Ubwenge bwanjye budashobotse bwanze kumva inama

Yatanzwe n'ubusaza n'imvi zaje zitunguranye

Kandi ntibwateguye ibikorwa byiza byo kwakira neza

Uyu mushyitsi waje ku mutwe wanjye atunguranye

Iyo nza kumenya ko ntashobora kumwakira mu cyubahiro,

Nari guhisha ibanga ryanjye kuri we n'irangi

Ni nde ushobora guhagarika umutima wanjye w'igihubutsi mu makosa yawo,

Nk'uko amafarashi y'ishyanga afatirwa mu nzigo n'imigozi?

Ntukagerageze kumena ibyifuzo byayo ujya mu cyaha,

Ubugugu bw'umunyabiryo buriyongera gusa n'ibyo kurya

Umubiri ni nk'umwana, niba utamwitayeho neza, Azakura akunda konka;

Ariko iyo umaze kumwonsa, azaba yaravuyemo

Nuko wirinde ibyifuzo byawo, wirinde kubireka bitwara, Kuko iyo ibyifuzo byafashe umwanya,

Bizica cyangwa bizazana isoni

Komeza umwiteho igihe ari mu murima w'ibikorwa,

Kandi niba asanze urwuri rwiza cyane, ntumureke arire nta nkomyi

Ni kangahe ibyishimo byica byagaragaye neza,

Ku muntu utazi ko hari uburozi mu binure

Irinde imitego y'inzara n'ibyuzuye,

Kuko inda y'ubusa ishobora kuba mbi kurusha kurya birenze

Sukura amarira mu maso yarengewe n'ibintu bibujijwe,

Kandi kuva ubu, ifunguro ryawe ryonyine ribe kwicuza

Hindukira ku mubiri n'ubushukanyi – kandi ubihinyure,

Niba baguhaye inama, jya ubishidikanya

Ntukabumvire, niba barwanya cyangwa baza guca imanza,

Kuko ubu uzi amayeri y'abashindana n'abacamanza

Nsaba imbabazi z'Imana ku byo mvuga ntakora,

Nk'aho nari nashingiye urubyaro ku muntu utabyara

Nagutumye gukora ibyiza, ariko sinakurikije inama yanjye,

Sinari ku murongo, none se ni ikihe cyiza cyanjye kukubwira ngo 'Ube ku murongo!'

Sinateguye amasengesho y'ubushake mbere y'uko urupfu runjyana,

Nta nubwo nasenze cyangwa nisibije birenze ibyo nari nsabwa
