[Kirundi] I Was Here

Lyrics

[Intro – Piano, Strings, Distant Choir]

Hmmmm...

Umusi umwe ibara rizohinduka...

Imyaka izohita...

Ibihe bizohinduka...

Ariko igisigarira

Ni urukundo twatanze...

Ubuzima bwatugize.

[Verse 1]

Sinshobora gusunika imisozi,
Sinshobora guhindura ijuru,

Sinshobora gushira izina ryanje
Ahari abakurambere baruhukiye.

Ariko igihe nafashije uwuri mu kaga,
Nkazura indoto zigenda,

Nkosheje icizigiro
Ahari ijoro ry'ikiza,

Ubuzima bwanje buba bwaragize akamaro.

[Pre-Chorus]

Kuko akabuto gato
Kahungura umwijima,

Kandi ubuntu buto
Bureka ikirangamuntu gikomeye.

[Chorus]

🌍 Nariho...

Sivyo kuvyibukwa,

Ariko kwibuka abandi.

Nariho...

Sivyo guhagarara hejuru,

Ariko kuzura abandi.

Igihe isi iriko irayagaza
Igihe urugendo rwanje rurangiye,

Ivyo birahagije.

Nariho.

[Verse 2]

Abandi bazokwubaka n'amajambo,
Abandi bazokwubaka n'amaboko,

Abandi bazokwigisha abana,
Abandi bazozura abandi babanguka.

Abandi bazokiza imitima imenetse,
Abandi bazohumuriza imitima iruhijwe,

Abandi bazosiga ubutunzi,
Abandi basiga urukundo rwabo.

Kandi rimwe rimwe urukundo
Ruguma igihe kirekire.

[Pre-Chorus]

Kuko umutima uzokwibuka
Ibitarashobora kubona amaso,

Kandi ibikorwa vyiza
Bizoba inzira abandi bakurikirana.

[Chorus]

🌍 Nariho...

Sivyo kuvyibukwa,

Ariko kwibuka abandi.

Nariho...

Sivyo guhagarara hejuru,

Ariko kuzura abandi.

Igihe isi iriko irayagaza
Igihe urugendo rwanje rurangiye,

Ivyo birahagije.

Nariho.

[Bridge – Choir Rising]

Igihe igitabo ca nyuma gikinguwe,

Igihe indirimbo ya nyuma iririmbwa,

Ntibizoba ivyo nashoboye,

Ariko ivyo natanze.

Sivyo abagenzi nabonye,

Ariko abagenzi bahakuye inzira.

Sivyo ubutunzi nakoranye,

Ariko icizigiro nasize.

Kuko roho yose yandika

Inkuru mu buzima bw'abandi.

[Final Chorus – Full Choir]

🌍 Nariho...

Narakunze cane.

Natanze n'umutima wose.

Nararonse n'ubutwari.

Narahagaze mu buntu.

Nariho...

Kandi mu gihe kizokurikira

Igice canje gisigaye.

Mu gusetsa nashoboye gufasha kurema.

Mu mutwaro nashoboye gufasha kwikorera.

Mu ndoto nashoboye kuzura.

Mu buzima nashoboye guhindura.

🌍 Kandi igihe isi iriko irayagaza

Kuko nahaciye muri ubu buryo,

Ivyo birahagije.

Nariho.

[Outro – Choir & Piano Fade]

Ubuzima bumwe...

Igihe kimwe...

Ishingiro rimwe ryiza...

Gusiga isi

Iri nziza cane

Kuruta uko twarayisanze.

Hmmmm...

Nariho...
