Nkimara kumeny’iby’umwami Yesu (After knowing more about the. King)
Numvaga nanijwe n’ibyaha byanjye (I felt overwhelmed by my sins)
Imitwaro induhij’umutima wanjye (Burdens weighed on my heart)
Nibazaga iherezo ry’inzira zanjye (In wondering the end of my ways)
Ntangira kuzinukwa, ibyo nakundaga (I began to despise what I loved)
‘by’ibinezeza by’isi (All the worldly pleasures)
Ntangira kubaha, ibyo nateshaga agaciro (I started to respect, what I despised)

Yanyiyeretse mu gicuku cy’ijoro (He appeared to me in the middle of the night)
Mbeg’umugabo mwiza cyane! (What a wonderful man!)
Eh, uyu Yesu, uyu Yesu, uyu Yesu (Yes, this Jesus, this Jesus, this Jesus)
Ntawusa nawe, nigeze mbona (I’ve never seen anyone like him)

Nakumenye kera utarab’ urusoro (I knew you long before you were born)
