Umucamanza nagera, Akarondor’ ibyacu, Tuzamera nk’ izahabu, Cyangwa s’ inkamb’ itabwa?

Mbese tuzumv’ ishimwe ngo: Nuko, wakoze neza; Cyangw’ iteka ryo gupfa ngo: Mwasanzwe mudashyitse?

Nimutyo twite kw’ ijwi rye, Igihe kikiriho. Tureke gutindiganya, Tumaramaze rwose.
Gusubiramo
Naratuwe mu gipimo,
Nsangwa ntashyitse;
Naratuwe n’ ijambo rye,
Nsangwa ntashyitse.
