Mana, turategereje

Tumugusabye twizeye;

Mutwoherereze, Mana,

Mana yacu, Mana yacu,

Woherez’ Umwuka wawe

Mu mitima yacu twese,

Twuzuriz’ isezerano

(God, we are waiting)

(To receive Your Spirit)

(We have asked You in faith;)

(Send Him to us, O God,)

(Our God, our God,)

(Send Your Spirit)

(Into all our hearts,)

(Fulfill the promise)

Wonger’ ucan’ umuriro,

Mu mitima yacu twese

Ibitagushimishije,

(Kindle again the fire,)

(In all our hearts)

(What does not please You,)

(Burn it with fire)

Duh’ imitim’ iboneye,

(And heal the sick also,)

(That they may know You, God)
