1.

N’ ijwi ry’ umwungeri twumva;

Ari mw ishyamb’ ashak’ ize,

Zose zagiye intatane,

Zavuye mu ruhongore

Tarura, tarura

Izo ntama ze zazimiye;

Tarura, tarura

Izo ntama uzimushyire

(It is the Shepherd's voice we hear;)

(He is in the forest seeking His own,)

(All have gone astray,)

(They have left the sheep pen)

(Rescue, rescue)

(Those sheep of His that are lost;)

(Rescue, rescue)

(Those sheep, bring them to Him)

2.

Ni nde wafash’ Umwungeri

Kujya gushak’ inzimizi

Zicwa n’ imvura n’ imbeho,

Akajya kiratarura ?

(Who will help the Shepherd)

(To go seek the lost)

(Being killed by rain and cold,)

(And to go rescue them?)

3.

Abantu bazimiye

Bageze kure mu byaha

Yesu ngo, Gend’ ubazane,

Baz’ ababere umwungeri

(The people who are lost)

(Have gone far into sin)

(Jesus says, Go bring them,)

(Come be their shepherd)
