1. Yehova w’olwanzo,

Muwalagha ’buholo.

Utuhe kirimu kyaghu;

Tw’ighe mibere yaghu.

Itwe ’rikirirya,

’Mo Mwana waghu mwanzwa,

Kyaleka lino itwabya;

Omo bughuma naghu.

2. Omo Kinywa kyaghu

Twasunga kyakakala.

Twasondolwa twateghibwa

’Mo kihugho ky’obubi.

Erihika aho

Amalwa asyahwera,

Utuwatikaye tubye

Itune n’obuholo.

3. Bandu ’bo wanzire,

Waletabo haghuma,

Mo lubula n’ekihugho

Eritula Obwami.

Bwami ’ritabala

Kyasyabughaho malwa.

Nery’abolo basyatsema

Eribya ’mo buholo.
