lyrics

Babyeyi

Babyeyi mwabyaye mwe
Nimumfashe nihoreze abana we
Nihoreze abana
Nihoreze imfubyi we he
Zazize abagome babicanyi
Bakoze amarorerwa
Nihoreze abana we
Intimba nishavu nagahinda
Badahogora naje

Ref: nihoreze abana we(X3)

Harimo abincuke we
Udukuru tw’abakiri mu mugongo
Bacutse imbura gihe
Babakuye kw’ibere we
Babavanye no munda zabanyina
Babajugunya kugasozi
Barimo ababangavu
N’uduhungu dushaka gusoreka
Bavukijwe ubwana
Bakingiye amaboko we
Barebye amaguru baratema
Babasiga kugasozi

Mwindebana ikiniga
Ntabatanga guturika nkarira
Nari naje kubahoza
Ahobwo murekure icyo kiniga
Nayo marira ababunga mumaso
Turayabahanagura
Mbegeke mugiguza
Nkorakore ibyo bisage byanyu
Nanjye ndi nyoko wanyu
