lyrics

URUGAMBA (The Fight Goes On ...)

Yewe ntega amatwi wumve !
Kuko impanda yanjye ivuze!

Untunga urutoki ugirango undusha agaciro,
Ukandeba ufite isesemi nkaho ndi ibirutsi,
Ariko ntega amatwi wumve !
Kuko impanda yanjye ivuze!

Uruhu rwanjye ureba rusa nka isaro ryo mu nyanja!

Mmmm…

Iyo nitegereje Abo iki igihe,
Cyangwa nkatega amatwi abambere,
Abambanjirije barababaye,
Kandi na abo tungana bararakaye.

Ariko reka nkwibwirire twe abasigaye turacyakomeye
Ni iyo twatotezwa urugamba ruracyakomeza!

Mmmm…

Iye ye ye ye ye!!!
Iye ye ye ye ye!!!
Iye ye ye ye ye!!!

Ni iyo twatotezwa urugamba ruracyakomeza!
Ni iyo twatotezwa urugamba ruracyakomeza!
Ni iyo twatotezwa urugamba ruracyakomeza!

Mmmm

Iye ye ye ye
Iye ye ye ye
Iye ye ye ye
Iye ye ye ye
Iye ye ye ye…
Iyeeee!
