Ubuvanganzo bw'umwimerere nyarwanda

Elina nkunda

Elina nkunda wa munsi duhura

Nahise ngukunda

Kubera amagambo meza wambwiye

Yanyuze umutima

Nageze iwacu nimugoroba

Inyana zitaha,

Nkomeza kukwibuka

Ndara ntasinziriye

Kubera wowe Elina nkunda

Ni na yo mpamvu itumye nza kugusura

Ngo tumenyane neza

Kandi twiganirire

Elina nkunda ntazibagirwa } x2

Elina nkunda wantwaye Roho

Aho mba ndihose ni wowe ntekereza

Cyo ngwino shenge umare agahinda

Jyewe icyo nifuza

Ni ukubana na we

Elina tubanye

Uli mwiza cyane                     Elina nkunda

Wandutiye abandi      Elina nkunda

Wantwaye roho                     Elina nkunda

Ni wowe nahisemo     Elina nkunda

Nzagukunda itekae     Elina nkunda } x2
