Ump’ akanya, Yesu, nze nkwegere,

Kuko naniriwe mur’ iyi si

Ndetse no mu gihe cy’ i ntambara,

Na bgo Mwami, ujy’ ump’ amahoro

Ump’ akanya, Yesu, nze nkwegere,

Kuk’ umwijim’ ukabije mw isi

Icyo nkeneye n’ ukukwegera

Kugira ngo numv’ ijambo ryawe

(Give me a moment, Jesus, let me draw near to You,)

(Because I am weary in this world)

(Even in times of warfare,)

(Still, Lord, give me peace)

(Give me a moment, Jesus, let me draw near to You,)

(Because the darkness is intense in the world)

(What I need is to draw near to You)

(So that I may hear Your word)

2.

Ump’ akanya, Yesu, nze nkwegere

Mu bingerageza n’ amakuba

Ni wowe buhungiro nizeye

Mu gihe cy’ akaga mur’ iyi si

(Give me a moment, Jesus, let me draw near to You)

(In trials and troubles)

(You are the refuge I trust)

(In times of danger in this world)

3.

Ump’ akanya, Yesu, nze nkwegere

Kuko wanyikorerey’ ibyaha

Ndumva nshaka kukubwira byose

Kuko, Mwami, nizeye k’ unyumva

(Give me a moment, Jesus, let me draw near to You)

(Because You atoned for my sins)

(I want to tell You everything)

(Because, Lord, I believe You hear me)
