Ibiti byaramugannye igihe yabihamagaraga, byunamye,

Bigenda bimugana ku mizingo itagira ibirenge

Nk'aho byanditse imirongo y'ubwiza bw'ubugeni

N'amashami yabyo mu nzira yose

Nk'igicu cyamukurikiraga aho yagendaga hose,

Kimurinda ubushyuhe bukaze bw'izuba rya saa sita

Ndahiriye ku kwezi kwacitsemo kabiri,

Nta gushidikanya bifitanye isano n'umutima we, Indahiro y'ukuri kandi ihire

N'ubwiza n'ubutwari byari mu buvumo,

Mu gihe amaso y'abatemeraga yari impumyi kuri byo

Ukuri n'uw'ukuri byagumye mu buvumo,

Mu gihe abari hanze babwiraga bagenzi babo bati, 'Nta muntu uri muri ubu buvumo.'

Ntabwo bakekaga ko inuma izahagarara itanga uburinzi,

Cyangwa ko isazi izarinda urusobe rwayo ngo ifashe Uwiza mu Byaremwe

Ubwitonzi n'uburinzi by'Imana byaramuhaye, nta mpamvu yo kwifashisha

Amakoti y'icyuma cyangwa ibihome ngo bimumurinde

Igihe cyose ibihe byangiriye nabi, nkamuhungiraho

Nahoraga nsanga umutekano kuri we, ntacyo nabaye

Kandi sinigeze nshaka ubutunzi bw'isi ebyiri mu ntoki ze,

Nta ko ntagize ngo mbone ubugwaneza butangwa n'uwiza mu batanga

Ntukange ibyahishuwe yabonye mu nzozi ze,

Kuko nubwo amaso ye yashoboraga gusinzira, yari afite umutima utasinzaga

Ibyo byari kuva igihe yabaye umuhanuzi,

Kuko inzozi z'uwageze mu gihe cy'ubuhanuzi zidashidikanywaho

Imana ishimwe! Ibyahishuwe ntabwo ari ikintu cy'ubusanzwe,

Kandi ubumenyi bw'umuhanuzi ku bitazwi ntibushidikanywaho

Ni kangahe abarwayi bakize ku gukorwaho n'intoki ze,

Kandi ni kangahe, abari hafi gusara n'umugozi w'ibyaha byabo, Babohowe

Isengesho rye ryazanye ubuzima bushya mu mwaka w'ubutayu bw'ubushye,

Kugira ngo bihagarare mu myaka y'umwijima Nk'ikimenyetso cyera cyiza ku gahanga k'ifarasi

Ibicu byaraguye imvura, kugeza aho watekerezaga

Ko ikibaya cyuzuye amazi ava mu nyanja ifunguye, Cyangwa mu mivu y'ubuvumo bwa 'Arim'
