[MrKalShii]

who's ever heard of war?

[EstRumata]

Игра на все времена ! Я просто боюсь вспомнить сколько времени потратил в Civ.3-5

[leisititine1]

Superbe chant!

[hellomynameisme13]

@leisititine1 shitty song

[Shinykangaroo]

So peacefull song

[MrWooaa]

@Gerai380 what?

[TheLordHighlander]

@MrWooaa He's just trolling you

[KillU99]

Listened to this live from my boyfriends choir, amazing... sends chills down your spine!

[Renatobrasilful]

5 people are not people

[CHUBBLE117]

The beauty of this song is unmatched, unfortunately what it represents disqualifies it from (global anthem) elegibility. We need a song that represents us as a whole race, a young race. One with much to learn and with so much to hope for.

[teacupkid123]

It is simply wonderful!

[MrKreiven]

there is in english... mwanasimba.online.fr/E_songs_b­aba_yetu.htm

[MrKreiven]

[canuckleful]

@skygayta That's a lot of thumbs.

[bluffkyle]

reminds me of home...

[mcjohnston2010]

It's "The Lord's Prayer" sung in Swahili, if anyone was curious

[Mudswipe]

Can someone get me the lyrics?

[Geordie89d]

I was like "Mmm crap video i was looking for some scenes of the game or something else... Well, at least there's not US all over the place like others vids... Uh, no, wait, what is that? Isn't it North America? lol..."

[ZERONEFF]

I love this song, Im going to put it into one my films!

[Yunkymon]

Just chill :)

[MoammarGadhafi]

Beautiful song.

[JobeStroud]

I love this song myself. It has just that epic tribal feeling

[Aurum115]

this should be a global  anthem

[killingtime34]

@Aurum115 I dont think so. It the lord's prayer, what about people who dont belive in the "lord"?

[Tomkens1985]

@killingtime34

And whats exactly wrong with that song for people who dont believe in the Lord ? Which part of song abuses you ?

[nashertheatheist]

(2) "The aggregate of our joy and suffering, thousands of confident religions, ideologies, and economic doctrines, every hunter and forager, every hero and coward, every creator and destroyer of civilization, every king and peasant, every young couple in love, every mother and father, hopeful child, inventor and explorer, every teacher of morals, every corrupt politician, every saint and sinner in the history of our species lived there – on a mote of dust suspended in a sunbeam."

-Carl Sagan

[nashertheatheist]

"Look again at that dot. That's here, that's home, that's us. On it everyone you love, everyone you know, everyone you ever heard of, every human being who ever was, lived out their lives."

[Garrad3]

1 Person accidently pressed Dislike.

[mindtwindompeople]

The 1 dislike must have been blind and deaf.

[mrclebert]

btw if you are looking for this song its by christopher tin on itunes.

[mrclebert]

best sid song but civ 3 is hands down his best game.

[LineManRT71]

1 dislike is 2 too many

[XVIIIProductions]

JUSTE SUBLIME! :')

[superleigha14]

we are playing this in band its soo much fun to play on the oboe!!

[golitupeador]

funny how you put a image of North America, where civilization is ending, and ingame, the image is where the civilization began, north africa, greece ... :P

[EaiteFojdcee]

I just saw this at Video Games Live performed by an orchestra and singers and choir.

It was incredible!

[metalcoma666]

video games live anyone?

[iluveplkw3]

I'm singing this in choir. It's truly AMAZING.

[supadude626]

@iluveplkw3 WIN

[bladesargent98]

awesome



[childishes2kisses]

this is the direct translation of the song

Our Father which art in heaven, our, us, Amen! Our Father, Hallowed be thy name Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us our trespasses! If we forgive others Who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil, and that, you are forever and ever! Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as in heaven. (Amina) cnt/u

[childishes2kisses]

Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us our trespasses! If we forgive others Who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil, and he, not the evil madman (?) Our Father, Hallowed be thy name.

[childishes2kisses]

this is the direct translation of the song

Our Father which art in heaven, our, us, Amen! Our Father, Hallowed be thy name Give us this day our daily bread Forgive us our trespasses! If we forgive others Who trespass against us Lead us not into temptation, but deliver us from Evil, and that, you are forever and ever! Thy kingdom come, thy will be done on earth as in heaven. (Amina)

[TheCobain1990]

hha. .how cool this song,!

[bionicle1151]

one of my favorite songs

[MrRodinhas84]

this song makes me remember assassins creed, doesnt it seem that their saying "ala ezio, ezio..."

[KasplazmTV]

@MrRodinhas84

What they are saying is:

"Allah Ezio, Ezio!"

They're trying to convert your protagonist to Islam. But can they succeed? I do not have the answer.

[MrRodinhas84]

@KasplazmTV Lol, Agree!

[reav2]

this song makes me want to conquer the world

[MrPrevo1984]

Like the game and the song :)

[dudeguy9544]

I love this game SO very much! I recently made only 2 people, and it was Me (Alexander the Great) and Julius Ceaser on the indland lake (like the metateranian) and I kicked his BUTT! The other side of the Greek/Roman war!!!! It took me only about 1,230 years.

[bertkerstens]

what is better civ 4 or 5 ?

[detlefthevista]

@bertkerstens both are great games, but i play Civ 4 more often

[orbitoverthesun]

never played the game but this song is awsome!!!!

