Ndabaririmbira Iby Uwamfiriye

Ndabaririmbira—Iby’Uwamfiriye,

Wankunze mfit’ ibyaha, narararutse !

Wambonyemw iki, Krisito,

Ukaza mw is’ukamfira ?

Yasiz’ ingoma ye, —Nukw aramanuka;

Baramusuzugura, ntibamwemera

Har’ indi nshuti nka We se

Yakund’ abayihinyuye ?

Baramushingije, —Bashash’ imyambaro

Ngo, Hozana; hahirw’ Umwami Krisito!

Bukeye, barahinduka,

Bati: Nabambge ! Nabambge !

Bafash’ Umwam’ ubgo, —Baramuhemura;

Bakiz’umwambuzi, babamba Krisito

Iby’ arabyihanganira,

Ngw abon’ ukw aducungura

Yavuye mw ijuru, —Aza mur’ iyi si,

Abur’ aho yarambik’ umusaya we;

Amfira ku Musaraba,

Ngo nanjy’ angeze mw ijuru

Ntabgo nzarambirwa—Kubaririmbira

Iby’ urukundo rwe n’ uko yababajwe

Yanyemeye nk’ inshuti ye:

Nzavuga hos’ izina rye!
