Rwanda nziza Gihugu cyacu

Wuje imisozi ibiyaga n'ibirunga

Ngobyi iduhetse gahorane ishya

Reka tukurate tukuvuge ibigwi

Wowe utubumbiye hamwe twese

Abanyarwanda uko watubyaye

Berwa sugira singizwa iteka

Horana Imana murage mwiza

Ibyo tugukesha ntibishyikirwa

Umuco dusangiye uraturanga

Ururimi rwacu rukaduhuza

Ubwenge umutima amaboko yacu

Nibigukungahaze bikwiye

Nuko utere imbere ubutitsa

Abakurambere b'intwari

Bitanze batizigama

Baraguhanga uvamo ubukombe

Utsinda ubukoroni na mpatisbihugu

Byayogoje Afurika yose

None uraganje mu bwigenge

Tubukomeyeho uko turi twese

Komeza imihigo Rwanda dukunda

Duhagurukiye kukwitangira

Ngo amahoro asabe mu bagutuye

Wishyire wizane muri byose

Urangwe n'ishyaka utere imbere

Uhamye umubano n'amahanga yose

Maze ijabo ryawe riguhe ijambo
