1.

Wa mwanya mu Getsemani

Sinawibagirwa,

Ubgo wabirag’ ibyuya

Bisa n’ amaraso

Sinibagirw’ amakuba

Wabonye kubganjye

Wunamye n’ umubabaro

Ur’ i Getsemani

(That moment in Gesemane)

(Never will I forget,)

(When those drops of sweat You shed)

(That seemed, just like blood)

(I will not forget the agonies)

(You have endured just for me)

(Bowed down with such sorrow)

(There in Gesemane)

2.

Wari mu biti n’ ijoro

Kubw’ibyaha byanjye

Byaragushenjaguye pe:

N’urubanza rwanjye

(You were in the garden at night)

(Because of my sins)

(They overwhelmed You indeed:)

(My condemnation too)

3.

Intumwa zagusizeyo,

S’arakuzinukwa

Natwe nta bwo twashobora

Kubigereranya

(The disciples left You there,)

(It was not betrayal)

(We also could not)

(Comprehend it)

4.

N’ubona ko mbyibagiwe,

Yes’uzanyibutse

Bya byuya byawe

wabize Kubganjye,

kubganjye !

(Even if I forget,)

(Jesus You will remember me)

(Those drops of sweat)

(You shed for me,)

(for me!)
