KIMWE KYE BAJHOBA , VIRA SONG

Nabavyusa bavila, 
Nabavyusa bajhoba 
Mweshi ho
Muliho x2

Bashukulu beetu batusigile ndeeto 
Himangeni siye malanga ne ndeeto zetu.
Bakirage bahetiteta  Muvila atatula honiho.
Bakirage bahetiteta Mujhoba atatula honiho.

Betwe tuli bamwe 
Betwe tuli kumwe 
Betwe tuli mubombo 
Betwe tuli kumwe.

Nabavyusa bakwambaga be bajhoba, 
Misika,  bamawe na batata nabavyusa.
Ndeeto zetu zili missi yeetu , 
Mutenena, mutenena kya kweetu
Mwakole!  mwakole!
mwakole !mwakole!
       Mwakole!

Baalabu na banye babeya boshi basangana 
Bashukulu beetu ku Kitanga Kye Nika 
Mu bibalo byabo. 
Tuliho tuli honiho, 
Béné bibalo byose 
Tuli honiho. 

Betwe tuli bamwe 
Betwe tuli kumwe 
Betwe tuli mubombo 
Betwe tuli kumwe.

Bafipa,  bavila, 
Baholoholo,  batabwa,
Babuyu , babemba,
Bamasanzi, bahoma, 
Babwali , batongwe, 
Na baandi. 

Betwe tuli bamwe 
Betwe tuli kumwe 
Betwe tuli mubombo 
Betwe tuli kumwe.

Kibalo ne bandu 
Kisi bandu Kya zima kaya.
Mwenenu Alfonso II Warally Ngengethe Musabwa
Béné Kifumbi menémené kye bavila 

Betwe tuli bamwe 
Betwe tuli kumwe 
Betwe tuli mubombo 
Betwe tuli kumwe.
