Akaruru k’intambara (song number 210 in the Guhimbaza Imana collection) is a well-known Kirundi gospel song that serves as a powerful spiritual anthem against evil, popular among worshippers in Burundi and Rwanda. The song's lyrics, which describe finding peace and spiritual nourishment in Christ, can be viewed on these platforms: Bibiliya Yera YouTube Facebook Facebook·Cantiques Kirundi
The lyrics to "Akaruru k'Intambara" (The War Cry) tell a story of spiritual resilience and divine protection. Originally a Kirundi/Kinyarwanda hymn often performed by artists like Aime Uwimana
Despite the bleakness, the song emphasizes resilience through the repeated invocation of “ubuntu” (humanity) and “ubumwe” (unity). The lyricist employs the Swahili proverb “Umoja ni nguvu” (unity is strength) to connect local experiences with broader African philosophical concepts. By doing so, the song situates Rwanda’s struggle within a pan‑African narrative of collective recovery.
When she finished, the silence that followed was not empty. It was full of names, full of ghosts finally allowed to rest.
Chorus — poetic translation [A natural-sounding English rendering of the chorus]
: The "cry of war" ( akaruru k'intambara ) refers to the ongoing struggle between good and evil. It depicts Satan calling his "troops" but emphasizes that a believer remains untouched within the "Holy place" ( Ahera cane ).
