Ilyashi lya lelo lyayumfwa bwino
Takwaba icakukalipa
Twatula fye mu mutende
Ico twikata ca mutende
Icifulwa ca mweo uwashipa
Twaimbila pamo muli ubu bushiku
Takwaba uwafulwa nangu panono
Amenshi nayatwala insansa
Mu mutima mwaba ukuseka
Tatulefwaya ifyakupata
Lelo ni lelo lya kuipakisha
Icifulwa ca mutende
Epo twashikila ubumi
Takwaba icakufutika
Twaleumfwana fye bonse
Icifulwa ca mutende
Epo twashikila ubumi

Ubusuma bwa bumi bwakulisha
Nga tuleisambilila ukutemwana
Nangu ubushiku bwa kupwila
