Abasokuru bacu baraturwaniye
Bajabuka inzuzi zitagira ibiraro
Our ancestors, they fought for us
Crossing rivers without bridges
- abasokuru -- ancestors
- bacu -- our
- baraturwaniye -- they fought for us
- (pronounced, of course, something like "baratugwaniye")
- bajabuka -- crossing
- inzuzi -- rivers
- zitagira -- without
- ibiraro -- bridges
- (Note that because the song is slow and enunciated, the typical rule against repeated vowels is ignored. Thus it really is "zitagira ibiraro" not "zitagiribiraro" as it would be in normal speech.)
