Dor’ inzira nziz’ ijya mw ijuru

Dor’ inzira nziz’ ijya mw ijuru

Ic’ aho yabambwe ku Musaraba;

Yayibwiy’ umwambuz’ umwe wihannye,

Ashir’ agahinda, arakizwa

Tuzakizwa na nde tutizeye

Umukiza wacu wadupfiriye ?

Yagiz’ agahinda k’ abarimbuka,

Atang’ ubugingo, ngw abakize

Nimukizwe mwese kurimbuka,

Mugir’ ubugingo bw’ abakijijwe,

Mwizigir’ Imana yabacunguye,

Muyiture byose kubwa Yesu

Dor’ uko mu Rwanda barimbuka !

Mubabwir’ imana yac’ ibakize,

Tuzahanwe na bo kuba mw ijuru,

Nta gahinda kose, nta kwicuza

Wa Musaraba we, ndakwifuza !

Waneshej’ urupfu rwic’ ab’ iyi si;

Watsinz’ i kuzimu n’ ibibabaza,

Uduhindura kub’ umunt’ umwe !
