Nkunda imfura ntacyo impaye,
Nshibutse neza ntacyo mbaye.
Uwumva ubwiru ntumuveba
No kutabwumva si ubugwari.
Mwene mama yaje neza,
Arira cyane si amahane
Cyangwa ibisinginzo ku bo asanze,
Yakuze ubwangu
Amarira arakama
Amaso afungukira mu matongo
Abitse benshi mu bo yabwiwe.
Ahakamye amarira havubutse umuborogo
N’agahinda nkuwabuze ubuturo.
Umutima wuzuye igituza,
Amayobera ku hashize n’intete y’icyizere cy’ahazaza.
Bucya rimwe, bucya kabiri;
Gukomera ntabitora
Niyo nzira rukumbi imukura i buzimu.
Umunsi ucyeye ni urugamba,
Indwanyi yanjye nyizi neza:
Sinyibyinirira ubutsinzi cyangwa imiringa itigeze,
Amacumu yivuze angana imyato
Cyangwa intsinzi z’urikandagira.
Akamwenyu kashibutse mu butsinzi n’uburame bw’icyizere cy’ejo!

Mwana wanjye wirira
Mwana wanjye wirira
Mwana wanjye wirira
Bwanacyambwe i muhira
Mwana wanjye wirira

What's true if only lies are being spread?
Ese niba ari ibyo turangana he?
Yeah
Barahindura hindura hindura
Barashaka kuyagoreka
Telling stories that only deny the truth
Drowning us into their make believe
It's our history let's own it
Don't let them twist things around it
Kumenya amateka yacu nibyo biduhoza amarira

Mwana wanjye wirira
Mwana wanjye wirira
Mwana wanjye wirira
Bwanacyambwe i muhira
Mwana wanjye wirira
