[Kirundi] Upbeyond

Lyrics

**[Intro — Distant Choir, African Drums, Rising Synth]**

Eh-oh, eh-oh!  
Nimwumve intambuko ziza!

Uvuye mu nzira ntoya, gushika kuri nyinshi,  
Uwo mwanya urakoma ku rugi.

Oh-ya, oh-ya!  
Mubona abantu baririmba?

Hejuru, hejuru, kurenga!  
Tugume twubaka neza!

**[Verse 1 — Percussive Afrobeat Groove]**

Ijoro ry'ubushikiranganji ryakaka,  
Mu gitondo hari ibirenge vyinshi.  
Abo batigeze bavugishwa  
Barabona amajambo yo kuyobora.

Aho hari impome, turubaka inzira,  
Aho hari amakenga, turabaza vyinshi.  
Na Sweefin irafasha guhuza abantu,  
Benshi barashobora guhanga, guhanahana, no gutera imbere.

Nta ndoto ntoyo yo gutangura guhindura,  
Nta buzima kure yo gusubira kwubaka.  
Ntitwiteze ijuru ryiza,  
Turashobora kwubaka umusi ukiriko uraduga.

**[Pre-Chorus — Handclaps and Rising Harmonies]**

Uravyumva? (Vyumva!)  
Uravyiyumvira? (Vyiyumvira!)

Ikintu ciza kiri mu nzira,  
Hariho ikibanza canje nawe.

Fata amahirwe, terereza,  
Reka uwundi wiyumvire ahagarare.  
Iyo isi yose iririmba hamwe,  
N'ijwi rito rirashobora kwumvikana!

**[Chorus — Explosive Global Dance Hook]**

Hejuru, hejuru, kurenga!  
Tugume twubaka neza!

Shira umubiri mu muvugo, uririmba iyi ndirimbo,  
Bose ni baze!

Hejuru, hejuru, kurenga!  
Reka impome za kera zishike hasi!

Hey-oh, hey-oh, turagenda,  
Raba amahirwe agera ku miriyoni!

Kurenga hejuru! Kurenga hejuru!  
Reka umwanya utware!

Ikiganza kimwe, amahirwe amwe,  
Tanga isi yose umudanso!

**[Post-Chorus — Festival Crowd Chant]**

Oh-ya-ya! Oh-ya-ya!  
Bose, nimubivuge
