IINKOTA IN ENGLISH (SWORD)
I am a sharp knife
Well known worldwide
The elderly and youth praise me
Even among animals my plan is on top
In lakes and shores
My sword has a place everywhere
Every live creature praises me at birth
It calls for help before I cut through its throat
I pierce, break up
Scatter.
My crown is Lucifer.
My fame leads me all around
Among all classes and levels
No pity or mercy
I always protect my kingdom.
I have a helper who can’t ever fail.
This is only one.
I selected it after research.
I was anxious to be ignored
Maybe after discovering its purpose
After discovering its origin…
Its major characteristic is wisdom…
Its characteristic is division
It twinkles like a star
It brings joy when you look at it
You just wish to lean over and look at it.
Even if you don’t get closer
There you celebrate
You get hope that you will get closer next day.
I will get you closer
Your beauty shall shower on me.
I will hug you and shower you with my love
Shall roll on you and make you my bedding
Request you to carry me on your back and take me everywhere you go
Anyone who tastes you it’s sweeter than honey
By all means I will chase and own you
I have also got you
I have been waiting for you
Then one I have infected…
I just make him my pillar
When I am just lucky and land on the disrespectful
I just buy his stomach and steal his heart
I first filter.
The honest and respectful
When I sense stubborn ones
I give them their share and go away.
I continue to look for one I will take for good
When I get one I carry him and tell him not to scare me with his honesty
When I give him bait
All the same I will take you.
I am like other workers
I am like a disciple looking for smart ones.
I also want many followers
I struggle not to be overpowered
You should remain in the few honest ones.
Let them be… I will take you if necessary I will give you a taste
You follow me known, after realising how sweet I am.
I will make you my slave
When I am lucky you will become my senior slave
When I get fed up I will drop you and get others
You will get unsettled and confused
Gone for nothing
I drop many in a desperate manner
Gone for nothing
I drop many in a desperate manner
The honest shall ignore you
You will lose connection
Counting the past
Which belong to others?
That I was once among the rich
They will mock you that you show off scars
I am terrible, anyone who tasted me does not ignore me
Very few stay with me and remain the same
I separate them from their friends
Sometimes they change their way of talking
He can change voices and others will know I have taken over.
I am criminal, without pity and I am not ashamed
It is not a lie, I am related to Lucifer
I do not fear separating families
I scatter them into pieces
I am not threatened. I even attack the parents
I make them reveal secrets and become unfaithful
Their children denounce them as parents
The lucky ones are those who escape from me
You own me with humbleness
Strong with determination and honesty
You will be liked
If I attack a country
I have many tactics.
The citizens divide themselves into two or more
Those under my governance praise me
They believe that they were born lucky
Because of my beauty that defines me
This country, unfortunately
They are covered with greed
Sometimes I give them more tactics
I am a professional tactician
I sometimes ignore them and see how they finish each other
Here the country shall be lost
From my watch point, I congratulate myself!
Oh! They rush to me before knowing who I am
Before they take time to research about me
In addition to uproot
Those who were born with greed
Even if it means to become unthreatened and kill and kill their people
And they continue to praise my character
They are some who refused to become my followers
They are instead swallowed alive
They also wonder and boast
Whatever it will be we will never be yours
Even where there are the latest weapons
My sword shall not fear
I move with my only one my usual sword of survival
Which is named MONEY.
They are who call it AMAHERA.
Because sometimes it can swallow respect, honour, to disappear forever.
UMUCO NIKI?
Umuco numwambaro wizihira nyirawo,
Ugira amahirwe arawitera
Ninkingi ishorera ubumwe, urukondo, ishyaka nubutwali.
Bikamuranga aho anyuze hose
Ukamuha ijambo ukamuha icyicaro.
Babimubonamo nyirawo bakabimwubahira.
Maze agatsinda niwe ubibanza,
Akubaha abandi akaba umwigisha.
Umuco nindanga muntu, nyirawo haraho batamenya uko yitwa.
