Ndeger Umusaraba

Ndeger’Umusaraba,

Nnar we, nkennye, mpumye;

Nta kindi kindi nshaka:

Ngusabye kunkiz’ubu

Nakwifujije kera,

Ndi mu ngoyi z’ ibyaha;

Maz’umbwiranez’ uti:

Ngukiz’ibicumuro !

Ubu ndakwihereje:

End’ibyo mfite byose,

Ubgenge n’ imbaraga;

Byose Yes’ubyakire

Nizey’ibyo wavuze

N’ amaraso wavuye;

Ndicuza gutinda ntyo:

None, Yesu, nyakira !

Yesu, non’ungezemo ;

Urakaza, Mukiza !

Nta n’ ineng’ umbaraho:

Shimwa, shimwa, Nyakuza !
