RWANDA RWIZA
INTRO/ICYIVUGO
Nzindukanye ibakwe, nkereye umurimo, nshishikajwe no gukora byose ntacyo mpeje ngo
nguteze intambwe ijya mbere, nkubumbe mu ishusho ibereye abanyarwanda twese uko
watubyaye.
Ubwenge, umutima, n’amaboko yanjye ndabikweguriye, bigukorere bitiganda, umunezero wanjye
ube gutaramana akanyamuneza nsoje umurimo.
Rwanda rwiza gihugu cy’amahoro. Utatse ubwiza utatse abeza, abakurebye ntibahumbya, abagusuye
baragaruka. Abo wibarutse twese utwambitse ishema.
Jya mbere ngobyi iduhetse, komeza ukataze wese imihigo, abo wabyaye intego yacu ni imwe;
Ntituzigera ducocora ku murimo tuzagukorera…
CHORUS 1:
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
Amaboko yacu agukungahaze, maze ukomeze utunge utunganirwe
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
Ibikorwa by’izi ntoki zacu bikunogereze uhore uberwa.
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
Ntituzakuratisha amagambo, ibikorwa byawe byivugire…
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
Umusaruro w’ibituvuna, tuwuhurize wose ku mbehe imwe, maze abagize umuryango mugari
tuyisangirireho twese.
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
– Duterwe ishema n’ibyo tugezeho ariko dukomeze dukore
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
– Twamagane ba rumunzi, batinyuka n’abahunitse bike
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
– Duhashye (na) ba rukuzabondo barya n’ibyabatarica isari
Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
Ntiduhugire mu gitaramo, ngo twivuge ibigwi twivuge imyato, Ibyo twagezeho tubisigasire,
Twirangazwa n’abadusingiza inzira iracyari ndende.
ICYIVUGO:

Rwanda komeza utere imbere wese imihigo.
