Uyu mwana w’ uruhinja ni nde,

Wabyawe n’ umukene?

Dor’ aryamye mu kiraro cy’ inka

Kukw icumbi ryabuze

N’ Umuremyi w’isi yose;

Ni W’ uhindutse muto;

N’ Uwiteka Nyirigira

Utaremw’ udashira

(Who is this child of the flock,)

(Born in poverty?)

(Behold He lies in a cattle manger)

(Because the room was full)

(He is the Creator of the whole world;)

(He is the one who became small;)

(He is the Eternal Lord)

(Who was unborn and eternal)

2.

Uyu ni nde wishwe n’ agahinda,

Wuzuy’ umubabaro,

Uj’ ashak’ imbata za Satani,

Byos’ abyihanganira ?

Ni We Mana yacu nziza

Idutunganiriza

Ibibanza byo mw ijuru

N’ ibyishimo by’ iteka

(Who is this one killed by sorrow,)

(Full of suffering,)

(Who seeks the slaves of Satan,)

(All this He endures?)

(He is our good God)

(Who prepares for us)

(The places in heaven)

(And eternal joys)

3.

Uyu ni nd’ uv’ amaraso cyane,

Agahemurwa rwose,

Agakubitw’ ibipfunsi n’ inshyi,

Ntagir’ umurengera?

Ni We Man’ ih’ imigisha

Abo yicunguriye,

Kand’ izacir’ urubanza

Abayisuzuguye

(Who is this one bleeding greatly,)

(Being despised completely,)

(Being beaten with clubs and whips,)

(Having no defender?)

(He is God giving blessings)

(To those He saved,)

(And He will judge)

(Those who despised Him)

4.

Uyu ni nd’ ubambge n’ abagome

Hagati y’ abambuzi?

Dor’ afit’ amahwa mu ruhanga:

Arashinyagurirwa !

Ni We Mana yimy’ iteka

Mw ijuru ryera rya Se,

Igahimbazwa n’ abera

Yacunguj’ amaraso

(Who is this one crucified by the wicked)

(Among the thieves?)

(Behold He has nails in His palms:)

(He is being pierced!)

(He is God living forever)

(In the holy heaven of the Father,)

(Being praised by the holy ones)

(He saved by His blood)
