Nimiruho twanyuzemo twarikumwe
Turambukana tubakubite ingabo mubitugu
Ntiturushanwa nabo mumbaraga zamaboko
Igikora nimbaraga zomumutwe turazifite
Nubwihangane bwumutima kamere muntu
Kandi ibihe byubu dukoresha mashini.
Sinkibya Ndabaga byarimiheto gakondo
Turashinga ikirenge mucye, aliko twe ntitwigira abahungu
Mureke dutabare turabakobwa.
Aho tuzaba tulihose, basaza bacu tubabe hafi
Kandi tubabereye Nyampinga
Inama yubutabazi turayishyigikiye
Reka tugende tucyure abandi bana
Bazige bamenyubwenge
Amanota yabo ajje aba ayabo
Ataribyi I Burundi bagenerwage ayabo
Cyanga I Rwanda kubwa Kinani
Ntibazabuzwa kwinjira Kaminuza
Nko muri Kenya UN ningabo zabo babimira.
Ngo kaminuza sizizimpunzi
Aliko ubwo umwana azajja yiga
Kuba alinde cyanga alinde
Bitamukura umutima ngo atinye.
Rose Kanyange bati wowe ufite ikibondo
Reka tugende urere uruhinja
Ati uwomwana arasigara ngende
Kuko nchaka kuzamurerera i Rwanda
Ikindi ndashaka kuzahangana numufaransa
Harukuntu akeka ko kuba umwirabura
Bisobanura kutagira umutima nkawe
Ndagirango nzababere ishuli
Mbakure mubitotsi bangire indahiro.
Bizabatere kubaha umwirabura hose aho bamusanze
Bati burya abirabura nabo nabantu
Bati ahubwo ducishe make bitadukoza isoni
Inama yubutabazi ndayishyigigikiye
Kandi ndambutse ndagiye
GAHONZIRE Mary ati ndahali
Jje nzajja mbamenyera hirya hino
Hatazagira ikizaza bucece kikabakanga
Hatazagira ikizabahungabanya
Nzakoresha ubuhanga ubwo mfite bwose
Ubwamashuli, uburere nubuvuke
Kandi mukazi ndumuhanga
Umunyarwandakazi azabe intanga rugero
Murwamubyaye nomumahanga.
Inama yubutabazi ndayishyigikiye.
Aho yaliyicaye Kayitare Emmanuel ati byose nabyumvise
Ibyinama yubutabazi ndikumwe namwe
Igihe cyokubabwira ibanga nicyi
Jje nali nalimenye nkirumwana
Kandi nabibwiwe nabambyaye
Ko ndumwe mubahanuwe bataravuka
Bati umunsi urwanda ruzagera ahaga
Hazaduka intwari imeze nka Ruganzu
Izarwitangira rukava ibuzimu rukajja ibumuntu
Ishusho yarwo igatangaza amahanga.
Abahanuzi bati icyogihe cyange.
Nzaba igitambo nzabe insinzi yabange.
Kumunsi bazahura nabasazi bambaye amashara.
Biyuhagiye amaraso
Igihe kizaba cyiegeze
Cyuko Urwanda rutemba amata rwaziganilijwe na Rurema
None nimuhaguruke dutabare igihe kirageze
Jje mpisemo ko muzamparira Uruhengeli nu Murera
Nzatsinda butwari icyo gihe nzaba mfite nizina ryubwema.
Nzaba naramaze kubatizwa ko ndi Intare batinya.
Nkusi Sam ati nzaza mbereke ubuhanga nahashye ibuzungu
Nimuhumure nzahanga radio Muhabura
Izahangane nizabanzi bibajijishe
Ihabure abacu bakore bugenge bitangaze
Bati ibyababana ntibisanzwe tubitege amaso
Bibulirwe izina bati ibi nibyo bita ubutatu butagatifu.
Iyonama yubutabazi ndayishyigikiye
Rusagara Franc ati iyonama ndayishyigikiye
Nange maze iminsi ndota Urwanda
Ngo ndikurugamba ndwana inkundura
Bati uyumusore wambariye urugamba
Unatera intambwe nka Nyiringango, yambaye insinzi
Kandi nkarota nganje natsinze abagome
Ngobabaririza abo turibo tarangwa nubutwari
Turakuze reka dutabalire Urwanda
Nziza Jack ati ntimunsiga turajjana
Burya kuba umufumbira bisobanura ubunyarwanda
Amateka yacu ntadutera isoni
Imipaka yaje ejubundi ntimuyishinge
Ejo ntazatinya intango yintwari ntalikigwali.
