Lyrics

# SUNDRUM
*Umunsi Mushya Uraje*

**[INTRO — Ibyuma, Umuziki W'Umuyaga, Impundu]**

*(Boom… boom-boom… clap!)*

Urabyumva?

Hari ijwi rishya mu muhanda.

Oh-eh, oh-eh!

Nimuze mwese!

**[CHORUS — Ibyuma By'Afurika]**

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Umunsi mushya uraje!

Iruka, iruka, ntuhunge—
Hano uhamye, komereza!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Ijwi ryiza ryikomeze!

Intambwe imwe, ebyiri,
Buri wese mu murongo!

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Isi yose iririmba!

**[VERSE 1 — Injyana Y'Afrobeat, Gitari Ihamye]**

Hari uririmba mu idirishya rifunguye,
Hari ubyina mu mvura.
Ejo hahise hahoraga ituze,
Ubu haraduhamagara.

Hari ikiraro hejuru y'amazi
Aho urukuta rwari rwahishe.
Hari inzira nyinshi zo gutangira bundi bushya,
N'ibikorwa byinshi byo gukora.

Mbona ibiganza byambuka urujya n’uruza,
Mbona abagenzi babona aho bahurira.
Ijwi ryose ryiyongera mu muririmo
Rikora ijwi rinini, ryumvikana.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Amahumbezi Y'Ijwi]**

Niba ufite ubutwari buke,
Uze ubuzane ku rubuga.

Niba wabonye agaciro gato,
Fungurira undi umuryango.

Ntitugomba gutangira kimwe,
Ntitugomba inzozi zimwe.

Ariko iri joro turabyina hamwe—
Numva injyana, numva ingoma!

**[CHORUS — Ibyuma By'Amapiano]**

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Umunsi mushya uraje!

Iruka, iruka, ntuhunge—
Hano uhamye, komereza!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Ijwi ryiza ryikomeze!

Intambwe imwe, ebyiri,
Buri wese mu murongo!

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Isi yose iririmba!

**[POST-CHORUS — Indirimbo Y'Imbyino]**

Boom-boom! Clap!
Garura umucyo!

Boom-boom! Hey!
Byina mu munsi mushya!

Uzunguruka,
Ibirenge ku butaka!

SUNDRUM!
Wumva iryo jwi!

**[VERSE 2 — Umuyobozi W'Abagore, Injyana Y'Ibihogo]**

Hari umubyeyi utangije ubucuruzi bwe,
Hari umubyeyi wiga ikintu gishya.
Hari umwana ufite amabara ku rupapuro,
Ashushanya isi tutigeze tumenya.

Hari umuhinzi uzana umusaruro,
Hari umwubatsi ufite igitekerezo gishya.
Inzozi zose zitangirira ahandi,
Urugendo rwose rutangirira aho duhagaze.

Uvuye mu cyaro ujya mu mujyi,
Uvuye ku musozi ujya ku nkombe,
Sweefin ihuza abantu n'amahirwe,
Ifasha gufungura imiryango myinshi.

Si buri nzira itunganye cyangwa yoroshye,
Si buri mbuto izera.
Ariko iyo abantu benshi babonye amahirwe,
Hari umwanya munini w'inzozi.

**[PRE-CHORUS — Amahumbezi Y'Ijwi Ry'Ishyaka]**

Niba ufite ubutwari buke,
Uze ubuzane ku rubuga.

Niba wabonye agaciro gato,
Fungurira undi umuryango.

Ntitugomba gutangira kimwe,
Ntitugomba inzozi zimwe.

Ariko iri joro turabyina hamwe—
Numva injyana, numva ingoma!

**[CHORUS — Ibyuma By'Ibirori]**

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Umunsi mushya uraje!

Iruka, iruka, ntuhunge—
Hano uhamye, komereza!

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!
Ijwi ryiza ryikomeze!

Intambwe imwe, ebyiri,
Buri wese mu murongo!

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!
Isi yose iririmba!

**[BRIDGE — Piano Icyoroshye, Umuririmbyi W'Abantu]**

**[Verse]**

Niba ijoro rikuremereye,  
Niba urugendo rwarakunanije,  

Umva umutima utuje,  
Ukubwira ngo komeza imbere.  

Dushobora gusangira ubuntu,  
Tugafasha abari mu nzira.  

Isi irushaho kuba nini,  
Iyo tuzi aho abandi bahagaze.  

*(Piano irahagarara. Inanga imwe irakomeza.)*

**[DANCE BREAK — Call-and-Response]**

Umuyobozi: Wumva inanga?  
Abantu: Boom-boom!  

Umuyobozi: Wumva izuba?  
Abantu: Rirasa!  

Umuyobozi: Ni bande baje?  
Abantu: Bose!  

Umuyobozi: Ngaho mwimure umubiri!  

*(Bass irazamuka)*

Boom-boom! Clap!  
Bisubiremo incuro ebyiri!  

Hey-oh! Hey!  
Inyeganyeze mu kindi cyerekezo!  

Amaboko hejuru,  
Amaso hasi!  

SUNDRUM!  
Reka bigende!  

*(Bass ikomeye cyane)*

**[FINAL CHORUS — Full Choir, Brass, Percussion]**

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!  
Wumve umunsi mushya uje!  

Kora, kora, ntugire ubwoba—  
Hagarara hano, komereza umuziki!  

Hey-oh! Hey-oh!  
Reka umuziki mwiza ukomeze!  

Intambwe imwe, ebyiri,  
Bose mu murongo!  

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!  
Umva isi yose iririmba!  

**[OUTRO — Guitar, Whistle, Fading Crowd Vocals]**

Oh-eh, oh-eh!  

Icyizere gito,  
Umucyo muke.  

Amajwi igihumbi,  
Mu ijoro.  

Sweefin—guhuza abantu,  
Gutanga umwanya wo gukura.  

Izuba, izuba, SUNDRUM!  

Wumve umunsi mushya uje!  

*(Boom-boom… clap!)*
