Mbumbatiwe nawe, Yesu,

Nta kizampangara,

Kand’ urukund’ umfitiye

Ni rwo runduhur’ ubu

Numvis’ amajwi meza

Y’ abatugiy’ imbere;

Bahora baririmba,

Bashima Yesu, bati:

Mbumbatiwe nawe, Yesu,

Nta kizampangara,

Kand’ urukund’ umfitiye

Ni rwo runduhur’ ubu

(I am bound together with You, Jesus,)

(Nothing can separate us,)

(And the love You have for me)

(Is what comforts me now)

(I hear the beautiful voices)

(Of those who went before us;)

(They are always singing,)

(Praising Jesus, saying:)

(I am bound together with You, Jesus,)

(Nothing can separate us,)

(And the love You have for me)

(Is what comforts me now)

Mbumbatiwe nawe, Yesu;

Ntabwo nkiganyira

Nta cyo Satan’ antwar’ ubu

N’ amahane ye yose

Kand’ amakuba na yo

Ntashobora kunsinda

Ibyago by’ isi byose

Ntibyadutandukanya

(I am bound together with You, Jesus;)

(I do not doubt it)

(Satan can take nothing from me now)

(With all his schemes)

(And even trials)

(Cannot overcome me)

(All the dangers of this world)

(Cannot separate us)

Yesu, Buhungiro bganjye,

Yesu wamfiriye,

Wowe, Rutare nshinzweho,

Nzakwiringir’ iteka

Nuko, njye nihangana:

Dor’ iri joro ribi

Vuba rigiye gucya,

Mpereko njye mw jjuru !

(Jesus, my refuge,)

(Jesus who died for me,)

(You, the Rock on which I am founded,)

(I will trust You forever)

(So, I persevere:)

(See this evil night)

(Will soon pass,)

(Bring me to heaven!)
