Anthem of the Kingdom of Buganda - Ekitiibwa kya Buganda

Okuva edda n'edda eryo lyonna
Lino eggwanga Buganda
Nti lyamanyibwa nnyo eggwanga lyaffe
Okwetoloola ensi yonna
 
[Chorus:]
Twesiimye nnyo, twesiimye nnyo
Olwa Buganda yaffe
Ekitiibwa kya Buganda kyava dda
Naffe tukikuumenga
 
Abazira ennyo abatusooka
Baalwana nnyo mu ntalo
Ne balyagala nnyo eggwanga lyaffe
Naffe tulyagalenga
 
[Chorus]
 
Ffe abaana ba leero ka tulwane
Okukuza Buganda
Nga tujjukira nnyo bajjajja baffe
Baafirira ensi yaffe
 
[Chorus]
 
Nze naayimba ntya ne sitenda
Ssaabasajja Kabaka
Asaanira afuge Obuganda bwonna
Naffe nga tumwesiga
 
[Chorus]
 
Katonda omulungi ow'ekisa
Otubeere Mukama
Otubundugguleko emikisa gyo era
Bbaffe omukuumenga
 
[Chorus]

Buganda's Pride

Since time immemorial,
This country Buganda
Was known by all countries
The world over
 
[Chorus:]
We are blessed, we are blessed
For our Buganda
Buganda's pride dates back in time
Lets also uphold it forever
 
The brave who came before us
Fought a lot of wars
And loved this country a lot
So we should also love it

Let the current generation fight
To uphold Buganda
As we remember our ancestors
Who died for this country

How will I sing and not praise
The King
He deserves to rule the whole of Buganda
So let's trust him

Lord, God of kindness Help us Lord
And pour your blessings And keep our king
