English translation |
- Rwanda nziza Gihugu cyacu
- Wuje imisozi, ibiyaga n'ibirunga
- Ngobyi iduhetse gahorane ishya.
- Reka tukurate tukuvuge ibigwi
- Wowe utubumbiye hamwe twese
- Abanyarwanda uko watubyaye
- Berwa, sugira, singizwa iteka.
- Horana Imana, murage mwiza
- Ibyo tugukesha ntibishyikirwa;
- Umuco dusangiye uraturanga
- Ururimi rwacu rukaduhuza
- Ubwenge, umutima,amaboko yacu
- Nibigukungahaze bikwiye
- Nuko utere imbere ubutitsa.
- Abakurambere b'intwari
- Bitanze batizigama
- Baraguhanga uvamo ubukombe
- Utsinda ubukoroni na mpatsibihugu
- Byayogoje Afurika yose
- None uraganje mu bwigenge
- Tubukomeyeho uko turi twese.
- Komeza imihigo Rwanda dukunda
- Duhagurukiye kukwitangira
- Ngo amahoro asabe mu bagutuye
- Wishyire wizane muri byose
- Urangwe n'ishyaka, utere imbere
- Uhamye umubano n'amahanga yose
- Maze ijabo ryawe riguhe ijambo.

- Rwanda, notre beau et cher pays
- Paré de collines, de lacs et de volcans
- Mère-patrie, sois toujours comblée de bonheur
- Nous tous tes enfants: Abanyarwanda
- Chantons ton éclat et proclamons tes hauts faits
- Toi, Giron maternel de nous tous
- Sois à jamais admiré, prospère et couvert d’éloges.
- Précieux héritage, que Dieu te protège
- Tu nous as comblés de biens inestimables
- Notre culture commune nous identifie
- Notre unique langue nous unifie
- Que notre intelligence, notre conscience et nos forces
- Te comblent de richesses diversifiées
- Pour un développement sans cesse renouvelé.
- Nos valeureux aïeux
- Se sont donnés corps et âmes
- Jusqu’à faire de toi une grande Nation
- Tu as eu raison du joug colonialo-impérialiste
- Qui a dévasté l’Afrique tout entière
- Et te voici aise de ton indépendance souveraine
- Acquis que sans cesse nous défendrons.
- Maintiens ce cap, Rwanda bien-aimé
- Debout, nous nous engageons pour toi
- Afin que la paix règne dans tout le pays
- Que tu sois libre de toute entrave
- Que ta détermination engage le progrès
- Qu’excellent tes relations avec tous les pays
- Et qu’enfin ta fierté te vaille estime.
