Nifuza cyane kuzagera

Muri wa murwa wo mw ijuru

Mbasezeyeho bantu mwese

Mushaka gukorer’ iyi si

Muri wa murwa w’ ubugingo

Duteraniyeyo n’ abera;

Tuzabone ray’ Umukiza

Tuzanezererway’ iteka

(I deeply desire to arrive)

(In that city of heaven)

(I bid farewell to all of you people)

(Who want to serve this world)

(In that city of life)

(We will gather there with the saints;)

(We will see the Savior there)

(We will rejoice there forever)

2.

Ntihazageray’ amarira

Muri wa murwa wo mw ijuru

Urupfu ntiru zahagera

Mu murwa w’ amahor’ iteka

(Tears will not reach there)

(In that city of heaven)

(Death will not reach there)

(In the city of eternal peace)

3.

Ibyago ntibizahagera

Muri wa murwa wo mw ijuru

Agahinda n’ imibabaro

Nta bwo biba mur’ uwo murwa

(Troubles will not reach there)

(In that city of heaven)

(Sadness and suffering)

(They will not be in that city)

4.

Tuzasangay’ inshuti zacu,

Zatu banzirije mw ijuru

Ubwo turamuts’ Umukiza,

Tuvuz’ impundu turirimba

(We will meet our friends,)

(Who went before us to heaven)

(When we greet the Savior,)

(We will shout with joy and sing)
