1 Hwasagala kanda ya myuho ya Babeli, hwasagala na huchirira
2 Ngoma zehu za ngephephe
3 Mana ariokala akahugbwira alonda huaimbire,
4 Hundaimbadze wira wa Mwenyezi Mlungu
5 Ichikala ndakuyala uwe Jerusalemu
6 Lilimi rangu narigbwirane na lilakalaka,
7 Ee Mwenyezi Mlungu usiyale vira Aedomu arivyohenda
8 Mwi atu a Babeli, mʼbanangadzi mkpwulu we!
9 Baha hiye ndiyehala anao
