Swahili Lyrics:
Baba yetu, Yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina!
Baba yetu Yetu uliye
M jina lako e litukuzwe.
Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele!
Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. Amina.

You have to appreciate the effort this must have taken. Two people sung a song made for a choir and its in a language neither are native to.

[@DirekteAktion1]

the pronunciation is even top notch - though they are both in a choir known for interpreting African hymns if I recall correctly

Hello good day, just want to clarify with the pronunciation of "tu" in "yetu".. most videos in youtube pronounced it or sound like a "tshu or choo", is it accurate? or is it pronounced as a hard T like "tour"? It bothers me everytime I hear it. My choral group is planning to sing another arrangement and we tend to master it with accuracy from accent down to pronunciation. Thanks

Baba Yetu! Undoubtedly one of the most beautiful cones ever composed. A melody that fills us with the best feelings. Music to be appreciated, heard and felt! This version is one of the most beautiful I've ever heard. The pitch of the voices is beautiful! The arrangement is wonderful! The tone of the voices is pleasing to the ears and it moves like our interior. If all the voices were arranged and sung only by these two singers, they are to be congratulated! A wonderful work, but before being only a work is a gift to the noblest human senses. Thank you for having recorded such a beautiful song so that the song's message reaches the goal for which it was intended. A song, a good feeling, a lenitive, a prayer. Congratulations !!! Beautiful!!! /////////////////// Baba Yetu! Sem duvidas uma das mais belas canções já compostas. Uma melodia que nos enche dos melhores sentimentos. Música para ser apreciada, ouvida e sentida! Essa versão é uma das mais bonitas que já ouvi. A afinação das vozes é linda! O arranjo é maravilhoso! O timbre das vozes é agradável aos ouvidos e mexe como nosso interior. Se todas as vozes foram arranjadas e cantadas somente por esses dois cantores, eles estão de parabéns! Um trabalho maravilhoso mas, antes de ser somente um trabalho é uma dádiva aos mais nobres sentidos humanos. Obrigado por terem gravado tão lindamente essa música fazendo com que a mensagem da mesma atinja o objetivo para o qual foi proposto. Uma música, uma boa sensação, um lenitivo, uma oração. Parabéns !!! Lindo!!!

I got a story for you all: Back when I was in high school, during junior year as I recall, the school band was holding its annual concert in a few months. The music had no real theme, but one was Baba Yetu. As usual, they needed the official go ahead to make sure that they didn't suffer from copyright infringement. (It happened while I was in middle school, so I don't know the details.) So they called up Christopher Tin directly (don't know how) and he said that we could only do the song if HE conducted the song. The school agreed and we got to see him LIVE! I only watch the concert, but my friend, who was in the band at the time says that he's an awesome and nice guy.

I mean if this was the world anthem it would kinda imply we are all a heavily religious race.

[@ITSecurityNerd]

Tree Turtle at one point we were all religious in one form or another... Atheism is a recent development. Speaking more to Christianity as a religion. Christianity was the first successful religion to (initially and in ideal practice) declare all nations and people equal and of equal worth. It is the believer's inability to get past his own culture that has marred it into a 'Western' religion, when it reality it was never meant to be so. While it does not treat all faiths and all actions with equality, Christianity declares that one God made all and all are equal before that God (Israel was a 'chosen' nation, but this was not unique as most religions were also regional/cultural in nature.) They did not state that your nation/city-state neighbors, whom you are probably trying to kill and conquer, are just as 'human' and 'worthy' as yourself.

[@treeturtle991]

I don't deny we used to be but many aren't anymore so the claim that it gives the wrong impression is still valid.

[@nathanodonovan6708]

Atheism's actually older than you think. There were atheistic philosophers back in ancient Greece over two thousand years ago, for instance. Religiosity's been more dominant and it was usually rather dangerous or at least ill-advised to be openly atheist for much of human history but it's not as new as you'd think. Just more accepted.

Our church used this song as part of our World Communion Sunday worship this year. We set it to a video of prayer and meditation around the world. More than one person came to me and said the singing moved them to tears and the images didn't help anything either. So, thank you!

[@jamesperson]

I use the song when I'm revisiting Civ IV and playing a warmongering nuke-wielding Ghandi

[@mutedajar9687]

I've noticed that Peter Hollens sings very forcefully and dramatically, while malukah always seems to look like she having a calm conversation with someone.

[@ryanmellard2360]

This is how men and women naturally complement each other.

[@jaybea365]

Exactly, Peter sings like he is vocally offsetting and opponent, while she sings like she wants a baby to sleep

[@m.w.r.1408]

I mean it is a song without a music video, they have to exaggerate and make it entertaining to watch when it is already entertaining to sing

[@BaxaTV]

Blocked in Germany by the GEMA. At least this time I could watch it before they blocked it! Sad that even if Christopher Tin allowed and shared this cover, the GEMA doesn't allow us to watch it. :(

[@sebb01243]

ProxTube ;D damit gehts

[@BaxaTV]

That's not the point. The point is that a cover allowed by it's author shouldn't be blocked by the GEMA.

