1. Noha ow’ogonza?

Enganjani yaawe?

Noha munywani wawe mali?

Ow’orukwesiga?

Nubo abakwata,

Ekigambo kyawe,

Boona abagonza ’mananu,

Kandi abesigwa.

2. Noha ow’ogonza?

Araikara naiwe?

Noha mali akusemeza?

N’omanyi ’bara lye?

Boona ’bakuramya,

Nibakworobera,

Boona ababaza ’mananu,

Kandi abesigwa.

3. Nitukunagira,

Emigugu yaitu,

Nitugonza kwikara tuli,

Abanywani baawe.

Tuli bantu baawe;

Mali n’otufaaho.

Niiwe munywani akukira,

Abanywani boona.
