Bakunzi banjye, nshuti, dusangira akabisi n’agahiye.
Uyu munsi mfite agahinda.
Niwo Gicanda umwamikazi w’Rwanda yiciweho na jenocide yakorewe abatutsi.
Yari umubyeyi n’inshuti yanjye.
Yagiraga imbabazi n’imico myiza.
Najyaga yo na Kayirege murumuna wanjye, igihe cyari icyaha no kumusura!
Tugateta tukaririmba tukabyina.
Tukabatera imbabazi bakishima we n’umubyeyi we babanaga!
Namwise” Inyange Muhorakeye” mu ndirimbo namuhimbiye mfite imyaka 20
No mu Bubirigi twarahahuriye no mu Busuwisi ndahamusura
Tukamushengerera
Uko umwamikazi abikwiye.
Nimumfashe tumukunde ubugira kenshi!
