Ubuvanganzo bw'umwimerere nyarwanda

Iwacu

Navukiye i Rwanda,

Ngasa n'uba i Buraya,

Umuriro n'amazi

Byibera mu rukuta,

Sinzi umunoga

Sinzi n'agatadowa,

Yebaba Mawe na Dawe

Muzanyereke u Rwanda.

Mbe tante dupfana iki?

Naho oncle we ni nde?

Ba cousins dupfana iki?

Beau frère ni muntu ki?

Oya se kandi,

Oya rwose ndababaye,

Nzibariza Sogokuru

Ninsura Nyogokuru.

Nzasura abakambwe

Nimenyere ibyaho,

Ninywere ku byo banywa

Dusangire ku byo barya,

Inombe n'umushogoro

Isogi n'igisusa,

Ndire ku mbehe

Yogeshejwe imonyi.

Mfate isuka njye kurima

Nsarurire mu bigega,

Ibitebo n'imitiba, I

kidasesa n'urutaro,

Ndore ingasire n'urusyo

Umuhini n'isekuru,

Urukebano n'umuvure,

Nenge nywe ku gikatsi.

Inkoko n'umwuko,

Nanzike nywe rutuku,

Umuhoro n'indyabiti

Inkongoro n'igicuma,

Menye incyamuro,

Menye n'umujyojyo,

Nibohere icyibo,

Nshundire mu gisabo.

Nzinywera ku marwa

Dutaramiye mu kirambi,

Nirebera mu mbari

Munsi y'urusenge,

Inyuma ari ku rutara,

Hino mu mfuruka,

Hirya ho ni mu mbere,

Ngo habayo n'uruhimbi.

Banyereke urusika,

Nirebere inyegamo,

Urubariro n'umwashi,

Imyugariro n'inkingi,

Menye kanagazi,

Ndetse na mbonabihita,

Ifuni n'imbugita,

Uruhindu nicyansi.

Menye imigani yaho,

Kirazira n'ibisakuzo,

Ngo uwicaye ku ityazo

Ntarara ngo aramuke,

Ngo uraye mu isekuru

Bucya ahindura igitsina,

Ngo akavumburamashyiga

Gashyigura utaryama.

Nzafasha nyogokuru

Imirimo imugora,

Nzatashya navome

Nase inkwi nzicane,

Mwahirire ishinge

Nzajye no kurahura,

Nzakoranye mu ziko

Mvumbike n'umuriro.

Nzaca n'ubusuna,

Nibohere umushanja,

Urugaga n'urutamyi,

Nibohere igiseke,

Nahure inyana

Nzicire n'icyarire,

Nizigera mu ruhongore

Nshanire rusengo.

Nzibwirira urungano

Twibyinire iby'iwacu,

Ibinimba umudiho,

Dushayaye iby'iwacu,

Tubyine kamwe nk'aka,

Umucucu wirenge,

Urwiririza na Manzi,
