R/ Nyagasani, girira ikuzo ryawe maze udutabare.

Mana, abanyamahanga barakurengereye,

bahumanije Ingoro yawe ntagatifu,

Yeruzalemu bayihinduye amatongo.

Imirambo y’abagaragu bawe,

bayigaburiye ibisiga byo mu kirere;

imibiri y’abayoboke bawe,

bayigaburira inyamaswa zo ku gasozi.

Amaraso yabo bayamennye nk’umuvu w’amazi,

mu mpande zose za Yeruzalemu,

kandi nta wasigaye ngo abahambe.

Abaturanyi bacu baradutuka;

mbese Uhoraho, uzarakara na ryari ?

Ishyari ryawe se rizakomeza rigurumane nk’umuriro ?

Ntuduhore ibicumuro by’abasekuruza bacu,

udusanganize bwangu impuhwe zawe,

kuko tugeze ahaga !

Dutabare, Mana y’agakiza kacu,

ugiriye ikuzo ry’izina ryawe ;

turokore, maze utubabarire ibyaha byacu,

ugiriye izina ryawe.
