Ni Wowe wenyine nizeye

Kw ari Wow’ ump’ umugisha

Ku manywa mba mu mucyo wawe;

N’ ijoro nkakwegamira;

No mu gitondo, nkigusenga,

Ujy’ untegurir’ inzira:

No mu maryama, Data mwiza,

Undinganiriz’ iby’ ejo

(In the morning may I be in Your light;)

(And at night I lean on You;)

(Even in the morning, I pray to You,)

(You keep preparing the way for me:)

(Even in the evening, beautiful Father,)

(Prepare for me the things of tomorrow)
