Mwam’ ujy’ imbere mu nzira yacu

Mwam’ ujy’ imbere mu nzira yacu

Tur’ abana baw’ uduhe

Kugukurikir’ iteka,

Utuyobore, tujye kwa Data

Mu ngeso zacu no mu mirimo,

Iby’ ushaka ko dukora

Mu rugendo rw’ i Siyoni,

Utubashishe kubisohoza

Ni haz’ igiter’ uturengere !

Ni tubon’ iminsi mibi,

Tube twihanganye cyane,

Mu nzira yawe, ni ko bigenda

Ni tubabazwa n’ ibidutera,

Udukomeze, tubashe

Kubabarir’ abatwanga;

Tukwiringiye, bizanesheka

Naho habaho ikintu cyose

Kidukurahw amahoro

Ngo duterwe n’ ubukonje

Tuzacyihana, tuger’ i wawe

Duhishurire ibyo mw ijuru,

Amasezerano yawe

Ab’ impamba y’ ubugingo;

Maze hanyuma, tuger’ i Wawe

Uru rugendo urutunganye !

Kand’ uduh’ Umwuka Wera

Ngw’ ab’ impamba y’ ubugingo,

Utugezeyo, twishim’ iteka

Udushorere hose tugenda;

Ni tunanirwa mu nzira,

Uduhembure, Mukiza,

Ubgo tuzapfa, tuzajy’ i Wawe