Inama yubutabazi ndayishyigikiye
Kayonga Charles ati nibyo tugende
Muzareke mbanze kumurwa i Kigali

Kubera ubuhanga nzaba njanye
Bankekere kumibare mbabwiye bahere kuliyo

Tuzihisha tuze mubone tulikumwe
Ntako mukibigize mureke tuhagume
Maze twiyoberanye ngo turabana

Abo mumajjaruguru ya Uganda barahindukira
Abaganga basiga amakote mubyumba
Abalimu nabo mubiro biha ibiruhuko
Ababyeyi bamwe barasezerwa,
Abana bati mwemere mwange Umusindi yarenze akarwa.
Zere zirabure turagiye
Ahubwo mwitungurwa igihe cyirageze.
Nimwahe impumbya,mudufatire iryiburyo turatabaye.

LIBERATION LAUNCH
Children said, time is up.
Too many years have come to pass
We should not wait for more years
Let us get arms as it has become a must
Brave Rwigema Gisa Fred and
Kagame Paul said let us unite and build the liberation team
Now that our cause is supported by Mozambique and Uganda
Rwigema said that a woman rebels in Northern Uganda
She knows me and will tell you more
It gave her hard time, chased her from place to place
Dumped her into Kenya
Lakwena up now swears my name
I love the world but especially Africa because it is the pearl and beginning
That is why I cannot die in foreign land
Yet Rwanda has raised warriors
I feel sad that I am raised from foreign land
I have a fear that I might die in foreign land too
Yet I have a purpose of being born
I will rest when I reach home
My blood shed at my home country
This might be blessing to my country men and women
Planting a seed which will widely grow
I am not alone but with others together we grew
They are all tired of living as foreigners
/> At home there is no democracy,
After we have laid our work plan,
Even our sisters shall not be left out
Here was launched a liberation meeting.
It is necessary to change the direction for arms
Direct the arms towards the dictator with deaf ears
Without fear he told us that Rwanda is full
That like a glass full of water, we cannot be accommodated
But through all ways we shall be accommodated
Forgetting that where there is a will, there is a way,
Also no mother fails to look after her baby
He refused to listen peacefully
He still call us rebels expecting us to be the previous ones
Forgetting that we are modern
Without sensitivity he calls us rebels
That we didn’t deserve Rwanda!
Children groomed and raised in foreign land
Grew in sorrow which gave us courage
We are scattered all over the world, including the Pacific
We are all over the world and we are educated
Once we hold the trigger, our case shall move faster
Boys and girls all over the world shall get arms
Those in Rwanda will secretly support us
Our parents shall stay behind
But behind them, shall get support
All our people shall know their contribution
We have lived in harmony, have been our good friends
Liberation Launch! Time is up
Kagame Paul said let me leave Rwigema and go for further studies.
I trust him, that is why I have to go.
Where there is urgency, I will burden you
I will come back soon, as soon as I will know I will fly.
I assure you when I reach my home country
Our Rwanda will be its olive tree
I will grow wide branches of peace side by side
Rwandans will drink wine
The whole country shall quench its thirst
I will be a tree which can’t be shaken.
A firm tree which is not easily shaken by any wind
Those who love peace shall come to study and consult about the fighters
Our Liberation Launch has come at the right time.
I support it.
Rutaremara Tito and Mazimpaka Patrick
Do not worry, we are close to you
We shall be your genuine advisors
We shall advise you wherever you go
We shall be careful with secret investigations
By all means we shall overcome the enemies
Liberation Launch we support you.
Mugambage Frank and Kayizare Caesar
We are together with Rutatina Eugene
We shall not fear any place or one
For many years, we have not been in limelight
Let us go in limelight and they see us
Nothing will stop us, we are set to go
This is time to wake up! We have come
Liberation Launch! We support it.
Ndushabandi and Mutimbo
We, we are doctors
Let go us, we will support you
Regards all medicines, we shall be responsible.
Fortunately it’s true we are all around the world.
Liberation Launch! We support you.
Kabarebe James, I am not scared of cheap politics
I am scared of cheap ideas
We shall go as liberators
I will be in Rwanda at the same time in Congo
I will reinstate policy in Africa as a Rwandan. I will lead fighters of two countries at the same time
By all means we have gone to battle.
I will not be reminded that I am not wanted
The word that angered me and filled with courage
It drove me to meet Museveni in the bush
I would not cry, if my child should not be told the same
Liberation Launch! I support you.
Nzaramba Martin, do not we are together.
