[Kirundi] Motherland

Lyrics

[Intro]  
Oh na-na, vyuka, Afrika yerekanira!  
Amahera ariko ararungika!  
Sweefin irongoye, turiko turaduga,  
Umuziki wa kinyarwanda, wumve iryo banga!

[Verse 1]  
Kuva ku gasozi gushika ku mabarabara,  
Turiko turagenda, kazoza karacana.  
Ubucuruzi buriko buraduga,  
Iminyororo iracika, ntakibuza.  
Oh, kuva Accra gushika Nairobi kweranda,  
Sweefin itegura inzira yo gukura.  
Fata ukuboko, dufatanye guhaguruka,  
Kubaka ubutunzi mu gihugu cose.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, amahera ku mugabane wacu,  
Ingo tuze kubyina, abantu bahaguruke.  
Gucika ivyo twugaye, turasambura ukuta,  
Guhereza inguvu, twese turashirwa hejuru.  
Oh-oh, vyuka ubyine, biri mu maboko yawe,  
Ijwi rya Afrika, wumve ingoma.  
Sweefin irajwe n’ivyizigiro iri joro,  
Amahera ararasa, kazoza karacana.

[Verse 2]  
Nta mugabo asigaye, nta mwamikazi inyuma,  
Isi yose izobona, turiko turahindura.  
Amahera ariko araduga, dufungura amarembo,  
Ubukene buragiyeyo, turiko turahindura.  
Oh mama, seka, umwana wawe azokura,  
Imbuto za Sweefin, umwimbu uzoboneka.  
Amahera ararasa, ijuru riratomoye,  
Indirimbo y’ubutunzi hose!

[Bridge]  
Wumve umuziki, oh, ureke ugende,  
Kuva Cape Town gushika ku Nili.  
Amahera ariko ararungika mu mabarabara,  
Wumve ingoma ikuramutse.  
Ibihugu birahaguruka, indoto iraramba,  
Ububasha bwa Sweefin burazoguma.  
Ubucuruzi n’ukwizera mu gihugu cose,  
Hamwe turi imbaraga, turaguka.

[Chorus]  
Oh-oh, amahera ku mugabane wacu,  
Ingo tuze kubyina, abantu bahaguruke.  
Gucika ivyo twugaye, turasambura ukuta,  
Guhereza inguvu, twese turashirwa hejuru.  
Oh-oh, vyuka ubyine, biri mu maboko yawe,  
Ijwi rya Afrika, wumve ingoma.  
Sweefin irajwe n’ivyizigiro iri joro,  
Amahera ararasa, kazoza karacana.

[Outro]  
Oh eeh, reka amahera arungike,  
Mu maboko yose, urukundo rwerekanire.  
Afrika iriko iraduga, oh, ni ikirangaminsi,  
Hamwe turiko turagenda, ukuboko mu kuboko.  
Na-na, na-na, byina iri joro,  
Amahera arasa neza.  
Umuziki wa kinyarwanda, inzira ya Sweefin,  
Ejo rirakirana kuva uno musi!
