Gushimisha · 3 verses
Iri joro, yemwe bakristo mwese,
Turabibuts’ Umwana w’ Imana,
Uko yaje kuducungura twese,
Ngw Iman’ izadukure mu byaha
Abo mw isi bose banezerewe
Iri joro, bibuk’ Umukiza
Mupfukame, mushim’Umucunguzi !
Tunezerwe, tunezerwe twese ! (x2)
(This night, all you Christians,)
(We remember the Son of God,)
(How He came to redeem us all,)
(So that God may cleanse us from sins)
(All people in the world are blessed)
(This night, remember the Savior)
(Kneel down, praise the Redeemer!)
(We are blessed, we are all blessed! (x2))
Kwizigira kwacu, bakristo mwese,
Kudutere guhimbaz’ Umwami;
Inyenyeri y’ iracyaka kw ijuru
Ahw abanyabwenge bayibonye
Uwo Mwami yashyizwe mu muvure:
Mubimenye, rubanda mwese mwe !
Munezerwe kukw Iman’ ibikiza
Munezerwe, mwambaz’ uwo Mwami ! (x 2)
(Our remembrance, all Christians,)
(Should not cease praising the Lord;)
(The star still shines in heaven)
(Where the wise men saw it)
(That Lord was laid in a manger:)
(Know this, all you people!)
(Be blessed that God saves)
(Be blessed, put on that Lord! (x2))
Umukiza yabakuye mu kaga
No mu buretwa bw’ umwanzi mubi
Mwes’ abita ben’ Imana Rurema;
Abigish’ iby’ urukundo rwayo
Tumwerurire yuko tumukunda:
Yadupfiriye ku Musaraba
Rubanda mwe, mwishime cyane none !
Tunezerwe, tunezerwe twese ! (x 2)
(The Savior has delivered them from trouble)
(And from the bondage of the evil enemy)
(All you children of God the Creator;)
(Taught about His love)
(Let us show Him that we love Him:)
(He died for us on the Cross)
(People, rejoice greatly now!)
(We are blessed, we are all blessed! (x2))
