Hinos - Ruanda(inglês) Lyrics

My Rwanda, land that gave me birth,
Fearlessly, tirelessly, I boast of you!
When I recall your achievements to this very day,
I praise the pioneers who have brought
in our unshakeable Republic.
Brothers all, sons of this Rwanda of ours,
Come, rise up all of you,
Let us cherish her in peace and in truth,
In freedom and in harmony!

Let the victory drums beat throughout all Rwanda!
The Republic has swept away feudal bondage.
Colonialism has faded away like a worn-out shoe.
Democracy, take root!
Through you we have chosen our own rulers.
People of Rwanda, old and young, citizens all,
Let us cherish her in peace and in truth,
In freedom and in harmony!

Home-born Rwandans all, beat the victory drums!
Democracy has triumphed in our land.
All of us together we have striven for it arduously.
Together we have decreed it- Tutsi, Twa,
Hutu, with other racial elements,
This hard-won Independence of ours,
Let us all join to build it up!
Let us cherish it in peace and in truth,
In freedom and in harmony!

Come let us extol our Flag!
Long live our President,
long live the citizens of our land!
Let this be our aim, people of Rwanda:
To stand on our own feet, in our own right,
by our own means.
Let us promote unity and banish fear.
Let us go forward together in Rwanda.
Let us cherish her in peace and in truth,
In freedom and in harmony!