Hard times train
Growing in foreign land grooms you to be wise
Let us cross the border, we shall overcome by all means
We have lawyers, we shall apply science.
And since I have few words
I will apply British science
That is diplomacy
Sweet talk the enemy you meet
Not giving him/her chance to suspect you
To an extent of forgetting and let out all secrets
Get exhibits and capture him
The rest, Liberation Launch! I support you.
Kaka Sam, Liberation Launch I support it
Let us return with no turning back.
At least our children shall be named Mutabazi and Nyampinga
Katende and Namatovu shall be visited.
Liberation Launch, I support it.
Karenzi Karake and Nyamvumba, our science is anxiety
We do not want to continue being called rebels
We don’t want our struggle to be like Angola’s or Sudan’s
We want ours to succeed without any delay
Our plan is to see Africa at peace out of slavery
We shall be a role model to Sudan.
Kayitesi Doreen and Inyumba Aloysia asked Rose Kanyange
What do we say about the Liberation Launch?
All of them at once said that they support it.
Yeah, we are still young and beautiful
But we have never been naughty, no conducive place
Many of us are here and were dearly loved at our home country
We have not hated ourselves as well
Our brothers shall not go to the battlefield alone
We have shared all hardships
We shall cross the border together and support them.
We shall not compete physically
What is needed is mental power, which we have
Patience and personal determination.
This is a modern era, we use machine guns
Not like old days of arrows
We shall follow their steps, we shall not become boys.
Like Ndabaga we will only follow her braveness
Let us go to the battlefield, as girls!
Always we shall be near our brothers
And we shall be their immediate saviour
Liberation Launch we support it.
Let us go and liberate other children
They will study and become professionals
Their grades at schools will belong to them
Not as in Burundi where they had limited grades
Or in Rwanda during the days of dictators
They shall not be barred from joining University
Like in Kenya where the UN with their allies limited grades
Not even like in Uganda where you have to change the name.
But now a child will go to school
Despite the status of the child
Children shall be confident and shall not be scared.
Rose Kanyange you have a little baby
Let us go, you will look after the baby
The child will remain behind and I go
Because I want to raise him in Rwanda
I also want to face the French man
There is a way he thinks being black means not having natural feelings like him.
I want to be their lesson
I will wake them up
It will cause them to respect black people wherever they are.
Wake up and realise that black people are also human
They will change their attitude and feel ashamed
Liberation Launch I support you.
Now I have crossed and gone.
Gahonzire Mary, I am present
I will be spying from all corners
Nothing would come secretly to scare you
Nothing would disorganise you
I will apply my ex
pertise
Education, nurturing and natural
At work, I am an expert
I will not be a dormant listener
Instead, I shall open my eyes and ears to the whole word
Rwanda will be respected and valuable to other countries
A Rwandan female shall be a role model.
In her home country and foreign land
Liberation Launch! I support you.
In his seat, Kayitare Emmanuel said,
I have heard it all. Liberation Launch! We are together
This is the time to tell you the secret
I discovered myself when I was young
I even told my parents
I was among those prophesied upon in my mother’s womb
The day Rwanda will be in turmoil
There shall arise a warrior like Ruganzu
He will be a sacrifice to raise Rwanda from death to life
Its image shall surprise other countries
The foretellers confirmed that it was the time
I will be a sacrifice to liberate my people
On the day they will come across mad people dressed in rugs
Bathed in blood
The time will be closer
The Rwanda flowing into milk was protected by God
Now get up, it is time to go.
I have chosen to handle areas of Ruhengeri and Murera
I shall win and will have called a fierce Lion.
Liberation Launch I support you.
Nkusi Sam was there said
I will present to you the expertise I acquired from Europe.
Do not worry, I will establish radio Muhabura.
It will compete with those of our enemies
It will be confusion to them.
It will be sensitive to our people and they shall contribute surprisingly
These plans are unusual,
Let us just watch out
It shall not have a description; it will be called the Trinity
Liberation Launch I support it.
Rusagara Frank, I support the Liberation Launch.
I have been dreaming about Rwanda
Dreaming of fighting at the frontline.
And people were wondering and say
This young boy has championed the liberation
He moved his steps like Nyiringango
Armed with the shield.
I also dreamed of overcoming our enemies
The enemies wondering who these warriors are
We are growing up!
Let us Liberate Rwanda.
Nziza Jack said, you will not leave me
We shall go together
Being a Mufumbira means a Munyarwanda
Our policies do not shame us
The borders were set by foreigners
I should not fear
Or become a coward
Liberation Launch I support it.
Kayonga Charles, it is right we should go
