R/ Nayunvirhe nasima 
Ene bambwira mpu 
Rhuje omunyumpa ya Nyakasane 
Amagulu girhu gano 
Gakola gali umubululi
Omu bululi bwa Yerusalemu

1. Yerusalemu muyubake nka, 
Nka cishagala cisezire buzibu
Lyo amashanja 
Ga Nyakasane goshi gayinamukire 
Gakuz’izino lya larha, 
Nk’oku Israeli arhegesirwe

2. Yerusalemu eb’entebe z’emanja
Entebe z’enyumpa ya Daudi
Yakulizagi omurhula 
gube eYerusalemu
Abakusima, 
babe n’omurhula omurhula
Akalemb’omubululi bwawe
N’omurhul’omuminene yawe
