Kirundi.
Burundi bwacu, Burundi buhire,<br>
Shinga icumu mu mashinga,<br>
Gaba intahe y'ubugabo ku bugingo.<br>
Warapfunywe ntiwapfuye,<br>
Warahabishijwe ntiwahababuka.<br> 
Uhagurukana, Uhagurukana, Uhagurukana ubugabo urikukira.<br>
Komerwa amashi n'amakungu, uhabwe impundu n'abawe,<br>
Isamirane mu mashinga, Isamirane mu mashinga.
Burundi bwacu, ragi rya ba sokuru,<br>
Ramutswa intahe n'ibihugu,<br>
Ufatanije ishaka n'ubuhizi;<br>
Vuza impundu wiganzuye uwakuganza uwakuganza.
Burundi bwacu, mpora mutima kuri twese,<br>
Tugutuye amaboko, umutima n'ubuzima,<br>
Imana yakuduhaye ikudutungire.<br>
Horana ubumwe n'abagabo n'itekane.<br>
Sagwa n'urweze, sagwa n'amahoro meza.

Burŭndi Bwâcu, Burŭndi buhĭre,<br>
Shīnga icúmu mu mashīnga,<br>
Gaba intăhe y'úbugabo ku bugīngo.<br>
Warápfunywe ntiwapfûye,<br>
Waráhabīshijwe ntiwahababuka,<br>
Uhagurukana, uhagurukana, uhagurukana, ubugabo urîkūkira.<br>
Komerwa amáshi n'ámakūngu,<br>
Hābwa impŭndu n'âbâwé,<br>
Isāmírane mu mashīnga, isāmírane mu mashīnga.
Burŭndi bwâcu, rági ry'ábasôkúru,<br>
Ramutswa intăhe n'íbihúgu,<br>
Ufátanije ishaka n'ubúhizi;<br>
Vuza impŭndu wĭgānzūye uwakúgānza uwakúgānza.
Burŭndi bwâcu, nkóramútima kurí twëse, <br>
Tugutūye amabóko, umutíma n'úbuzima,<br>
Imâna yakúduhāye ikudútūngire.<br>
Horana ubúmwe n'ábagabo n'ítĕkāne.<br>
Sāgwa n'úrwĕze, sāgwa n'ámahóro mēzá.

Cher Burundi, ô doux pays,<br>
Prends place dans le Concert des nations.<br>
En tout bien, tout honneur, accédé à l'indépendance.<br>
Reçois donc le compliment des nations,<br>
Agrée l'hommage de tes enfants.<br>
Qu'à travers l'univers retentisse ton nom.
Cher Burundi, héritage sacré de nos aïeux,<br>
Reconnu digne de te gouverner<br>
Au courage tu allies le sentiment de l'honneur.<br>
Chante la gloire de ta liberté reconquise.
Cher Burundi, digne objet de notre plus tendre armour,<br>
A ton noble service nous vouons nos bras, nos cœurs et nos vies.<br>
Veuille Dieu, qui nous a fait don de toi, te conserver à notre vénération.<br>
Sous l'egide de l'Unité,<br>
Dans la paix, la joie et la prospérité.

Our Burundi, gentle country,<br>
Take your place in the concert of nations,<br>
Acceding to independence with honourable intentions.<br>
Wounded and bruised, you have remained master of yourself.
When the hour came, you arose,<br>
Lifting yourself proudly into the ranks of free peoples.<br>
Receive, then, the congratulations of the nations<br>
And the homage of your sons and daughters.<br>
May your name ring out through the universe.
Our Burundi, sacred heritage from our forefathers,<br>
Recognized as worthy of self-government,<br>
With your courage you also have a sense of honour.<br>
Sing the glory of liberty conquered again.
Our Burundi, worthy of our tenderest love,<br>
We vow to your noble service our hands and hearts and lives.<br>
May God, who gave you to us, keep you for us to venerate,<br>
Under the shield of unity,<br>
In peace, joy and prosperity.