Ugasanga bamusobanura mumyifatireye.
Bati ese uravuga wawundi wimico myiza?
Wawundi wubaha akanafasha imbabare.
Bati niba aruwo turamuzi, icyingenzi cyinamuranga
Nuko akize cyane aliko akaba atirata.
Kandi uriya yigeze nogucyena, jje warumuzi mulibyo bihe
Acyernye cyane ntiyigunze
Ngo atinye abandi abure ijambo.
Ngo yihebe bimutere guhemuka.
Kuriwe imibereho yose ntimukanga
Ngo ate umuco kubera ibyo bihe.
Arareka ibihe akaba aribyo binyeganyega
Bigahinduka uko bishaka.
Dore ko nubusangwe bavuga ko
imfura irikira ntiiyirate, yanakena ntihemuke.
Uyumushinga uri iwacu witerambere.
Numushinga udasubira inyuma.
Mumyaka yimbere nka 50 nambere yaho.
Urwanda ruzaba arurundi.
Urwubu barureba mubitabo.
Yemwe bana, ndabasaba ngo MUNYUMVE.
Burya kugenda bitera kubona.
Mwirinde guhemukira abejo
Mwibura umwanya wokwegera abakuru
Nimukunde umuco nyarwanda utunga nyirawo.
Ejo batazasanga
Ibyiswe imico kandi atarimico.
Ibyari bibi bikitwa byiza, ibyari byiza bikitwa
bibi
Umwijuto wabateye gusingiza ifaranga.
Batavaho bananirwa kurera abo babyaye
Bakabareresha mubandi
Bagakura buphubyi
Bagahinduka ibyigenge
Aho usanga abagore basheze ngo bahunduke abagabo!
Abagabo nabo baharanira guhinduka abagore!
Ngo bajijutse kandi bazi uburenganzi bwabo.
Bati nimureke umugabo arongora umugabo
Umugore nawe arongora umugore.
Ntihagire uwubahirwa ko akuze.
Umukuru nawe ntiyubahe abaruta ngo abahe urwo rugero
Mbe bicurikirana bivange vange rubure gica.
Mukomere kumuco Nyarwanda
Kuko umuryango utagira umuco uracika
Igihugu cyitawufite cyikorama
Uwufite umutera ubwema akagira igikundiro
Agatera ubwuzu abamuri hafi, bakamusobanuza aho akomoka.
Uwo ahabwiye akahakunda aribwo akihumva.
Mumenye ko imico nyarwanda ari nkigihango
Idatatirwa arumurage.
Kandi imico yiwacu igira uko yitwa.
Abakurambere bayise Imico KARANDE.
What Is Cultural Norm?
Cultural normal is dressing that fits the owner
The luck one wears it
Is the pillar of unity, happiness, love, zeal and courage?
It identifies him or her wherever he or she go
It gives the person speech and platform
It is identified in the owner and is respected
He or she finally leads and succeeds
Respect others and become their teacher
Cultural norm is a personal identity; others might not even know your name
They will describe you in regard to your conduct
Eh do you mean that person with good conduct
That one who is extraordinarily respectful
Yes, we know him or her due to his or her good conduct
He or she is rich but do not boast.
He or she has even been poor.
During poverty periods, he or she did not isolate himself or herself.
Did not lose hope to become shameful.
He or she is not scared of anything.
Does not drop the norm due to changing situations
He or she lets a situation shake itself.
And changes as they wish.
They are saying that gentleman neither boasts when he is rich, nor when he is poor
This is our pillar for development
This program of AGACIRO is not backwards.
In 50 years or before from today
Rwanda will be a different country
The present Rwanda will be history published in the books.
He children.
Listen to me
When you travel you see different things.
Avoid disappointments the future generation
Do not fail to spare time for discussing with the elders.
And you parents do not fail to get time for your children.
Love a Rwandan cultural norm which supports its natives
Future generations should not find the so called norms, not the real ones
What was bad being called good, and good called bad?
