Aba bombi, Mana Data,(These two, God the Father,)

Bashyingiranyw’ amahoro,(United in peace,)

Mugwaneza w’ ubutunzi,(In the generosity of riches,)

Ubatere kwizigira,(Help them to trust,)

Kubw’ imbabazi zawe(Because of Your mercies)

Bakwizere, —-Bagusenge,(May they believe in You, —May they pray to You,)
