about

This is a storytelling song, a journey of an orphan child.
We need strength and courage to live through life, and if you are still alive with everything you've been through, this song is for you. Keep the good fight.

lyrics

Ayiiiii Yeeeee Iyeeeee
Ayiiiii Yeeeee Iyooooo

Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe

Umwana utagira iwabo
Yambutse Mwogo na Nyabarongo
Nyabarongo umugezi utemba
Atembera Kigali yose
Iramusasira yanga kuryama
Iramuherekeza yanga gutaha
Ngo urashaka iki nkunzi ya Mwiza?
Iye Iye Iyeee

Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe

Kuba impfubyi biragatsindwa
Biragatsindwa byo gatabwa
Iyo bigusanze ukiri mutoya
Biragutokoza bikakubasha
Ibitekerezo bigasimba
Bigasimbira mu guhanga
Ayi Mana ntabara ndirimbe sinibe!
Iye Iye Iyeee

Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe

Uramponda sinoga uramponda, Sinoga
Uramponda sinoga uramponda
Hummm ayi mama sinkoma
Uramponda sinoga uramponda
Ehee yewe sindira
Uramponda sinoga uramponda
Yeee oya shenge simvuga
Uramponda sinoga uramponda
Ohoo yewe sinoga
Uramponda sinoga uramponda
Ayii mama siniha
Ehee yewe sinkoma
Uramponda sinoga urampondaaaa!

Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
Umugwegwe yewe umugwegwe
