Paroles et traduction Mani Martin - Rubanda

Rubanda

Kera nkiri muto sogokuru yarambwiraga,
Mwana wanjye ntukishinge rubanda ntiboroshye.
Baseka bababaye rubanda, bararuma bagahuha rubanda,
Bazi kwigira beza rubanda, batwika inzu bagahisha umwotsi rubanda,
Bavuga ayabandi rubanda, ayabo bakaryumaho rubanda,
Banywera murwihisho rubanda,
Bagaseka uwicaye aho zinywerwa rubanda, aboo nibo rubanda.
Ohoohooo ooo!!! rubanda!!!!!!
Rubandaaa eeeh!! rubandaaaa yeeh!
Ntiwamenya ibyabo nyabusa ujye ubihorera rubanda

Rubanda

On the left, a dead man's spirit spoke to me,
My daughter, don't defame the colors, don't be arrogant.
They laugh at those who wear colors, they groan and moan about colors,
Some pretend to like colors, they build houses and hide the smoke from colors,
They talk about the colors of others, while in secret they love their own colors,
They drink alcohol from colors,
And laugh at those who sit where it's served, those are the real colors.
Ohoohooo ooo!!! colors!!!!!!
Colorsaa eeeh!! colorsaaa yeeh!
You can't know what they're really like unless you stay with colors
