Umuriro wawe Mukiza,

Twese turashak’ uwo muriro wawe

Dor’ uko tugusaba: Mana,

Can’ uwo muriro mu mitima yacu

Twes’ ubu tur’ imbere yawe,

Uduh’ Umwuka wawe Mana,

Duhabge Pentekote yacu

Twes’ ubu dutegerej’ uwo muriro

(Your fire, Savior,)

(We all want Your fire)

(See how we pray to You: God,)

(Kindle that fire in our hearts)

(We are all now before You,)

(Give us Your Spirit, God,)

(May we have our Pentecost)

(We are all now waiting for that fire)

2.

Mana, twiteho kand’ utwumve,

Twese turasab’ uwo muriro wawe

Turakwinginga dukomeje,

Can’ uwo muriro mu mitima yacu

Dukwiriy’ imbaraga zawe

Mu bitugerageza byose

Ni zo’ zizaduha kunesha,

Twes’ ubu dutegerej’ uwo muriro

(God, pay attention to us and hear us,)

(We all ask for Your fire)

(We earnestly plead,)

(Kindle that fire in our hearts)

(We need Your power)

(In all that tests us)

(It is what will give us victory,)

(We are all now waiting for that fire)

3.

Dor’ imitima yos’ ikonje,

Irashaka ko wayih’uwo muriro

Ibyo dukennye mu mitima,

Byakizwa n’ uko waduh’ uwo muriro

Jy’ ubwanjye nta cyo nashobora

Cyampesha gutsinda Satani

Ariko nseng’ Imana mvuga;

Can’ uwo muriro mu mutima wanjye

(See how all hearts are cold,)

(They want You to give them that fire)

(What we lack in our hearts,)

(Would be healed if You gave us that fire)

(On my own I can do nothing)

(That would make me defeat Satan)

(But I pray to God saying;)

(Kindle that fire in my heart)

Ndagusab’ umuriro Mwami,

Ngo nshobore kubwiriza mu rukundo

Ndashak’ uwo muriro wawe,

Kugira ngo ngir’ umwete n’ ubutwari

Nshyiz’ umutima wanjye wose

Ku ruhimbi rw’ Imana yanjye

None Man’ iryo turo ntuye,

Ryemerer’ urih’ uwo muriro wawe

(I ask You for fire, Lord,)

(So that I may preach with love)

(I want Your fire,)

(So that I may have zeal and courage)

(I place my whole heart)

(On the altar of my God)

(Now God, the offering I have placed,)

(Accept it and consume it with Your fire)
