lyrics
INZOZI
Imana imana
Mana y’irwanda nsingize imana se bagenzi
Imana niyi nkuru
Imanaiterara amapfa burya
Ni nayo itanga aho bahahira
Nyabusa bana banjye nimuhumure
Impumbya zababyeyi turi kumwe
Mbafatiyeiryiburyo
Kandi umusibo nejo
Ejo bundi nzakabya inzozi yehe
Urubyiruko rw’urwanda
Bafasha ingabo hasi
Hirya no hino y’imipaka
Bati bashishwa nabi barakanyagwa
Ubonye ngo baduteranye tumarane
Dushyamirane nkabanzi
Kandi tuva inda imwe yehehe
Mumpinga ndende ihanitse cyane
Irengeye urwanda rugari rwa gasabo
Impundu ari nyinshi ni imihigo
Maze ngo imbaga yose y’inyabutatu
Mw’ijwi rimwe risa riranguruye
Bati hehe amatage
Ngo ntitugane ingoma bihumbi
