Rwiyamwa ziga ingaga,
N' umugambi w' ihangu,
Rwa ngoboka ya rugina,
Ingeri ibanza mu rubuga,
Itwara rukikampiri.
Icumu ryo mu ruti rw' indekwe,
Rwavuye i Rusheshe,
Rwiharaze isharankima,
Rwabaye igishami,
Rugasagamba mu ijuri.
Uburyo rwagabye amashami
Aho ruri ni se w' ishyamba
Kandi reka irukunde
Rubamo icumu ryiza
Yarigize umutabazi
Intambara ntiruyita si
Kurya iruhoza mu rugina
Imbuga yarwo iratukura
Ntirukunda gutaha
Rutagwije imitumbi
Yarukubitiye umucuzi
Wakwemerana na rwo
Ngo arukatire icyuma
Rwabimbuye imihigo.
Impuruza ikineshereza
Rwamuje mu nziza
Ari ukwiharira inzigo
Abenshi baragiye Itiro
Rubajyanaho impamba
Aho rugeze ku mpama
Rucinyaho impayamaguru
Y' umushumba wa Mporera
Za mpaka zirakuka
Yaruteye amaramu
Muri bene Murenzi
Rubahina umurumango
Igomba kurwunamura
Yanga ko rwaturika.
Yarukinduje umugabo
Uturuka mu Ruhitambazi
Acyikanga igitutu
Imbuga yaryo iratebera
Abura ubuhamagara abe
Abura umurasira na rimwe
Rwa ruti rumuhirika aho
Ingeri zigicura inkumbi
Yarujyanye mu mbuga
Kurumanza amacibiri
Inkubirane iba iya kabiri
Mu kurembera umuroha
Yabakuye imirambi
N' iyo ibagiriye isoni
Birirwa bayisenga
Ibuhirira nimunsi
Ari ko bahangaza.
Ni uko inkuba zitegeka
Abandi baragira inka mbi
Ingeri zirasuzugura
Ntibazabona izirimo
Ingoro y' Umwogabyano!
