Umuriro wawe Mukiza,(Your fire, Savior,)

Twese turashak’ uwo muriro wawe(We all want Your fire)

Dor’ uko tugusaba: Mana,(See how we pray to You: God,)

Can’ uwo muriro mu mitima yacu(Kindle that fire in our hearts)

Twes’ ubu tur’ imbere yawe,(We are all now before You,)

Uduh’ Umwuka wawe Mana,(Give us Your Spirit, God,)

Duhabge Pentekote yacu(May we have our Pentecost)

Twes’ ubu dutegerej’ uwo muriro(We are all now waiting for that fire)

2.

Mana, twiteho kand’ utwumve,(God, pay attention to us and hear us,)

Twese turasab’ uwo muriro wawe(We all ask for Your fire)

Turakwinginga dukomeje,(We earnestly plead,)

Can’ uwo muriro mu mitima yacu(Kindle that fire in our hearts)

Dukwiriy’ imbaraga zawe(We need Your power)

Mu bitugerageza byose(In all that tests us)

Ni zo’ zizaduha kunesha,(It is what will give us victory,)

Twes’ ubu dutegerej’ uwo muriro(We are all now waiting for that fire)

Dor’ imitima yos’ ikonje,(See how all hearts are cold,)

Irashaka ko wayih’uwo muriro(They want You to give them that fire)

Ibyo dukennye mu mitima,(What we lack in our hearts,)

Byakizwa n’ uko waduh’ uwo muriro(Would be healed if You gave us that fire)

Jy’ ubwanjye nta cyo nashobora(On my own I can do nothing)

Cyampesha gutsinda Satani(That would make me defeat Satan)

Ariko nseng’ Imana mvuga;(But I pray to God saying;)

Can’ uwo muriro mu mutima wanjye(Kindle that fire in my heart)

Ndagusab’ umuriro Mwami,(I ask You for fire, Lord,)

Ngo nshobore kubwiriza mu rukundo(So that I may preach with love)

Ndashak’ uwo muriro wawe,(I want Your fire,)

Kugira ngo ngir’ umwete n’ ubutwari(So that I may have zeal and courage)

Nshyiz’ umutima wanjye wose(I place my whole heart)

Ku ruhimbi rw’ Imana yanjye(On the altar of my God)

None Man’ iryo turo ntuye,(Now God, the offering I have placed,)

Ryemerer’ urih’ uwo muriro wawe(Accept it and consume it with Your fire)
