Ijwi ryumviswe n' abantu

Ijwi ryumviswe n’ abantu

Ribatunguye, riti:

Shimwa, Mana: kuzwa mw isi

Amahor’ abe bose!

Mbes’ izo ndirimbo twumva

Zitangaza n’ iza he ?

Bungeri, n’ abamalayika

Bababgir’ Ubutumwa

Uw’ iyi si yatabaje

Kuko yagwij’ ibyago,

Kuv’ igihe yikoreye

Umutwaro w’ ibyaha,

Umukiza wahanuwe

Wadusezeranijwe,

Uwiringirwa byukuri

Non’ aratuvukiye

Shimwa, Mana ! Kuzwa mw isi !

Amahor’ abe hose !

Urukundo n’ amahoro

Biraduhishuriwe

Hamwe n’ intumwa z’ Imana,

Twese turangurure,

Dushime no gushimisha

Impano y’ Umukiza
