Ni dyar'izuba, Rizagaruka, Hejuru yacu,
Ni nduzaricyeza ricyeza.

Rwanda, Rwanda,
Yeah Rwanda, Rwanda.

They said : "Many are called and few are chosen, "
But I wish some wasn't chosen
For the blood spilling of Rwanda.

They said : "Meshach Eshach and Abednego,
Thrown in the fire but you never get burned, "
But I wish that I didn't get burned in Rwanda.

They said : "The man is judged according to his works, "
So tell me Africa, what's your worth ?

There's no money, no diamonds, no fortunes
On this planet that can replace Rwanda…

Rwanda Rwanda

Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda



These are the cries of the children

Rwanda Rwanda

Anybody hear my cry ?

If America, is the United States of America,
Then why can't Africa, be the United States of Africa ?

And if England, is the United Kingdom,
Then why can't Africa unite all the kingdoms
And become United Kingdom of Africa ?

Rwanda Rwanda, Rwanda Rwanda
Yeah, yeah.

These are the cries of the children, yeah.

Can anybody out there hear our cries ?

Yeah, heavens cry... Jesus cry.

Lord, did you hear us calling you ?
Yeah, Rwanda Rwanda,

Lord, did you hear us calling ?
Can you do something in Rwanda ?