[@faxezu]

BaxaTV Leider blockt nicht die GEMA sondern KZbin, um Zahlungen an die GEMA aus dem Weg zu gehen. Die verlangen 10 cent pro Klick für die Rechte, was vollkommen unverschämt ist, wenn es ein Video vom Rechteinhaber selber ist... außerdem klappt es in anderen Ländern ja auch mit anderen Modellen. Deutsche Bürokratie, füllen Sie diese Formulare aus um den Antrag auf Stellung eines Antrages zu erhalten.

[@Maliko21]

BaxaTV The Problem is, that it's an Automatical Function in the KZbin-Content ID System. The Video was blocked from KZbin not from the GEMA.

[@Lawlyewmad]

Ironic since the 2 singers are both German

Christopher Tin is the first person to win a Grammy for composing a song for a video game.

[@adencoby4745]

I used to sing this song in my old choir and had no idea it was from civilization until I saw it on America’s got talent. I love this song so much, it gives me tears every time I hear it

i literally cried because it was that good, im going to play Civ4 again

Two of my favorite human begins on the planet performing the music of a third. Such love for you malufenix , ***** and Christopher Tin. Beautifully done! -Austin

Austin, you always know JUST how to say the nicest things. You are amazing too man, don't forget, ha

[@SaloMVDC]

I'm part of a Gospel Choir from the south of Spain and we sing Baba Yetu! Performing this song live... It's amazing

[@PrinceHanniel]

As someone who speaks Swahili I have to say this is Brilliant Brilliant Brilliant. The pronounciation, the diction is on tops. If you were to listen to this without seeing the singers you'd think its sang by native Swahili speakers. This was amazing and I love love love it. The music in itself is also done Brilliantly. I loved it. By the way that is the Lord's prayer in Swahili. Thanks Hollen family. Bwana awabariki (May the Lord bless you)

[@gesslar]

I can't even. This is perhaps one of my most favourite video game songs of all time. Baba Yetu is epic and thank you so so so much, ***** for covering this, it was very well done!! Now, I'm going to watch it again. Lyrics: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Baba_Yetu #CivIV #BabaYetu

[@brianrush8961]

I love this song. I actually like CivV a lot better than CivIV as a game, but this song rocks.

I sometimes play this on my phone on the way home and leave it on repeat.

Coming from a swahili nation and hearing this version for the first time..really powerful..and feeling proud watching white people talk swahili

[@spookyquinn]

The choir I currently perform with are doing an arrangement of this song, and use this version to help learn our parts

[@jacekneumann6491]

I consciously admit that this is the most beautiful song on Earth. It gives you so much positive energy and will to live that it's almost unbelievable that it was created by humans. That is how I imagine power of Holy Spirit.

Absolutely incredible voices. I am a 19 year old full time college student athlete suffering from chronic cardiovascular issues, I am unsure of when I may be on life support. Your music has brought me joy in some of the darkest times. I never know when the pain will stop, but I have your music to listen to! This music is the best you've ever made

[@DinaCUSA]

If you like this song did you check out the Christopher Tim performance

[@wednesdayschild3627]

I had a heart attack. I listen to this and my heart rate goes down. Thinking of you.

[@akmroberts]

Gosh I’m so sorry to hear this, I can feel the emotion behind your words. My parents both died of cardiovascular disease and I can sense my system getting worse with time.. But there is an eternity with God that can await us, this short little life is but a fleeting moment! God desires no one to perish but all to come to a saving knowledge of him 😌. I think you’ll resonate but if you wish to chat further feel free. God bless!

Weebo is a reference to those obsessed with Japanese culture, this is sung in Swahili. Your term doesn't match up.

By far the best non English version of the Lord's Prayer I have ever heard. Swahili is such a rich language.

[@lucywanjiru7174]

I love my swahili language now more than ever. THANKYOU.

[@deviantchristian9778]

Here are the lyrics of the song in both English and Swahili. In case you're interested. Swahili English Baba yetu, yetu uliye Our Father, who art Mbinguni yetu, yetu amina! in Heaven. Amen! Baba yetu yetu uliye Our Father, M jina lako e litukuzwe. Hallowed be thy name. Utupe leo chakula chetu Give us this day our daily bread, Tunachohitaji, utusamehe Forgive us of Makosa yetu, hey! our trespasses, Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe As we forgive others Waliotukosea usitutie Who trespass against us Katika majaribu, lakini Lead us not into temptation, but Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele! deliver us from the evil one forever. Ufalme wako ufike utakalo Thy kingdom come, thy will be done Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. On Earth as it is in Heaven. (Amina) (Amen)
