Harihw igihugu cyiza cyane

Gituwemo n’ abanezerewe

Nta bgo batinya bomb’ atomike

Baririmb’ indirimbo z’ ishimwe.

(There is a very beautiful country)

(Inhabited by joyful people)

(They do not fear atomic bombs)

(They sing songs of praise.)

2.

Ibyaho byose ni byiza cyane

Har’ uburuhukiro’ bw’ ukuri

Nta magamb’ atey’ ison’ abayo,

Nta n’ imfubyi zihakubitirwa

(Everything there is very good)

(There is true rest)

(No words bring shame to those there,)

(No orphans are mistreated there)

3.

Icyo gihugu si nk’ icyo mw isi

Kukw ibyaho byose bitunganye

Bene Dat’ icyo nifuza n’ iki:

Kuzababonayo muririmba

(That country is not like this one on earth)

(Because everything there is perfect)

(Children of the Father, this is what I desire:)

(To see you there singing)

4.

Mbese ni kiguzi ki dutanga

Kwinjira mur’ uwo murwa mwiza

Nta kiguzi na kimwe twatanga,

Yesu yishyuriy’ i Gologota

(What price do we pay)

(To enter that beautiful city)

(There is no price we could pay,)

(Jesus paid it at Golgotha)
