Mbeg' urukundo rwaw umfitiye !

Mbeg’ urukundo rwaw’umfitiye !

Sinarumenya: rurahebuje

Mukiza wanjy’ ummpishurire,

Rumpumurize no kunyobora,

Ni nteshuka

Urwo rukundo narugera nte?

Ruransumba ; sinarurondora

Njyendwerekana gus’umfashije,

Njye mvug’ uko rukiz’abangizi

B’ abihebe

Urwo rukundo naruvuga nte,

Ko ntabon’amagamb’ akwiriye ?

Nyamar’ akanwa kanjye kifuza

Guhora nshimish’Umurokozi

Unkund’atyo

Urwo rukundo narushimira nte !

Mukiza wanjye, ne guceceka

Ndirimb’ imbabazi wangiriye,

Jy’ umunyabyaha wakugomeye,

Ukankiza !

Nta cyo nabasha kugushimisha;

Mukiza wanjye, nd’umukene pe

Niringiy’urukund’umfitiye:

Mbes’ Uwankunz’ akanyitangira,

Ndashaka, Yesu, kukugumaho,

Ur’ isoko y’ amaz’ ahoraho,

Njye mpore nkunywah’ ubudasiba,

Umar’ inyota n’ umubabaro,

Sinkuveho!

Mukiz’ ubwo nzagera mw ijuru,

Amaso yanjy’akakwirebera,

Ni h’ urukundo rwawe nzabona

Uko ndumeny’ uko ndusingiza,

Mucunguzi!
