Yesu yaje kunshaka

Yesu yaje kunshaka,

Ndi kure, nzimiye,

Anshyira ku bitugu

Nukw arantarura !

Maz’ abamarayika be

Baririmba basingiza

Yasanze nkomeretse,

Nukw aranyomora

Ampumurira neza

At’ Ur’ uwanjye ko !

Sinari numv’ ijwi nk’ iryo,

Nduhuka mu mutim’ ubgo

Anyereka n’ inkovu

Zo mu biganza bye,

N’ izatewe n’ amahwa

Zo mu ruhanga rwe

Nibaz’ icyo yambonyemo,

Cyatumye yihangan’ atyo!

None, tuban’ iteka;

Mu maso he hera

Hamvir’ umucyo mwinshi,

Uhor’ unyobora;

Amp’ ibikwiriye byose;

Mbur’ uko mbimushimira

Nduhutse mu mutima,

Amp’ amahoro ye

Iteka ntegereje

Umuns’ azazaho,

Antahukan’ angez’ i We

Anguze n’ amaraso ye
