Bona n’ ubwo ngoswe n’ ibicu, Kandi nkab’ inkehwe, Kandi nkaba ndembejwe n’ amaganya menshi cyane. Gubiramo: Nagira Yesu wenyine, Byose byatamuruka, Ni we zuba ryaka nk’ inyenyeri y’ i Betelehemu.

N’ ubw’ urugendo rwo mw’ isi rwantera gucogora, Najya gusingir’ uburabyo, Ngasingir’ amahwa.

N’ ubw’ umutima wanjye, Wazirikan’ Uwankunze, Bigatuma ngir’ agahinda, Kenshi nkababara.

Nzirikany’ icyubahiro, Ntegereje kwinjira, Navuga Yesu wenyine, Byose byatamuruka.
