Burundi bwâcu, rági ry'ábasôkúru,
Ramutswa intahe n'íbihúgu,
Ufatanije ishyaka n'ubú hizi;
Vuza impundu wiganzuye uwakúganza uwakúganza.
Burundi bwâcu, nkóramútima kurí twese,
Tugutuye amabóko, umítima n'úbuzima,
Imâna yakúduhaye ikudútungire.
Horana umwami n'ábagabo n'ítekane.
Sagwa n'úrweze, sagwa n'ámahóro mezá.
Cher Burundi, héritage sacré de nos aïeux,
Reconnu digne de te gouverner
Au courage tu allies le sentiment de l'honneur.
Chante la gloire de ta liberté reconquise.
Cher Burundi, digne objet de notre plus tendre armour,
A ton noble service nous vouons nos bras, nos cœurs et nos vies.
Veuille Dieu, qui nous a fait don de toi, te conserver à notre vénération.
Sous l'egide de l'Unité,
Dans la paix, la joie et la prospérité.
When the hour came, you arose,
Lifting yourself proudly into the ranks of free peoples.
Receive, then, the congratulations of the nations
And the homage of your sons.
May your name ring out through the universe.
Beloved Burundi, sacred heritage from our forefathers,
Recognized as worthy of self-government,
With your courage you also have a sense of honour.
Sing the glory of liberty conquered again.
Beloved Burundi, worthy of our tenderest love,
We vow to your noble service our hands and hearts and lives.
May God, who gave you to us, keep you for us to venerate,
Under the shield of unity,
In peace, joy and prosperity.
