Kiguru cha ndayanza



Nzizominyanga rimenya ryitu
Ryakwamenya hano
Muvuyanzi vwa baba na mama
Vana vitu vosi hosi havaveye
Ndavavorera
Kiguru cha ndayanza
Keveye mungereka mura

Avamenyanga mukiguru cha ndayanza
Avegombaa kiguru cha ndayanza
Avasiza mukiguru chandayanza
Mbavoreraa
Kiguru chandayanza
Keveye mungereka mura

Nzizominyanga rimenya ryitu
Hango hitu hakwayanza
Vosi vavezanga hango hitu avarina vitu
Navuza yaga gosi
Mboraa
Kiguru chandayanza
Keveye mungereka mura
