lyrics

Isoko y’urukundo
Ruzira iherezo
Niyo ihora isuma
Ikazira umwuma
Nirwo Rusendera umutima wanjye
Ugasusuruka ijoro n’umunsi
Rugira rurema yararuhanze
Urwo rukundo ntirugereranywa
Kuko rusumba ibiremwa byose
Ninayo mpano, Rurema yacu
Yaduhitiyemo ikayitugabira
Isumba zose ntigereranywa
Uwayibonye ahorana ihirwe

Inyikirizo:
Ny’impuhwe, ny’ibihe
Nyagaani nzakuririmba (X2)

Igitero cya kabiri:
Imana yonyine niyo buhungiro
Ihoza imitima ibabaye, ikaruhuka
Yomora imitima yakomeretse, igatuza
Iyo soko itemba amazi y’urubogobogo
Niyo yanyejeje nari narahindanye
Niyo nabonyemo urumuri rushya
Maze umugisha w’ubumuntu
Nawo urakunda urasakara.

Igitero cya gatatu:
Nyir’ibambe n’ubudahangarwa
Niwe wankuye mw’icuraburindi
Angirira impuhwe angarura ibuntu
Ampa n’ingabo y’umutamenwa
Ari nayo inkingira buri munsi
Niho nkomora imbaraga nyinshi
Mporana iteka, zikanshoboza
Niho nkomora imbaraga nyinshi
Mporana iteka, zikanshoboza

Inyikirizo:
Ny’impuhwe, ny’ibihe
Nyagaani nzakuririmba (X2)

Ayiwe!! Nyagasani, uri intungane
Intunganeeee
Singizwa singizwa, Uri intungane
