Mwalimu LAKHPIN: 2017

Loving you by Lakhpin to be released soon

Lakhpin is a renowned country musician in Rwanda who has proven poetic influences in all his writings since 2006. He has recorded a couple of songs back in 2011 and 2012 though he doesn’t consider them as part of his professional music career because they were all rap songs sung for only fun. Since then, he has been active in other different activities including teaching and theatre directing.

This October 2017, a new single “loving you” is being released. It is a perfect track for Lakhpin’s unique sound with an uplifting country beat and catchy tune. The song is at its final stage and I think it will be such an inspiring song to my fans and music lovers. I spent many years readying myself, getting together all the tools I need to get going as well as setting up my favorite genre through which I’ll be telling my personal experiences and point of views as an artist; says Lakhpin.

He is calling upon music lovers and supporters to stay an active and engaged audience because he will never let them drawn.

Ibirorirori - Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Havugwe ibirorirori

Mvuga abivuga bahinde

Ubumwe umurimo ukunda gihugu

Ubuhanga bube intego,

Usugire usagambe iwawe.

Imyato ah’ejo

Imahanga batijajara

Tubatambuke bose

Indogore, abagaga baze

Ndore ba ruvonyezabwehe

Akarimbiro aho kabagera

Umwuga ukiza utuvangire

Dukagukire guhumuriza

I buhoro tuhahore iteka

Intangamuganzanyo ngombwa.

Turindukire mu bikorwa

Wenda uze urute benshi

Sinshaka abate i Rwanda

Nshaka abagaga badahonya

Bakabura uwo basubiza inyuma.

Ubute butera ubutindi

Ubute butesha ubutunzi

Utururutse i butebwa

Gusakuza bitere urore

Ubugome utazi bugwire.

Bimwe byifuzwa bibure

Intebe ivunike ituramira

Tubyiteje kudakora

Abana bose ngo karabaye

Na yo imihanda ibaha ubugenzi.

Ubusambo ntiwareba

Inkoni ni bwo zibabonye

Nyamukuka izo z’imbuzi

Bamwe bakabandagara

Ibineza byo bikarumba

Amahoro dufite ubu anyemeza

Ba mawe bagengere

Ba dawe bakukuze

Ubukene burohwe na gakora

Dukure mu kuri kw’iwacu

Ni nde uzindutse iwawe

Muhane inka mwubahane

Umuco wimakare iwanyu

Nyiramahoro tumushimye

Dususurukiwe na rwanda

Twumve ntidukore inabi

Tuzongwe urukundo rumwe

Umurava ube uturanga

Impotore tuzisingire

Ngo ejo ubute butatwokama.

Mwereze imisago ukuri

Twimar inambu biriho

Nsanga ngusomere wisobe

Urasanga warasikaye

Umbaze iyo mvana nkubarire

Amateka matoya mfite

Agombe abwirwe abatoya

Bataragira ako batera

Bakataze batunganirwe

Umutekano ubature.

Bari bashiki banjye mwe

Mwisamara mwiyica

Ubwo bufaranga bw’ubuzima

Icyerekezo ni ubukungu

Si ubukonde nta bukene

Ni bwa bute ngica umfashemo

Maze ubwo mubona mbaciye

Izo nyana za kadegembya

Ngo aho nzasomera nzihire

Urukungahaza ntangutse.

Amahame bwana ategwe imbere

Aha si ahacu hate hose

Usembure uwo musa utuje

Ushire amanga ute agahama

Abate ubanza bakabyumva

Duce ubuzana bukebanya

Ba kuri bakeremukike

Ubuzana bube ubw’i ruguru

Iyo epfo bibone i mashuri

Maze abahanga bagwire.

Mu byo turirikira byose

Nihabemo umuco uturange

N’imvugo yonyine ibe ingiro

N’amacakubiri acyomwe

Ukuri kuganze tunezwe

Si ugucika uruhondogo

Si ugucunaguza karande

Ni inkokora nabatizaga

N’urubyiruko mu iterambere

Ntiruhejwe mu ntego.

Nyumvira Shenge - Mwalimu LAKHPIN

Nyumvira nkumve muhorakeye

Narakubonye mbona urakeye

N’ibiryo by’ubwo sinabiriye

Mbona akamama kadasukuye

Nyumvira mwari mbone ngukoye

Ingabo zanjye maboko yanjye

Ziruse igaju ngo ribe iryanjye

Ubufaranga ubwo bw’ubushakwa

Sinabuhombye twabushaka

Rugero rwiza mpa inseko ikeye

Nyumvira shenge mere nk’abandi

Mbone akabanga karuta akandi

Ako njye nshaka ntabona ahandi

Maze n’icyasha kiruta ibindi

Ni rwo rukundo ntasaba abandi

Ngusabye akanya karuta akandi

Nkubaze akantu gatega abandi

Mvunira sambwe nkurushe abandi

Nkugabe ituze ntari mutindi

Ngo n’ifaranga rijya mu rindi

N’iyo naba ndya ibi by’abatindi

Nagusiga nkarya uruhayi

Nkabura amazi nguha divayi

Ngabira ituze nkubone waje

Kuko ababeshya baratuganje

Komeza wumve nyumvira shenge

Narabibonye sinakubwira

Ngusabye kuza utaguze inshinge

Nkaguha amazi nanakubwira

Nyumvira shenge mbone agahenge

Ngize ngo izuba riranarenze

Kuko ribonye mvuze irihenze

Singuhenda ni ibi nsinze

Abaryi bose ntibakurenze

Urariboye njye mbona undenze

Ngeze aha ngaha ntabihishuye

Dore iri jambo njye ndarikuye

Nguca amarenga ngo umenye ryose

Kuko ndashaka ko umba iruhande

Mpora nkureba nta gikingo

Tetero ry’i tare mu batezi

Ry’uwagutoye w’uruti rwiza

Agata urwano rw’urutaturwa,

Tikiro bwite uruta abatunzi

Ukanatera umuteto iteka

Nsigaye numvira nka karisimbi

Ngo mpore ndota ndora iryo simbi

Maze nkubwiye mbona aka kanya

Ngo umenye cyane ko ntakurwanya

Ko nagukunze bifashe umwanya

Iyo nkureba ubwo mpita ntwarwa

Nakureba nkabura indebo

Iminwe yanjye yo ikagutinya

Ingohe zose ubwo zigapfuka

Ariko sinzi ko ari njye ukunda

Mbona uyu munsi mbivuze none

Ubite iwawe umenye ko mpiye

Ubyumve n’ejo nkubone ikaze

Unkize icyago cy’urukukumbe

Mpore udasanga narasereye

Ibi nkubwiye mbiteze umunsi

Utari kuza unsubiza none

Gusa unashake ako gahe keza

Ibi nkubwiye ungabe iryo nkwiye,

Nyumvira shenge nkurore ubwanjye

Ni ibi akabanga mporana ngenda

Iwanjye hanjye ni muri njyewe

Haze ungenge ungenze neza

Nitwe muhire mbe nkwihariye

Utone ntatijwe nguhawe!