Greed led to Praise Money
They fail to nurture their children
They are nurtured by others
They grow like orphans
They turn rebellious
Perform atrocities
They lack friendship and are neglected
They are left in friendship of dogs and TV.
Women will spearhead to become men!
When men will also spearhead to become women!
That they are educated and have equal rights!
Let a man marry a man!
And women marry a woman!
When no one will be respected for age
The elderly shall not respect the young
To lead as an example
They will be a mixed-up and have no solution.
Stick to Rwandan cultural norm
Know where you begin and end
The family without a norm breaks.
A country without a norm fails
The cultural norm of Rwandans to live together and help each other.
One with it is full of happiness and love
He becomes a concern to neighbours who ask him about his/her origin
The one he/she tells about it immediately loves it even it’s the first time they hear Rwanda.
Know that Rwanda norms are like a covenant
It is not force but a must
Our cultural norms have an identity
The fore fathers called it LONG LIFE CULTURAL NORMS.
INAMA YUBUTABAZI
Abana bati igihe kirageze
Imyaka ibaye myinchi
Ntidutegereze ngo haze iyindi
Dufate umuheto kuko bibaye ngombwa.
Rudatinya ahakomeye Rwigema Gisa Fred.
Na Kagame Paul bati nimuze twuzuze inama yubutabazi.
Bati ubu inkunga yacu igize akamaro Mozambiqe na Uganda
Rwigema ati umugore wigize igihinza mumajjaruguru ya Uganda
Niwe uzibyange azababwira
Ahonamushushubikanyaga
Muroha muli Kenya
Rakwena kugeza nubu yangize indahiro.
Nkunda isi yose aliko byumwahiliko nkunda Afrika.
Kuko nubusangwe utanga uburezi abwibanza.
Nicyo gituma nanze kuzagwa ishyanga.
Kandi Urwanda rumbyiruyeho intwali
Nkaterwa agahinda nuko mbyirukiye hanze
Nti ejo ntazavaho alinaho nsiga ubuzima bwange
Kandi ngifite inchingano zatumye mvuka.
Ngo nzatabaruke nageze iwacu.
Amaraso yange aliho nyasheshe
yaba umusemburo wamahirwe yabange
Ngasiga mpateye imbuto izaba karande.
Sindigenyine mfite abo twabyirukanye
Barambiwe kuba ishyanga.
Kandi niwacu ntaburinganire abahari barababaye
Nitubishyira iburyo turahamagara abahungu
Ndetse nabashiki bacu badakorwa mujisho
Maze tunononsora inama yubutabazi.
Bibaye ngombwa ngo duhindure umuheto.
Tuwerekeze kuli Kinani kuko yigize ikiragi
Atinyutse kutubwira ko Urwanda rwuzuye
ngo nkikirahure cyuzuye amazi ntitwahakwirwa!
Kandi byanze bikunze tuzahakwirwa
Yiyibagije ko aho umwaga utari uruhu
rwisasira batanu.
Cyanga ko ntamubyeyi unanirwa ikibondo
Yanze kutwumva kuneza
Akitwita inyenzi dore ko yaba akeka ko tucyiri zazindi
Akibagirwa ko turi abubu.
Ntanashishwa akanatwita Inyangarwanda!
Abana bashegeshwe nogukurira imahanga
Agahinda twakuranye kaduteye ubutwari
Ikindi turi kwisi hose, nomubirwa bya Pacific
turahali, ahohose twahashye ubuhanga
Nidukoma imbarutso impuruza yacu izagera kure
Abasore kwisi hose bazafata umuheto
Nabo mu Rwanda bucece bazatuvuna.
Ababyeyi bacu bazasigara.
Aliko inyuma aho bali bazadufasha
Bose abacu inyuma, inkunga yabo bazayimenya
Twabanye neza ninshuti zacu nazo zizatavuna.
