Roho Yanjye
The Ben Lyrics

Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴Roho Yanjye
Mpa ikiganza duserukane
Wowe wahize bose
Nkubona mu marembo nkiyumanganya
Nkicinya icyara
Umugabo uganje mu rwe
Ntituzamere nk'abumva imvura ihinda
Bikarangira banyagiwe Ndifuza gutura
Muri uyu munyenga ndimo
Mbega urukundo rudafite ikiguzi
Ubu ubaye uwawe
Nanjye mbaye uwawe
Inyenyeri inyobora
Itazigera izima
Intambwe yawe uza unsanga
Iruta ibihumbi
Wowe roho yanjye

Izahora yirata
Roho yanjye

Roho Yanjye
My soul

Mpa ikiganza duserukane
Give me a pillow to rest my head

Wowe wahize bose
You know everything about me

Nkubona mu marembo nkiyumanganya
I see myself confused in luxury

Nkicinya icyara
I'm craving simple life

Umugabo uganje mu rwe
The man within me is struggling

Ntituzamere nk'abumva imvura ihinda
Let's not pretend we don't feel the heavy rain

Bikarangira banyagiwe
Those who betrayed will regret

Ndifuza gutura
I want to heal

Muri uyu munyenga ndimo
In this unpredictable life, I stand alone

Mbega urukundo rudafite ikiguzi
Maybe our love had a limit

Ubu ubaye uwawe
Now you belong to someone else

Nanjye mbaye uwawe
And I belong to someone else

Inyenyeri inyobora
Stars guiding

Itazigera izima
Will eventually fade away

Intambwe yawe uza unsanga
Your determination will lead you to success

Iruta ibihumbi
Even thousands of obstacles

Wowe roho yanjye
You, my soul

Izahora yirata
Will eventually heal

Roho yanjye
My soul
