lyrics

BIRANGWA
Kinyarwanda//English

Uri inzozi nkumbura iteka ntazabona 
//You’re a dream that means so much to me, but one that I can never hold for real

Ukaba ikibibi cyansaze umugongo aho ntishima
//And you're a birthmark on the whole of my back, where I cannot touch

Uri kure, kure nk'Ijuru ndebesha andi maso nkakubona
//You feel so far away, far like heaven, where only my heart can see

Uri inkuru nzabara iteka itarangira 
//You're my never-ending story, and a story that I will always tell


Chorus x 2
Biganza birangwamo ubupfura iyo ugarutse ukareba uko nakuze
//My guiding light, so caring and wise, if you could come and see the kind of woman I've become

Biganza birangwamo umutima Nzakuririmba 
//The heart of an angel, I will sing praises of you


Uri iriba ryamaze inyota ritazakama
//You're a river of life that satisfies my thirst, and will never dry up

Ukaba igicu kinkingira izuba kitazahita
//And you're a cloud in the sky that never leaves and always protects me from the harsh sun

Uri umurya, umurya w'inanga numvisha umutima ntabasha gucuranga
//You're a sad note, a chord of inanga, that only my heart can hear, but one that I can never play

Uri irungu nzarwara iteka ritazakira
You’re a constant longing in my heart, one that will never be cured


Chorus x 2
Biganza birangwamo ubupfura iyo ugarutse ukareba uko nakuze
//My guiding light, so caring and wise, if you could come and see the kind of woman I've become

Biganza birangwamo umutima Nzakuririmba 
//The heart of an angel, I will sing praises of you


Bridge:
Uwo amaso yanyimye 
// The one my eyes cannot see

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you

Uwo ibitekerezo byampaye 
//The one only my thoughts can reach

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you

Intore ntabariwe 
//Such a brave person I have known

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you

Nshuti yanjye ntagumanye 
//A treasure I couldn’t keep

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you

Nkuririmbire abana banjye
//I will praise your name for my children

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you

Iyeeeeee eh eh

Hummm

Nzakuririmba
//I will sing praises of you
