Abantu bose batuye mw isi
Ni bo bahawe Noeli
Ntidushobora kuzibagirwa
Iyo Noeli twahawe
Noeli nziza! Noeli nziza!
Nimu ze twese tuyiririmbe!
Niy’ itwibuts’ agakiza kacu
Noeli nziza ni Yesu
(All the people living on earth)
(Are given Christmas)
(We cannot forget)
(This Christmas given to us)
(Beautiful Christmas! Beautiful Christmas!)
(Come, let us all sing about it!)
(It reminds us of our salvation)
(Beautiful Christmas is Jesus)
N’ igitangaza kukw abashumba
Batanz’ abandi Noeli
Nta cyubahiro bari bafite,
Nyamar’ Iman’ ikor’ ityo
(It is a wonder that the shepherds)
(Were the first given Christmas)
(They had no status,)
(Yet God does it that way)
N’ igitangaza kuk’ uwo mwana
Yavukiye mu nzu y’ inka
Natw’ abakene turashobora
Kuririmbira Noeli
(It is a wonder that that child)
(Was born in a cattle shed)
(We the poor too can)
(Sing about Christmas)
Mur’ iryo joro ritey’ ukwaryo
Ryaririmbwe na maraika Bat’:
Icyubahiro n’ icy’ Imana
Nay’ amahor’ abe mw isi
(In that night of wonder)
(It was sung by angels, saying:)
(Glory belongs to God)
(And peace be on earth)
Kand’ uwo mwana nubwo yavutse
Si bose bamwakiriye
Nyamara bose bamwakiriye
Babay’ abana b’ Imana
(And that child, though He was born)
(Not everyone received Him)
(Yet all who received Him)
(Became children of God)
