Ku musozi kure har’ umusaraba, Ubabaj’ ukojej’ isoni, Ndawukunda cyane kuko wabambweho, Uwacunguy’ abanyabyaha.

Mbeg’ umusarab’ ab’ isi bahinyuye, Ng’ uranyur’ umutima wanjye! Umwana w’ Intama yarets’ ikuzo rye, Awikorer’ ajy’ i Kalvari.

Umusaraba wavushij’ amaraso, Ya Yesu Umwana w’ Imana, Kuri wo ni h’ Umukiza yatangiye, Maz’ ubwo mbabarirw’ ibyaha.

Kubw’ umusaraba, Nzab’ umunyakuri, Nihanganir’ isoni zawo, Kugez’ ubw’ uzanjyan’ iwacu mw’ ijuru, Tunezeranw’ iteka ryose.
