Twese tugusingize,

Nyir’ ingabo !

(Look where it has set!)

(Look at the moon and stars:)

(Who fills earth and heaven;)

(Let us all praise You,)

(Lord of hosts!)

Ni dupfa, Mucunguzi,

Tuzabon’ umucyo mwinshi,

Nukw’ ijoro rye kubaho,

Tugushime!

(We will see great light,)

(For night will cease to be,)

(We will praise You!)
