1AYINA omugisa omuntu atagenda omu kuhanura kwababi,
Nobukwakuba okweme’ra omu muhanda ogwabasisi,
Nobukwakuba okuika’raha ntebe yabanyakugay,
2Baitu ebiragiro bya MUKAMA nibyo bimusemeza;
Nomu biragirobye numwo atekerza nyamusana nekiro.
3Kandi arasisanaga nkomuti
Ogunyakubyairwe ha byambu byamaizi,
Ogwana ebyana byagwo omu mwaka gwagwo,
Namababi gagwo tigahotoka:
Nekyarakoraga kyona arakiherwaga omugisa.

Baitu bali nkebisunga embeho ebizitwara.

Baitu omuhanda ogwababi gulibura.
