Mwam’ ujy’ imbere mu nzira yacu

Tur’ abana baw’ uduhe

Kugukurikir’ iteka,

Utuyobore, tujye kwa Data

(Lord, go before us in our way)

(We are Your children, grant us)

(To follow You forever,)

(Lead us, that we go to the Father)

2.

Mu ngeso zacu no mu mirimo,

Iby’ ushaka ko dukora

Mu rugendo rw’ i Siyoni,

Utubashishe kubisohoza

(In our conduct and our works,)

(What You want us to do)

(In our journey to Zion,)

(Help us to accomplish it)

Ni haz’ igiter’ uturengere !

Ni tubon’ iminsi mibi,

Tube twihanganye cyane,

Mu nzira yawe, ni ko bigenda

(We see evil days,)

(May we endure greatly,)

(In Your way, this is how it goes)

Ni tubabazwa n’ ibidutera,

Udukomeze, tubashe

Kubabarir’ abatwanga;

Tukwiringiye, bizanesheka

(Strengthen us, that we may)

(Forgive those who hate us;)

(Trusting You, it will be rewarded)

Naho habaho ikintu cyose

Kidukurahw amahoro

Ngo duterwe n’ ubukonje

Tuzacyihana, tuger’ i wawe

(Whatever may happen)

(That robs us of peace)

(Though we suffer hunger)

(We will endure, to reach Your home)

6.

Duhishurire ibyo mw ijuru,

Amasezerano yawe

Ab’ impamba y’ ubugingo;

Maze hanyuma, tuger’ i Wawe

(Open for us what's in heaven,)

(Your promises)

(For the poor of life;)

(Then finally, we reach Your home)

7.

Uru rugendo urutunganye !

Kand’ uduh’ Umwuka Wera

Ngw’ ab’ impamba y’ ubugingo,

Utugezeyo, twishim’ iteka

(This journey You arranged!)

(And You gave us the Holy Spirit)

(As the poor of life,)

(You lead us there, we rejoice forever)

8.

Udushorere hose tugenda;

Ni tunanirwa mu nzira,

Uduhembure, Mukiza,

Ubgo tuzapfa, tuzajy’ i Wawe

(Accompany us wherever we go;)

(Though we struggle in the way,)

(Comfort us, Savior,)

(Until we die, we'll go to Your home)
