Kugeza gupfa, tuzakuyoboka:

Kugeza gupf’ ur’ Umwami wacu

Duhagaritswe kw ibendera yawe ;

Tuzahapfira tukwiringiye

Kugeza gupfa, turwan’ intambara;

Ni kw ingabo z’ Umwami zinesha;

Kugeza gupf’ Umusarabawawe

N’ Ibendera yac’ abacunguwe

(Until death, we will obey You:)

(Until death You are our Lord)

(We are stationed at Your flag;)

(We will die there trusting You)

(Until death, we fight the battle;)

(That is where the Lord's warriors are pleased;)

(Until death Your Cross)

(Is the flag of the redeemed)

2.

Kubgawe, Yesu, ni byiza kubaho;

Inzira yaw’ iratworohera

Ni nde wakwanga kugukurikira,

Wowe, Mukiza wadupfiriye?

(For You, Jesus, it is good to live;)

(Your way makes it easy for us)

(Who would refuse to follow You,)

(You, Savior who died for us?)

3.

Kugeza gupfa, dutegekwe nawe

Ubw’ uriho, tuzabaho natwe !

Wumviy’ Imana, ntiwanga no gupfa,

Ndets’ udupfira n’ urupfu rubi

(Until death, we are governed by You)

(While You live, we will live too!)

(You heard God, You did not refuse even death,)

(Indeed You died for us a terrible death)

4.

Mukiz’ uz’ intege nke zacu rwose;

Tuzi ko twagwa mu nzira yacu,

N’ utaza gusohoz’ isezerano

Ryo kuturengera, tukiriho

(Savior, know our weaknesses completely;)

(We know that we fall in our way,)

(And You will not fail to fulfill the promise)

(To protect us, while we live)

5.

Umwuka waw’ udushorer’ iteka,

Kand’ imitima yac’ iwumvire,

Ngo tub’ ubwoko bwaneshej’ urupfu

Kubgawe, Yesu wadupfiriye!

(May Your Spirit guide us forever,)

(And may Your heart hear,)

(That we may be the generation that conquered death)

(For You, Jesus who died for us!)
