Pasaka yacu niy’ itwibutsa

Amaraso y’ Umwana w’ Imana

Ni yo yadukuye mw Egiputa,

Aho Satani yicir’ abantu

Nimuze twese tumuhimbaze

Kuko yemeye kudupfir’ atyo

Yasa tuyemo na rwa rusika

Yatumye natwe twinjir’ ahera

(Our Passover is what reminds us)

(Of the blood of the Son of God)

(It is what brought us out of Egypt,)

(Where Satan was killing people)

(Come, let us all praise Him)

(Because He agreed to die for us like that)

(He tore for us that veil)

(That allowed us to enter the holy place)

I Getsemani Yes’ arasenga Ati:

Data, niba byashoboka

Iki gikombe sinkinywereho

Ariko byose bib’ uk’ ushaka

(In Gethsemane Jesus prayed saying:)

(Father, if it is possible)

(Let this cup pass from me)

(But let everything be as You will)

3.

Umwami Yesu n’ Umucunguzi

Yadupfiriye ku musaraba

Byavuye ku ki? Ku rukundo rwe

Rwatumy’ atanga ubugingo bge

(The Lord Jesus is the Redeemer)

(He died for us on the cross)

(Why? Because of His love)

(That made Him give His life)

Uwagambaniye Yesu Kristo

Kandi yar’ uwo mu bigishwa be

Nya mara yikururiy’ ishyano

Ryatumye yimanika ku giti

(The one who betrayed Jesus Christ)

(Was one of His disciples)

(But he brought trouble upon himself)

(Which made him hang himself on a tree)

Nuko kw isaha ya gatandatu

Hose habah’ ubwirakabiri

Bgafash’ amasah’ atatu yose,

Bgagejeje mw isaha ya cyenda

(So at the sixth hour)

(Everywhere became dark)

(Lasting for three hours,)

(Until the ninth hour)
