Uhoraho ahoza abarira

1 Indirimbo y’abazamuka bajya i Yeruzalemu.

Igihe Uhoraho yasubizaga Siyoni ishya n’ihirwe,

twe twabonaga ari nk’inzozi!

2 Mbega ukuntu twishimye tugaseka!

Mbega ukuntu twavugije impundu z’urwunge!

Abanyamahanga ni ko gutangara bati:

“Uhoraho yabakoreye ibihambaye!”

3 Koko Uhoraho yadukoreye ibihambaye,

natwe twarishimye.

4 Uhoraho, udusubize ishya n’ihirwe,

nk’uko usubiza amazi mu migezi ya Negebu.

5 Ababiba barira bazasarura bishimye.

6 Ujya kubiba agenda arira yikoreye imbuto,

nyamara iyo agiye gusarura, agaruka yishimye yikoreye imiba.
