Aho uruzi aba bana
Bakureba ku jisho
Bakabura icyo bavuga
Kuko mukuru wabo
Abacitse bamurora!
Iri tuza rikabije
Rikubajije icyo uri cyo
Basubize utabeshya!
Itegereze umubyeyi
Wavunitse agutwite,
Wavuka akakonsa,
Agahinga aguhetse,
Akavoma aguhetse,
Agatashya aguhetse,
Agateka aguhetse,
Umurinde agahinda
Ko kubura icyo abyaye
Ngo aririre mu myotsi.
III. Maheru arasohoka
Asa n'ubuze ijambo.
Akomeza imbere ye ajya ku irembo.
Akebuka hepfo abona urutoke,
Ubwo arakeberanya mu gikari,
Abona imizinga ivuza ubuhuha.
Ntiyahagarara ngo zitamwumva
Zikamucengeza mo urubori.
Akebura intambwe ajya mu ikawa.
Ubwo agasusuruko karababiriye,
Ndetse akazuba karamukubise,
Agumya kubunga agana agacucu.
Muli iyo kawa y'isaso nyinshi
Hakaba mo igiti gikuze neza,
Cyarakabije kirizihirwa,
Ururabo ruragwa hajya ibitumbwe,
Bijya guhisha ntibyasigana
Maze uwo mwana akibona bwangu,
Yika bugufi ahina umugongo
Agishyika mu nsi ahamara umwanya
Amaso yombi arayagihanga,
Umutima utekereza ibyo hirya. .../...
