Igare

Iri gare mujya munyoga
Mukarinyonga inchuro nyamwinshi
Ridaciriwe n’urubanza
Reka mbabwire uko naribonye.

Rigira amahembe ariko ntiryica
Rigira amasasu atagira imbunda
Rigira umunyururu nta ngororwa
Rigira ibiboko nka ba bandi.

Rigira imipira ritifubika
Rigira ibirenge bitigenza
Rigira umusingi ariko inkwi ntazo
Rigira n’inkingi nk’inzu ya cyera.

Rigira ifarasi itagira ubwoya
Rigira inanga ridacuranga
Rigira imashini itadoda ikanga
Rigira n’inzogera, ryagutura zikirenga.

Rigira sitade ikarihagarika
Iritayigira ni “Mfashanyare”
Ryasaza ngo ni ”Kajaganya”
Irishya ryo ryitwa Mutongoro !

Rigira n’intebe imbere n’inyuma
Rikanaheka ariko ntiryonse
Kandi nta ngobyi naribonanye
Ntirinavuka bararihanga.
