Mpagaze aha mbona amenyo ya Ruganzu

Mpagaze hano nkubita inkoni yanjye i Buzi

Mpagaze hasi umutwe nywukoza ku ijuru

Mpagaze inaha ndasa kwa myasiro I Burundi

Mpagaze inyuma nibonamo imbere

Mpagaze ku gasozi mbona abagore bambaye impeta bose

Mpagaze ku gasozi ndasa Rugina mu bihaha

Mpagaze ku gasozi nsama ifuro ry'amata

Mpagaze ku gasozi nti bahinzi baho baho

Mpagaze ku gasozi nti bana banjye murizihiwe

Mpagaze ku gasozi nti behu !

Mpagaze ku gasozi nzana ifuro ry'amata

Mpagaze ku manga Imana izaba impa

Mpagaze ku mpinga nti bana banjye hubika

Mpagaze ku ruhiza nyara I Buriza nti Bahinzi nimuhingure

Mpagaze ku rutare mpamagara Majigo nti amata y'abashumba yabuze

Mpagaze mu Rwanda ndeba mu mahanga

Mpagaze mu gahinga mbona Rusengo mu maraka

Mpagaze mu gahinga nyarira ab ‘epfo

Mpagaze mu irembo mbona Bukoramungabo mu nda

Mpagaze mu ishyamba rimpa umwezi

Mpagaze mu mpinga mpenera ab'epfo

Mpagaze mu mpinga ubutogore buramvuna

Mpambye umwe nzura benshi
