Ewe yerusalemu wo mw’ijuru

Couplet 1

Ewe Yerusalemu wo mw’Ijuru, Wuzuye ubwiza bw’Ihoraho, Wubatswe n’umwubatsi nyakuri, Ndatazir’Imana ku bwawe.

Refrain

Iya nzamuriy’amaso kuri wewe, Nuzur’umunezero mwinshi, Iyo numvis’inkuru z’iyo, Nca numva nohagurukira, Nkaj’i Yerusalemu iwacu, Ahar’amahoro menshi, Har’umunezero mwinshi, Ah’ari itunga ryinshi, Ah’ar’amazu menshi, {Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya!} x2

Ewe Yerusalemu wo mw’Ijuru, Uburuhukiro bw’abahizi, Nta munyakibi avugwa muri wewe, Ur’umugwa w’Abera b’Iyera.

Refrain

Iya nzamuriy’amaso kuri wewe, Nuzur’umunezero mwinshi, Iyo numvis’inkuru z’iyo, Nca numva nohagurukira, Nkaj’i Yerusalemu iwacu, Ahar’amahoro menshi, Har’umunezero mwinshi, Ah’ari itunga ryinshi, Ah’ar’amazu menshi, {Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya!} x2

Refrain

Iya nzamuriy’amaso kuri wewe, Nuzur’umunezero mwinshi, Iyo numvis’inkuru z’iyo, Nca numva nohagurukira, Nkaj’i Yerusalemu iwacu, Ahar’amahoro menshi, Har’umunezero mwinshi, Ah’ari itunga ryinshi, Ah’ar’amazu menshi, {Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya!} x2

Ewe Yerusalemu wo mw’Ijuru, Umwami wawe n’uw’agahebuza, Yanesheje abami bose arabatsinda, Yatubereye umuhizi mu rugendo.

Refrain

Iya nzamuriy’amaso kuri wewe, Nuzur’umunezero mwinshi, Iyo numvis’inkuru z’iyo, Nca numva nohagurukira, Nkaj’i Yerusalemu iwacu, Ahar’amahoro menshi, Har’umunezero mwinshi, Ah’ari itunga ryinshi, Ah’ar’amazu menshi, {Haleluya, Haleluya, Haleluya!} x2

Iyo ninjiye muri Mpwemu, Mu Bwami bw’Imana Nzima, Nsangayo ivyiza vyinshi cane, Nkipfuza icohangumiza rwose, Mwami, mfasha ndahegukire.
