about

In April 1994, where were you - when people, young and old, were being butchered and drowning in their own blood?

lyrics

IGIHE (Where Were You?)

Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?
Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?

Mwari muri he abagore bafatwa ku ngufu
Induru zivuga hirya hirya no hino
Mwari muri he? Mwari muri he?

Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?
Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?

Baroha abana muri Nyabalongo
Abagabo batererana abagore babo
Abagore bata abana
Abana ababyeyi babo
Mwari muri he? Mwari muri he?

Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?
Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Imiryango igihe
Barimo bayitsembatsemba igihe?

Hari hasigaye imbwa gusa ari zo
Zirigata imirambo
Inkuru yanjye ntitandukanye na izindi
Ntinatandukanye na iriya yo I Darfur
Aho abantu bapfa buri kanya mureba
Uko bwije na uko bukeye barashira
Barashize kuki mutajyayo ni iki kibatangiriye?

Mwari murihe igihe
Barimo babatsembatsemba igihe
Mwari murihe igihe
Batemanaga igihe
Mwari murihe igihe
Barimo babatsembatsemba igihe!

Muri he? Muri he? Muri he? Muri he?
Mwari muri he?
