Dukanguke, dukanguke !

Dukanguke, dukanguke !

Dukor’ imirimo cyane,

Twitange, tub’ igitambo

Cyo guhimbaz’ Uwiteka

Kera twagirag’ ubute;

None, reka tubwihane,

Dukorer’ Imana yacu,

Dufit’ umwet’ ukwiriye

Ahar’ uyu muns’ urupfu

Rwaza, rukadutungura

Cyangwa Yesu yagaruka

Bisange dukiranutse

Twang’ uburiganya bwose,

Twibuke yuk’ Uwiteka

Areb’ ibyo mu mitima

Kand’ atagir’ icy’ ahishwa

Nkukw Imana yaduhaye

Izuba ryo kutuvira,

Tumurikir’ abafIte

Umwijima mu mitima

Dukanguke, tuyishime,

Turirimban’ indirimbo

N’ abayishimir’ iteka

Mw ijuru no mw isi yose

MukIza, turakangutse !

Utwuzuz’ Umwuka wawe,

Dushimish’ Imana yacu

Amagambo n’ imirimo
