Na none niberwe
Ayigire intindo,
Ayitegeke nka Rwuma,
Maze ive mu rweguriro zirishe.
Nirembe ayigire insiso
Ayisenyere ijabiro,
Ijabo rishire
Izaze akuya kayirenze,
Yicuza ayo yakoze,
Ikungagizwa mu myiri bayinyaze.
Nimuyihe rugari
Yibonere ho Ruhangwa-mbone
Izaza yumva amatare
Ayivuga mu mutwe,
Mu mpinga ya Butare
Amatwi yazibiranye mu minyago,
Mutukura* itekanye na Mukesha-jabiro.
Nimuyihe rugari
Yibonere ho Ruhangwa-mbone
Izaza ishorejwe amacumu
Mu mpinga ya Gatsibo,
Amacumu yabaye inkwaruro.
Maze ishime ko itagira ubwami
I Bwanga-guhuma kwa Gahaya,
Ubwo yisunze izina
Ritagira amarengero,
Amajyo azayibera amabuye.
Nimuyihe rugari
Yibonere ho Ruhangwa-mbone
Izaza yumva insengo
Zivuga iwacu mu ngoro,
Umurya-senge uyirya
Yabuze amaboko,
Yakwishima mu gihumbi.
Izaba yayakonje Mutukura
Yayageretse ku ya Mutaga w'i Nkanda. .../...
