Aba bombi, Mana Data,

Bashyingiranyw’ amahoro,

Ujy’ ubarinda neza

Mugwaneza w’ ubutunzi,

Ubatere kwizigira,

Kubw’ imbabazi zawe

Bakwizere, —-Bagusenge,

Wowe, Data, —-Kuk’ ukunda

No kubikiriz’ iteka

(These two, God the Father,)

(United in peace,)

(Keep protecting them well)

(In the generosity of riches,)

(And may Your peace be)

(In their home now and forever)

(Together with Your goodness)

(Amen! Amen!—Establish them)
