BURUNDI Song’s lyrics: YASA N’IRIRENGA by BAHAGA, edited by GAD BRIGHTON

1st VERSE

Hiyo iwacu iyo nakuriye

Habaye umwana yari intore

Yari umuyabaga yarezwe runtu

Yari akarorero murunganwe

Uyo mwana ni katihabwa

Yarakunzwe eka yarakundwa

Yari umukirisu ntiyasiba misa

Niko yarezwe ntiyahemuka

 

CHORUS

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irirenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka aaah

Yasa n’irirenga

 

2nd VERSE

Aho yankunda naje nkamukunda

Sije namujanye ihibambewe

Barayamaze ngo ‘Hayaga abangana.’

Abatware nibo bamuntwaye

 

CHORUS

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irirenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka aaah

Yasa n’irirenga

3rd VERSE

Nzokwama nicara

Kuri kagasozi

Kumucamo

Hamwe yahora aca

Nzotega amaso

Y’uko yogaruka

Aze anzaniye wamutima

 

CHORUS

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irirenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka aaah

Yasa n’irirenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka

Yasa n’irirenga

Yitwa tiro ry’inka aaah

Yasa n’irirenga
