Ur’ Uwer’ Uwera, Mwami Mana yacu,
Kare mugitondo tukuririmbire:
Ur’ umunyambarag’ ur’ umunyebambe;
Ur’ ubutat’ uri n’ Iman’ imwe
(You are Holy, Holy, Lord our God,)
(Early in the morning we sing to You:)
(You are the Creator, You are the Sustainer;)
(You are eternal and God alone)
Ur’ Uwer’ Uwera; dor’ abera bose,
Baguhimbazanya n’ abamalayika,
Tukuramye, Mwami, wahozeho kera,
Kand’ uriho, kand’ uzahoraho
(You are Holy, Holy; behold all the saints,)
(They praise You with the angels,)
(We worship You, Lord, who existed before,)
(And who is, and who will be forever)
Ur’ Uwer’ Uwera, kand’ ubgiza bgawe
Burut’ uko bgarebga n’ abacumuye,
Ni wowe wenyine wer’ urusha bose
Ubuntu no gutungana kose
(You are Holy, Holy, and Your glory)
(Surpasses what is seen by sinners,)
(You alone are greater than all)
(In goodness and in mercy complete)
Ur’ Uwer’ Uwera, Mwami Mana yacu,
Ibyaremwe byose biragusingiza:
Ur’ umunyambarag’ ur’ umunyebambe;
Ingoma yawe ntizahanguka
(You are Holy, Holy, Lord our God,)
(All creation glorifies You:)
(You are the Creator, You are the Sustainer;)
(Your kingdom shall never fail)
