1.

Mukiza, ni Wowe zuba ryanjye:

Nta joro ngir’ iyo turi kumwe

Iby’ isi bye kub’ igicu

Kinkingiriz’ umucyo wawe !

(Savior, You are my sun:)

(I have no night when we are together)

(Let not worldly things be a cloud)

(That blocks Your light from me!)

2.

Kand’ iyo mbony’ ibitotsi byiza,

Bikanduhur’ umubir’ urushye,

Nibuke yuko mw ijuru,

Nzahora nkwiseguye, Yesu

(And when I find sweet sleep,)

(Giving rest to a tired body,)

(Let me remember that in heaven,)

(I will always trust in You, Jesus)

3.

Tujye tuguman’ umunsi wire,

Kuko ntabaho tutari kumwe;

Tugumane na n’ ijoro;

Tutabanye, natinya gupfa

(Let us stay together all day long,)

(For there is no life apart from You;)

(Stay with us even at night;)

(Without being together, I fear death)

4.

Niba hagiz’ uwasuzuguye

Ijwi ry’ Imana kur’ uyu munsi,

Tangira none, Mukiza,

Kumuyobor’ inzira nziza

(If there is anyone who has despised)

(The voice of God on this day,)

(Begin now, Savior,)

(To guide them on the good path)

5.

Mwam’ abarwayi, mubane maso,

Uh’ abaken’ imigisha myinshi,

Kand’ abapfushije na bo,

Mwam’ ubasinzirize neza

(Lord, watch over the sick,)

(Give the poor many blessings,)

(And those who are grieving too,)

(Lord, put them to sleep well)

6.

Kandi, Yesu, tuzakangukane,

Dukor’ imirimo, turi kumwe,

Nyuma tuzajye mw ijuru

Tugoswe n’ urukundo rwawe

(And, Jesus, let us wake up together,)

(Let us work, being together,)

(Later we will go to heaven)

(Embraced by Your love)
