Kandi ingondo zimugonyeye ho
Zamurangije mu ngingo.
Asa n'akabande ko mu mpeshyi
Imbyeyi ishima igashira icyusa,
Asa n'amarembo ataha amariza,
Yakebye imongi ziramukwira
Imbugu zitemba mu rwambariro.
Shima umurerwa amaso ataruha.
Asa na kiberinka y'umukwira
Izuba ryinaze rijya mu gicu.
Iyo wamubonye ukamuca iryera
Uramuririmba ukarenza amanywa.
Imbugu zitemba ibitugu byose
Zamuteye ishya mu gituza
Zigeze mu nda zirohoshya.
