JEAN Baptiste Byumvuhore

Ukuri

Ukuri nze nkubabwire,

Ukumva umuntu aho ari hose

Ashaka ko bose bamubwira ukuri

Kandi we ntawe ajya akubwira.

Umuntu yibaza ukuri icyo ari cyo

Kuko yabyirukanye n’abamubeshya

Kandi na we ariko abanyomeka.

Ukuri nta bara kugira

Nta muhanga uguhiga abandi

Ukuri ni ko turahira.

Umunyakuri nze mubabwire,

Ukiyemeza kujya uvuga ukuri

Nyamara rubanda bo bakabeshyana

Nawe ukitwa umubeshyi wa cyane.

Ukuri gushaka iyako nzira

Ikinyoma kikakurya isataburenge

Byagerayo nyirabyo akabicangacanganya.

Ntawe ubeshya ngo habeshya rubanda

Ntawe ushukika habeshywa abaswa gusa

Mbese wowe uri hehe?

Umunyakuri nongere mubabwire,

Ubundi umunyakuri arabigendana

Akabibana bisomeka mu maso he

Yaryama bwacya bakabyukana.

Ntajya arahira mu magambo ye

Akubwira nyine uko wemera nangwa wanga

Ku bimureba aba afite umutima ukeye.

Akagira inenge yo kwemera bose

Akumva yuko ari ntawe umubeshya

Yabimenya bikamubabaza cyane.

Umunyabinyoma nze mubabwire,

Umunyabinyoma arabigaragaza

Atara igihuha kandi agenda agikwiza

Nguwo aravuga nk’urimo amabuye.

Ntabwo agoheka iyo aryamye

Yibaza byinshi ku byo azinduka abeshya

Umutwe akawushyushya, rimwe bikamuhira.

Atera ubwoba abanyakuri bagaceceka

Akaguma abeshya bwacya akibeshya

Nguwo uwo ni we ni we ukomanga.

Ukuri kwagize ubwoba,

Dore iki gihe tugezemo

Umuntu yirukanye ukuri kose

Yakumva wowe ukuvuze ukaba umwanzi.

Oya oya ntabwo bikwiye

Ko ababeshya baturusha ijwi hejuru tugaceceka

Ukuri kukajya kwihisha.

Nyamara natwe tubiziho

Tuyoberwa impamvu tudahuza

Ukuri ni kumwe si kubiri.

Nawe rero nkwibwirire,

Erega ntibazakubeshye

N’utagira inkweto ashobora kuvuga ukuri,

Kandi agahora aguhumeka

Erega ntibazakubeshye

N’ibiganza bitagira inzara

bibumbatira isimbi

Ntugatambuke.

Sinshaka gushyushya imitwe ya rubanda

Sindahira nk’ababeshyabeshya

Sinkwiza igihuha nka bariya

Simbeshya nka semuhanuka

Sinsakuza nk’abavugira ku mabuye

Sinjyanye no kuvugaguzwa

Simberewe no kucyatsa
