Ni igisagara, ni igisagara cy’abasore

Mama ndare we

Kunda useruke,

Kunda useruke wari umudahemuka,

Waraye he ngarambe,

Naraye ngabirwa burinda bucya,

Burya bayita mweru,

Bayita mweru ikagenda nk’inyambo,

Uti wiriwe shenge,

Warimukura mugakura inkingi,

Ngo useka umuturanyi,

Wamuseka mukabyuka musa,

Ngo iyo uruzi rujya,

Iyo uruzi rujya ni yo amabuye agana,

Kiti mpuriye he n’ibiguruka,

Ngo imbwa yarihuse,

Yarihuse ibyara irihumye,

Ngo inyamaswa idakenga,

Burya idakenga yicwa n’umututizi,

Ngo ishavu rishira mu nda,

Rishiramo irindi rigengarara,

Ngo ubwenge si ubuginga,

Ntaho umupfumu yapfuye nk’abandi,

Ngo iyo ugeze kure,

Iyo ugeze kure n’ihene ikugera ihembe,

Ngo yakubise inda hasi,

Ihageze iti u Rwanda rwamparurutswe,

Dore utinya inkuba,

Nyamara uyitinya uri munsi y’ijuru,

Ngo ikinyica cy’umukunzi,

Arapfa ntimujyane yakira ntimureshye x2

Ni igisagara, ni igisagara cy’abasore x2

Ni igisagara x5
