Umwari from UBUNTU by Empress Nyiringango

UMWARI LYRICS- ENGLISH TRANSLATION

Being born a girl Is a gift rather than being a burden Because it is the highest gift of love It is the queenship that flow with serenity It is the pride of parents Never ever should it be shameful/cause curiosity Because one’s beauty and good conduct Are the very features that decorate a girl You are a mother-to-be and worth of joyful ululations
Let me embrace you my dearest May you have herds of cattle and children May your dreams come true Beautiful young lady from home May you always have a fortune
Young lady, the one ever happy and prosperous Be aware of and prepared to overcome any hardships you may encounter See, this world has been filthy If you face all sorts of trial Immerse in serenity through patience and kindness The flawless upbringing you received Your strength, your willingness and wisdom Couple them with perseverance As for us, we can not even once hesitate That your achievement and bravery will spread all over the world And All poets will praise you Calling you “Most Precious, Impeccable, beautiful Young Lady”.

Let me embrace you my dearest May you have herds of cattle and children May your dreams come true Beautiful young lady from home May you always have a fortune
Most Precious, Impeccable, beautiful Young Lady (x6)
A young lady, worthy for family
A young lady, worthy for RWANDA
