Bana mw ijur’ abiringiy’ Umucunguzi

Bana mw ijur’ abiringiy’ Umucunguzi

Tuzaherway’ ibintu byinshi

Azaduh’ amakamba y’ ubgiza bginshi,

Kand’ atwambik’ imyenda yera

Tuzagendagenda mu muhanda wakozwe

Mw izahabu n’ ifeza nyinshi;

Kandi Yesu ni We zuba ryaho ryiza:

Nta n’ ijoro riba mw ijuru

Twe n’ abera bose tuzacurang’ inanga,

Turirimbir’ Umwami Yesu;

Tuyhanywere n’ amazi y’ Uruzi rwiza,

Dusiz’ urupfu n’ amakuba

Muze mwese, tujyan’ iyi nzir’ ifunguye,

mumuhay’ imitima yanyu

Nimuyoboke mwes’ Uwabapfiriye,

Abagezey’ abanezeze
