Rwanda
National Anthem
Beautiful
Rwanda
Rwanda,
our beautiful and dear country
Adorned of hills, lakes
and volcanoes
Motherland, would be always
filled of happiness
Us all your children: Abanyarwanda
Let us sing your glare and
proclaim your high facts
You, maternal bosom of us
all
Would be admired forever,
prosperous and cover of
praises.
Invaluable
heritage, that God protects
to you
You filled us priceless
goods
Our common culture identifies
us
Our single language unifies
us
That our intelligence, our
conscience and our forces
Fill you with varied riches
For an unceasingly renewed
development.
Our
valorous ancestors
Gave themselves bodies and
souls
As far as making you a big
nation
You overcame the colonial-imperialistic
yoke
That has devastated Africa
entirely
And has your joy of your
sovereign independence
Acquired that constantly
we will defend.
Maintain
this cape, beloved Rwanda,
Standing, we commit for
you
So that peace reigns countrywide
That you are free of all
hindrance
That your determination
hires progress
That you have excellent
relations with all countries
And that finally your pride
is worth your esteem.
