Aba Yesu bishimira

Aba Yesu bishimira

Izina rye ryera;

Ribamar’ imibabaro,

Rikabatinyura

Umutim’ ukomeretse

ni ryo riwukiza;

Ushonje rirawuhaza;

Riruhur’ urushye

Ni ryo ngabo yanjye nziza

Ihor’ inkingira,

N’ urutare nubakaho,

N’ inzu yanjye itagwa

Ur’ umutambyi nemera

N’ Umwam’ untegeka

N’ Umwunger’ ujy’ andagira

N’ inshuti nizera

Ni wowe bugingo bganjye,

Kandi kuri wowe

Ni ho nsiganirwa, Yesu;

Kand’ uri n’ inzira

Nuko ndasaba wemere

Ishimwe ngushima,

Nubgo ntabasha kuvuga

Ibigukwiriye

Yes’ ubgo nzakwirebera,

Uk uri mw ijuru,

Ni bgo nzajya ngusingiza,

Nkuko bikwiriye

Na non’ uko mbishoboye,

Nzajya nguhimbaza;

No mw ipfa ryanjy’ iryo zina

Rizampumuriza