Inama yubutabazi igihe cyayo cyirageze
Kagame Paul ati reka nsige inyuma Rwigema nje kwiga
Ndamwizeye nicyo gituma ngiye
Nibiba ngombwa nzabavuna
Nzaza vuba kuko nzaguruka
Icyo mbijeje nuko nimpagera
Urwanda rwacu ruzaba intanga rugero
Nzarubera igiti cyumuzabibu
Nzashibure amashami yamahoro hirya hino
Abanyarwanda banwe divai
Igihugu cyose gishire inyota
Nzaba ndigiti kinganzamarumbo
Kidahungabanwa nimiyaga
Abakunda amahoro banyegere
Amahan
ga ahuruzwe nokwiga ibyizontwari
Iyinama yacu iziye kugihe.
Ndayishyigikiye.
Rutaremara Tito na Mazimpaka Patrick
Bati nimuhumure tubali hafi
Tuzababera abajjanama badahuga
Tubahugure hose aho muli.
Kandi twitonde mubushishozi
Byanze bikunze dutsinde abanzi
Inama yubutabazi turayishyigikiye
Mugambage Frank na Kayizare Ceasar
Bati tulikumwe na Rutatina Eugen
Ntaho tuzatinya, ntawe tuzatinya
Imyaka ibaye myinchi tutazwi
None reka tujje ahagaraga baturebe
Ntakizaduhagarara imbere ubu turagiye
Iki nigihe cyokubyuka turaje
Inama yubutabazi turayishyigikiye
Ndushabandi balikumwe na Mutimbo
bati twe turabaganga
Reka tugende tuzabavura
Aho imiti izava biratureba
Ikiza burya tuli kwisi hose
Inama yubutabazi turayishyigikiye
Kabarebe Gemes ati burya polotiq yubuke ntijja inkanga
Ikinkanga nubuke bwibitekerezo
Tuzagenda tulingangurarugo
Nzaba ndi I Rwanda kandi ndi Congo
Nzashinge iteka muli Africa nkumunyarwanda
Nyobore ingabo zibihugu bibili mugihe kimwe
Kuko ubu byanze bikunze turatabaye
Ati sinategereza kuzongera kubwirwa ko hirya hino nanzwe
Iryo nabwiwe rikantera agahinda numujinya wubutwali
Iryatumye nsanga Museveni mwishyamba
Sinazarira ejo umwana wange atazalibwirwa
None inama yubutabazi ndayishyigikiye
Nzaramba Martin bati wowe ubwo witonda
Uzakoreshe siasa yabongereza
Ubundi ngo niyo dipromas
Kubwira neza umwanzi usanze
Ntavumbure ko umucenga
Bigatuma yibagirwa akasamanga
Ugafata ibyemezo uvuga uti ngufashe mpili.
Ahasigaye inama yubutabazi tuyikomereho
Kaka Sam ati iyonama ndayishyigikiye
Reka tuzatahe ubudasubira inyuma
Byibura abacu batinyuke kwitwa Mutabazi na Nyampinga
Katende na Namatovu tujje tuyasura.
Karenzi Karacye na Nyamvumba bati siyasa yacu niyubwira
Ntidushaka kuzatinda tucyitwa inyeshyamba
Ntidushaka ko urwacu ruzaba nkorwa Angola cyanga muli Sudani
Turaashaka ko ibyacu bitungana bidatinze
Kuko intego yacu arukubona Afrika yose ituje tukava mubuja burundu
Ndetse dutware urugero rwibyacu muri Sudan.
Kayiteesi Doline na Roze Kanyange babwira Inyumba.
Bati iyinama tuyivuzeho iki
Bazana abandi bakobwa bajja hamwe
Bati nibyo tulibato kandi beza
Aliko ntitwigeze duteta kuko ntaho dutetera
Benchi hano turabali kandi iwacu baradukunze
Ukuyeho ko natwe tutiyanze
Basaza bacu ntibambuka bonyine twaronse limwe
