Imitim’ ikomezwa(Hearts are strengthened)

No kwiringira cyane(By trusting greatly)

Ko Yes’ azagaruka(That Jesus will return)

Azaza vuba, ntazatinda(He will come soon, He will not delay)

Tuzagir’ ibyishimo(We will have joy)

Yes’ ubw’ uzagaruka(When Jesus returns)

2.

Kand’ abo twakundaga,(And those we loved,)

Iyo tubapfushije,(When we have lost them,)

Tukababara cyane,(We grieve greatly,)

Iryo ni ryo ritwiringiza !(This is what gives us hope!)

Turorere kurira:(Let us stop crying:)

N’aza, tuzabonana(When He comes, we will meet again)

3.

Ni tugir’ amakuba,(If we have troubles,)

N’ ibyo kutunaniza,(And things that discourage us,)

Twe gukuk’ imitima(Let us not lose heart)

Mw isi s’ i wacu: duhumure !(This world is not home: be comforted!)

N’ ibyo kwihanganirwa(These things must be endured)

Kugez’ ahw azazira(Until He comes)

4.

Tugeze ku meza ye,(When we gather at His table,)

Dusangir’ urwibutso(Sharing the memorial)

Rw’ umutsima na vino;(Of bread and wine;)

Bisur’ a meza yo mw Ijuru:(It points to that table in Heaven:)

Ni ko tuzasangIra(Thus we will share)

Na W’ ubg’ azagaruka(With Him when He returns)
