Urwo rukundo naruvuga nte,(How can I speak of that love,)

Ko ntabon’amagamb’ akwiriye ?(For I find no fitting words?)

Unkund’atyo(Who loves me so)

Urwo rukundo narushimira nte !(How can I thank that love!)

Mukiza wanjye, ne guceceka(My Savior, not to be silent)

Ukankiza !(Whom You saved!)

Ndashaka, Yesu, kukugumaho,(I desire, Jesus, to remain in You,)

Mukiz’ ubwo nzagera mw ijuru,(Savior, when I reach heaven,)

Amaso yanjy’akakwirebera,(My eyes beholding You,)

Ni h’ urukundo rwawe nzabona(Then I will see Your love)

Uko ndumeny’ uko ndusingiza,(As I know it and praise it,)

Mucunguzi!(O Redeemer!)
