Ndagukurikira, Yesu;

Nemey’ umusaraba

Jye nta shinge, nta rugero:

Urampagije wenyine

Ndagukurikira, Yesu,

Ubgo wanguz’amaraso;

Ndakwihaye, Mwami Yesu:

Kera waranyitangiye

(I follow You, Jesus;)

(I accept the cross)

(I have no boundary, no limit:)

(You alone have saved me)

(I follow You, Jesus,)

(Since You bought me with blood;)

(I give myself to You, Lord Jesus:)

(Long ago You gave Yourself for me)

Icyubahiro n’ iby’ isi,

Sinkibimaranira

Kubga Yesu, ndabiretse:

(Because of Jesus, I have left them:)

(He gives me the good things of heaven)

Nahw ab’ isi bazanyanga,

Ni ko bakugiriye

Ntibankund’ akaramata:

Wowe ntabw’ uzanzinukwa

(That is how they treated You)

(Even if they do not love me at all:)

(You will never despise me)

Uwansek’ ansuzuguye,

Byakunsunikiraho

Uko bizamera kose,

Uzabinyihanganisha

(Whatever happens,)

(You will help me endure it)

Ko mpaw’urukundo rwawe,

Har’ikindi nshaka se?

Ibinezaneza by’ isi,

Simbishaka: mfite Yesu

(Since You give me Your love,)

(Is there anything else I want?)

(The pleasures of this world,)

(I do not want them: I have Jesus)
