[Kinyarwanda lyrics] 

Ese aho niryari tuzicara
tugasangira imbehe imwe
Abarengerewe n'ishavu, 
bagasigaho kwiganyira
Bene imitima inangiye 
bagacogora... [Yego weee] 
Amarira yabaye menshi kwisi hose
Mumateka hari ababaye ibicibwa
[Baraziriki iki?] 
Tuvugire hamwe twese 
Baraziriki....? 


Baraziriki ko arabana nkabandi
Baraziriki rubanda rugufi
Mubukene akarengane ntibikavugwe. 
Oya.. 
[ Oya ntibikabeho we! ]
Mubupfubyi amaganya
Ntakaboneke Oya..
Oya, oya...!!
Twese tuvuge ngo oya, 
[ Tubivugeee..!! ] 
Oyaa.. Oyaa..
[ Yego weee...! ] 
Oooh ooo... 

Uwo mukene nawe akeneye kubaho
Zirikana witererana abashavuyeee
Twese niyo ngoyi ituriho, ituriho..
Haranira gufashaba abandi
Niwo murage uzahoranaaa..
Agahinda, k'ubukene
Amarira y'impfubyi
Amaganya y'abapfakazi
Abana bo mumuhanda barazira iki?

Baraziriki ko arabana nkabandi
Baraziriki rubanda rugufi
Mubukene akarengane ntibikavugwe. 
Oya.. 
[ Oya ntibikabeho we! ]
Mubupfubyi amaganya
Ntakaboneke Oya..
Oya, oya...!!
Twese tuvuge ngo oya, 
[ Tubivugeee..!! ] 
Oyaa.. Oyaa..
[ Yego weee...! ] 
Oooh ooo... 


[English translate] 

When shall we gather together
and partake in a communal meal,
free from the burdens of sorrow and worry?
May those with hardened hearts find compassion and understanding.

Tears have flowed abundantly throughout history,
and some have been unjustly ostracized.
What crimes have they committed?
Let us come together and discuss,
what are their supposed transgressions?

What could they possibly be guilty of,
for they are children, just like any other?
What wrong have the impoverished done,
to suffer in poverty and injustice?
Let us not allow this to continue.
No, let it not happen!

The grievances of orphans should not be ignored,
nor the sorrows of widows.
Why should street children be held responsible
for their circumstances?

Let us strive to help those in need,
and leave a lasting legacy of compassion.
May we address the suffering of the poor,
the tears of orphans,
the grievances of widows,
and the plight of street children.
