Iteka nagendaga

Iteka nagendaga;

Ndemerewe n’ibyaha

Ntihagir’ ikibasha

Kumar’ Umubabaro

Kugeza Ubwo nageze

Ahantu heza cyane

Hangiriy’ umumaro,

Ntazibagirwa Ukundi

Iri n’itangiriro

Ry’umunezero Wanjye;

Aha ni h’ Umutwaro

Wamvuye Ku mugongo

Ku Musaraba mwiza,

Ni h’ Umunt abonera

Abagabo batatu,

Bakamuhumuriza

Ku Musaraba mwiza,

Ni h’ Umunt’ abonera

Urwandiko rw’ijuru

Rutar’urw’itorero

Umugabo nta bgenge

Yagiye nta rwandiko,

Agira ngw azinjira

Nk’ukw’abandi binjira

Nukw’ageze Kw’irembo,

Bamubaz’ urwandiko

Rwa Katanga Ka mbere,

Asanga atarufite

Mu Rubavu Rwa Yesu,

Havuyemw amaraso

Y’uruzi rw’ubugingo

Yoza Umutima Wanjye

Gira Umwete Winjire

Mu Maraso Ya Yesu;

Uzashirahw inenge

Mu Mutima Wanduye
