[Kirundi] When We're Gone

Lyrics

[Intro – Soft piano + distant choir]  
Hmmmm…  
Ohhh…  
Ahari turi igihe…  
Tuzosiga ibindi vyose…

[Verse 1]  
Twese turi mu nzira, naho iminsi igenda,  
Ivy'umuhororoni, indirimbo munsi y'ijuru.  
Ivyo twose twisunga, ivyo twipfuza gukora,  
Vyose bizoshira — ariko urukundo ruzoguma.

Twaba twarahojeje umutima wacitse intege?  
Twaba twafashije uwundi guhaguruka?  
Twaba twatanze vyinshi kuruta?  
Twaba twagereye n'umutima wuguruye?

[Pre-Chorus]  
Mu mpera si ifeza,  
Si inguvu dufise,  
Ni ubuzima dukorako mu nzira…

[Chorus / Hook – UNIVERSAL ANTHEM]  
🌍 Iyo tugenda — bizoguma?  
Urukundo twatanze, canke ryari rirenga?  
Imitima yose, ubuzima bwose tuzi —  
Ni isi dusiga iyo tugenda.

🌍 Iyo tugenda — bazohaguruka?  
Imitima ikomeye n'amaso afise icizere?  
Imitima yose twafashije —  
Ni kazoza iyo tugenda.

👉 (Soft Echo Layer)  
Iyo tugenda… iyo tugenda…

[Verse 2]  
Isi dusangiye irakomeye, ariko ni nziza kandi ifise amabanga,  
Ubutwari buke butanga urumuri rw'ikindi gihe.  
Nta n'umwe agendagenda wenyene iyo twahisemwo kubona,  
Ubuzima bwawe n'ubwanje ni inkuru imwe.

Higisha umwana i ruhande rwawe,  
Mwereke ukuntu urimwo kumwitwararika,  
Umwihere ibirenze ubwenge —  
Umuhere icizere co gusangira.

[Pre-Chorus]  
Ivyo tubiba mu mitima y'abantu,  
Bikura hejuru y'ivyo twese turi,  
Bizumvikana igihe kinini inyuma y'imisi yacu…

[Chorus / Hook – BIGGER LIFT]  
🌍 Iyo tugenda — bizoguma?  
Urukundo twatanze, canke ryari rirenga?  
Imitima yose, ubuzima bwose tuzi —  
Ni isi dusiga iyo tugenda.

🌍 Iyo tugenda — bazohaguruka?  
Imitima ikomeye n'amaso afise icizere?  
Imitima yose twafashije —  
Ni kazoza iyo tugenda.

👉 (Choir Layer)  
Haguruka… haguruka… bazohaguruka…

[Bridge – Choir + Global Voices]  
(Soft → Massive Build)  
Ohhh…

Turi ikiraro kuva ubu gushika mu buhororoni…

Shira ijwi ryawe hejuru — ku bo bazokurikira,  
Umukobwa wese, umuhungu wese.  
Ivyo tuzobaha ni inzira yabo,  
Ejo tuzoshira hejuru uyu musi.

Nta bwoba, nta gutandukana,  
Turi umwe — tuzohaguruka hamwe.

[Final Chorus / Outro – FULL HUMAN ANTHEM]  
🌍 Iyo tugenda — bizoguma?  
Urukundo twatanze, canke ryari rirenga?  
Imitima yose, ubuzima bwose tuzi —  
Ni isi dusiga iyo tugenda.

🌍 Iyo tugenda — bazohaguruka,  
N'icizere mu maso yabo.  
Imitima yose twafashije —  
Ni kazoza iyo tugenda.

👉 (Final Choir Chant)  
Turi umwe… turi umwe…

[Outro – Whisper + Piano Fade]  
Turi hano gusa…  
Tuzohumuriza umwe uwundi…
