lyrics

BEZA MWE LYRICS with English Translation

Gaju ngabire nagabiwe
(Gaju, my precious gift)
Kibondo cyanjye
(My dear child)
Uri umunezero wanjye
(You are my blissful joy)
Nzagukunda akaramata (I will love you forever
Nguteteshe bishyire kera (Always make you happy
Ngutoze ubupfura
(Expose you to noble behavior
Gaju wanjye
(My Gaju
Nzakuririmbira ibihozo (I will sing you lullabies Ngushyire nyogokuru
(Take you to see Grandma
Maze ukunde utone utoneshwe
(She will spoil you to become joyful and her beloved granddaughter
Nawe uzemere ukure uri umwali muziranenge
(You, too, Accept to grow up to be an impeccable lady
Chorus:
Bana banjye
(My dear children
Yemwe beza mwe (You the beautiful ones
Kubagira biranyizihira (Having you fills me with joy
Kubabyara ni umugisha ntagereranywa (Giving birth to you was incomparable blessing to me Mukure mukundana
(Grow up loving each other
Kandi muzitonde
(And make sure to be well-behaved
Mungire mbagire beza mweeee
(May you have me to make you all beautiful

VERSE 2
Juru rya mwiza
(Heaven for the beautiful one
Nkunda urwagahebuzo (My love for you is incomparable
Iyizire shenge kwitetero (Come my dear, come where happiness is found
Inseko yawe ihora insusurutsa (Your laughter always warms up my heart
Ntuzasuherwa nkuri iruhande (You’ll never be cold when I am by your side
Uri akara ko mu bura bwanjye (You are a flesh of my flesh
Ubu ndi Umubyeyi wuje urukundo (I am a mother full of love
Ubupfura ngutoza, uzabugire ipfundo (Practice the principles i display and teach you
Ry’ibango ry’ibanga ry’ubugwaneza (to the core of the secret of compassion
Njye nkwise Juru mucyo wera (As for me, I have called you Heaven-i.e. Juru, pure light
.
Chorus:
Bana banjye
(My dear children
Yemwe beza mwe (You the beautiful ones
Kubagira biranyizihira (Having you fills me with joy
Kubabyara ni umugisha ntagereranywa (Giving birth to you was incomparable blessing to me Mukure mukundana
(Grow up loving each other
Kandi muzitonde
(And make sure to be well-behaved
Mungire mbagire beza mweeee
(May you have me to make you all beautiful
