about

UBUTUMWA. Exclusive new track - The testimony of the artist's brother, a victim of the Genocide against the Tutsi. Ubutumwa is a moving heart-gripping song describing her brother's emotions and fears as he is pursued by the killing militia, hidden behind a bush, he can hear the babies crying, the stampede of people running away. The emotions of a victim just a few minutes before his killer caught him. A tale of many victims that most of the Rwandan genocide survivors can relate to.

lyrics

UBUTUMWA


Iyi ndirimbo s’amaganya
Iyi ndirimbo s’amarira
Iyi ndirimbo niyo kwibuka nimpamo

Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Iyi ndirimbo s’amaganya
Dore imyaka yarikubye isaga icumi
Ngiy’ibumbye makumya
Makumyabiri n’impamo

Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Iyi ndirimbo n’ubutumwa
Ng’iyo agira akanya gato
Aba yarabyivugiye n’impamo

Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Iryavugwaga ngiryo ryaratashye
Ya genocide yabay’impamo
Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Ngubw’ubutumwa
Ejo ntagira ntya nkiyandurukira
Nkaba ntengushye uko ngana uku

Ye baba we
Ye mana we


Inyikirizo
Ngo murabeho,ngo murabeho
Ngo murabeho musigare amahoro
Ngo muramenye ntimuzabe imbwa
Umugambi numwe urukundo rw’urwanda
No kuzahora mwibuka

Ndumva imirindi ndumva amasasu
Ndumva induru n’imioborogo
Abana bararira abandi barataka we
Ayiwe mbagire nte

Ye baba we
Ye mana we


Murabeho se babyeyi mwabyaye
Urabeho se mukunzi twabyaranye
Abana beza basa niwabo
Ubamenye nabo bazakumenyere

Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Ndabona ibyuma uko biraby’indimi
Ndabona imihoro ndabona amahiri
Imihini isonga abagihirita
Ngayo amashoka yashotse rubanda
Bashinyitse amenyo bakanuye amaso
Baramena amraso nkabayavoma
Cyangwa se uboshye amazi y’umugezi

Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Murabeho se bavandimwe banjye
Murabeho namwe nshuti twabanye
Twasangiye akabisi nagahiye
Umugambi numwe urukundo rw’urwanda
No kuzahora mwibuka

Narushye kurara mbunda bunda
Narushye kwihisha uboshye igisambo
Narushye ibihuru n’ibishugunda
Namahwa ampanda anshishimura
Narushye kurara butunda
Munsi y’urugo iwanjye
Narushye iyi nyota, narushye iri rungu
Narushye ububwoba,narushye uyu mujinya
Naka gahinda, ngabo baraje nduhuke
Ye baba we
Ye mana we

Inyikirizo
murabeho, murabeho
murabeho musigare amahoro
muramenye ntimuzabe imbwa
Umugambi numwe urukundo rw’urwanda
No kuzahora mwibuka

Iryavugwaga ngiryo ryaratashye
Ya genocide yatwahutsemo

Ye baba we
Ye mana we
Ndumva urupfu runjyana runjyana
Nabwo ubuzima buncika buncika

Ye baba we
Ye mana we
