboza ku idembe

ngo mbature imbata nyinshi

Ngo imbabura zake hose

Inzara ifate inzira iyizika

Iziko rya rubanda ryake

rukara rwose ishyirweho iyayo

Ndayoboza ku idembe bambe we !
Nyereka inzira igana aheza
Unampe iyabo kandi
Wowe wagize imana!

Twahinganye imigende
None ubarizwa mu ndege
Ndengera windenga
Windambirwa* ngo urampa
Mpa ku byambo, si amagambo
Nanjye ndobe ifi nkawe
Zihaze abatizihinga
Bahange ibyuzi bazi ibyiza byazo


Ndayoboza ku idembe bambe we !
Nyereka inzira igana aheza
Unampe iyabo kandi
Wowe wagize imana!

I Bweramibiri simpazi
Nzi i Rweramubiri ahubwo
Uhahira Rwerimpuga
Ahenshi batanahaga
Wagobotse izo ngorwa
Ntuhaze ibitari ngombwa
Nyereka uko ngera aho uli
Ngo ngere ikirenge mu cya Mirenge !


Ndayoboza ku idembe bambe we !
Nyereka inzira igana aheza
Unampe iyabo kandi
Wowe wagize imana!

Ndayoboza inzira-mana
Rwose ngo nzimye urwango
Nereke abimika inabi
Ko ineza ntaho yagiye
Maze mu nzira y'umutuzo
Umutindi ajyane n'umutunzi
Baganire bagana hamwe
Ni ibamba amuvane iw'abandi!

Ndayoboza ku idembe bambe we
Nyereka inzira mpunge inzara
Unampe iyabu kandi
Wowe wagize imana!

Ndayoboza ku idembe bambe we
Nyereka inzira mpunge inzara
Unampe iyabo kandi
Wowe wagize imana!
