[Verse 1]
In Quartier 17 we stand as siblings, hearts in one stride
Abecha Mwitale, Jobe Mulenda, Shaka Ibrahim by our side
Mugaboshaka Aleze and the crew, we carry a fearless flame
From Bwagiriza to new horizons, we write our stories by name
[Pre-Chorus]
Hold tight to our circle, never drift apart
Twin power in Rukara Emable and Gakiza Emable, pulsing in our hearts
Together we march, a steady drum in the chest
A covenant of kinship, we rise, we never rest
[Chorus]
We are the 17, with dreams that light the night
Gatungo, Faini, Gisubizo, reaching for the heights
Biamungu Manuel, Pasifique, Mutama in the line
Mulenda Janvier, Abecha Faraja, Quartier 17 forever shine
[Verse 2]
From Bwagiriza we move, with courage in every step we take
Abecha Mwitale whispers courage, Jobe Mulenda seals our fate
Shaka Ibrahim guides the map, with Mugaboshaka Aleze near
Together we carry memories, and forge futures crystal clear
[Pre-Chorus]
Stay close, stay strong, we amplify our voice
Rukara Emable and Gakiza Emable, twins with choice
Stride after stride we conquer distance and doubt
In unity we stand tall, in unity we shout
[Chorus]
We are the 17, with dreams that light the night
Gatungo, Faini, Gisubizo, reaching for the heights
Biamungu Manuel, Pasifique, Mutama in the line
Mulenda Janvier, Abecha Faraja, Quartier 17 forever shine
[Bridge]
From Bwagiriza to the world, our steps write the map
Stories of courage, love, and kinship overlap
We move as one, not alone, the future in our hands
Quartier 17’s chorus echoes across the lands
[Chorus]
We are the 17, with dreams that light the night
Gatungo, Faini, Gisubizo, reaching for the heights
Biamungu Manuel, Pasifique, Mutama in the line
Mulenda Janvier, Abecha Faraja, Quartier 17 forever shine
[Outro]
The journey goes on, from Bwagiriza to the world we roam
Together we cultivate our path, our roots forever home
