Mpakanya nawe mbona duhatana
Bizima bine bikanura mvuga ni gute itabona ko ibi bitabaha
Kamata moto ndakabara amahera mpaka amasaha nabariwe agera
Gabanya amaganya ntaw'udataka
Saba akabuno amaguru nyaruka nkubarire inkuru z'ibikumanura
Mpakanya nawe mbona duhatana
Bizima bine bikanura mvuga ni gute itabona ko ibi bitabaha
Kamata moto ndakabara amahera mpaka amasaha nabariwe agera
Gabanya amaganya ntaw'udataka
Saba akabuno amaguru nyaruka nkubarire inkuru z'ibikumanura
Tuzaba tubibona vuga macye
Na bino bito bigikura bitagwa
Ndeker izi ngoma, nibacye
Bakoma kuno gusa bikavugira
Hacye
Bagabana baseka, njye ndi gusaba
Igipande kibereye inzara nkifite
Nkirata nkivuga ni kugez'igihe
Muzimukira ino mbazurire Fela
Musohok'impaka
Amagambo adashira amaherezo bury'ana 'aterura ubusa
Nabazaga abanyamabara amayira nyasohoka mbaye inuma y'umukara
Muhame aha muhaba
Nabataba aha akaruru bakavuza
Bumva iyi ngoma ni kugeza igihe muzimukira aha
Mpakanya nawe mbona duhatana
Bizima bine bikanura mvuga ni gute itabona ko ibi bitabaha
Kamata moto ndakabara amahera mpaka amasaha nabariwe agera
Gabanya amaganya ntaw'udataka
Saba akabuno amaguru nyaruka nkubarire inkuru z'ibikumanura
Nkagaya bano basaka abasaba mbona ari bo bakena no kubarusha.
Nkagashya rugururu njya ahamanuka
Museka abakora mukama abakuza
Mpagaze inyama buracya nkikuba
Nkubitika ubu nkaramukana inkuba
Saba akabaraga rurema kora
Ncurik' izi ngoma nkora mu kigona
Mbuga mukigana
Avuga mutsibura
Mukin'imikino muza mutumvira
Bucya amakuba akurikira amakosa
Mubira murahira ko mutongera
Bwira musubira inyuma mpakongeza
Mbaza ikibura nkukubite ino ngumi
Ni turi kuri terrain imwe yo ndi Bumi
