Ubuvanganzo bw'umwimerere nyarwanda

Rubundakumazi

Rubundakumazi iyo ugiye unywa nkeya

Ko wanyishe nabi uko utashye ugahonda

Iyo nywa ugasinda witesha agaciro

N’abana wabyaye bakaguseka

Uva mu runywero ugatara amagambo

Byalimba ugahonda nk’uhonda imbwa yiba

Ugacira mu maso, ugatera amakofe

Ugatora ibibando ugatimbagura

Njye ntabwo nkilyama narembeye mu nzu

Indwara narwaye yambayemo iminsi

Watora ifaranga ukajya kurinywera

Wataha ugahonda nyiramiruho

Rubundakumazi, ko usinda ukarwana

Wabyuka ugasanga utabasha kuhinga

Abana wabyaye ko nta kibatunze

Bazicwa na bwaki kubera wowe

Rubundakumazi nakwemeye kera

Kubera urukundo nari nagukunze

Urwawe rukundo maze kurureba

Ngiye kugwa iwacu ube amahoro

Rubundakumazi ko wanyishe nabi

Uko utashye ugahonda nyiramiruho

Iyo unywa ugasinda witesha agaciro

N’abana wabyaye bakaguseka
