Gorillas roam in forests’ lush,
Their gentle gaze, a heartfelt hush,
From Akagera’s plains to Nyungwe’s embrace,
Nature’s wonders, a captivating chase.
Culture dances, colors go ablaze,
Intricate patterns, woven with grace,
From cow herders to city streets,
Traditions thrive, harmonious beats.
Rwanda’s past, a tale of sorrow,
Yet hope and healing, a brighter tomorrow,
From darkness rises a phoenix’s flight,
A nation’s resilience, shining so bright.
Come on! Celebrate Rwanda’s grace,
A land of warmth, a vibrant embrace,
She wears her crown of hills with pride,
She is a beacon destined for a glorious ride.