[detlefthevista]

@orbitoverthesun the game is like the game ^^

[detlefthevista]

@orbitoverthesun the game is like his music ^^

[0903devildog]

steam took away my CIV 5 becuse i had a virus im out 60$



[Gokki77]

The Best Civilization song ever. It is as it was made just for Civ4 :)

[MrSilentMotive]

Well, time to watch the Lion King. . . .

[TheApocalypt]

@MrSilentMotive lol very true :P

[HoorayforOranges]

0 dislikes is right.

[BigBrotherMateyka]

@HoorayforOranges Amen, brother.

[Andinout]

@HoorayforOranges now thay is 1 :(

[LegoMovieMan44]

@HoorayforOranges Aw crap, now theres 2....

[LegoMovieMan44]

@HoorayforOranges i think they thought it was racist....

[skygayta]

@HoorayforOranges and 4 dislikes is wrong.

[renamorcen]

@HoorayforOranges Spoke too soon

[TheAkatsukirulz]

This song alone competes with Monster Hunter Songs, Lord of the Rings songs, Legend of Dragoon songs and a lot of others i can't remember. This is a VERY awesome song for an already epic game. Sid Meier has brought something to us that deserves a permanent position in the Gamer's Hall of Fame

[futseb]

It's a religious song in swahilli made in music by the composer. It celebrates Jesus.

[Gokki77]

@futseb Doesnt matter. It's still a lovely song

[DareSnipin]

170 people figured out life

[tioderojo]

so beautifull song ...great

[jlzhao]

This song is awesome :-)

[chrintov]

first ever grammy nomination and win for a musical piece created for a game ;)

[AcesHigh981]

If you guys don't know this song won grammy-award last night! I think that's amazing.

[xKiNGSNiPER2x]

OMG!!! THIS SONG IS SO POPULAR, I MEAN LOOK AT THE TOTAL VIEWS FOR ALL THESE VIDEOS WITH THIS SONG!!!! Hey, if you cant beat them, join them.

[Qwampa]

eeeeehh game was ok but musics amazing.. might go play it again now...

[kooljosh100]

fudging awesome!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!­!!



[ubitcumajkemi]

immediately when i started this game i went to youtube to find this song... after, limewire... this song makes me tingle

[DasneavKG]

i have a hard time opening up civ 5 to play because i wont get to hear this song :C

[ChivKnight]

Who would have known a Swahili "Our Father" would make such an awesome theme song to an awesome game about civilization? I used to sit at the menu for hours just listening to this beautiful and epic song. Especially at 1:37, that's where it's at its most epic part.

[shadow331099]

@ChivKnight Are you a musician, because i totally i agree i'd say at 1:20 because i like the viola pickups and counter melodies throughout the ensemble

[6400loser]

Yes :D !!!

[Valdric1000]

If any one can find me a place to download this, that person will forever get my thanks :D

[spintokid]

Just heard this was nominated for a grammy...

[IznoLTB]

one song of one game i can't never forget !! so beautiful !

[MrSteelBarracuda]

Thank you Christopher Tin, legitimizing game music one song at a time.

[AreWeFamousNow]

This song is nominated at the grammys! first game to ever have that!

[ThePenFactory]

If you haven't checked "Civilization with lyrics" yet, try it! You'll find different lyrics for this song :D Not that I dislike these though.

[JasperCorp]

is it strange in beter at learning lyrics i cant understand in the slightest than english

[Sigmareitz]

I started to play some days ago and this song is really amazing, irradiates good vibrations :)

As good as Civ4, pretty good job Sid Meiers!

[diogobrezende]

Listining to this song makes me feel like.... i dont, a God!

Civilization is THE BEST game of ever!

[blb150]

is this on civ V?

[JasperCorp]

@blb150 sadly no

[Arkceangel]

I just heard this song on television about something that had to do with natives... is this supposed to be some official song?

[Accountificationable]

@Arkceangel It's the lord's prayer...

[AEIProductions]

the band im in gets to play this at the end of the year and CHRITOPHER TIN is going to come to my school to work on the piece (there is no band sheet music for this, just orchestra and choir) and hes going to conduct the piece for us!

[Big12189]

Heil Hannakuh!

[jabal23]

Thank you for putting this up. I could listen to this song forever.

[canuckleful]

Notice how the singers sound white?

[Ortheos2006]

@canuckleful

He sounds african/ black.

[canuckleful]

@Ortheos2006 Well he does, but the female background sounds Californian, or Canadian or something. I wonder if the speak swahili in South Africa.

[KazumaBR]

This is basically a gospel song lol

[Canthary]

I used to take my whole time before loading a match in the menu just to hear this song, it's wonderfull.

[Aapelus]

@Canthary

You're not the only one doing that :D

[bogglord]

I listen to this song when i need to calm down :) makes me so much more relaxed

[KazumaBR]

@bogglord This is strange, I always get excited when I listen to this song. =D

[selsuru]

This music is the best part of Civ IV, well that and it didn't suck like Civ III (god damn Firaxis fucked that installment up).

[MrStageNerd]

This is a VIDEO GAME song?! Wow, I gotta buy this game!

[TheDoogleBoy]

@MrStageNerd All the most memorable, catchy and epic songs I've ever heard have come from games.

It's a good time to be a gamer.

[Farplane321]

@TheDoogleBoy It's been a great few weeks for gamers. Civ 5, FFXIV, and... that other thingy... (I don't like it to much so I've kind of forgotten.... BUT IT WAS IMPORTANT), all with catchy music! Take that music industry!

[GoatDaddyVersion2]

@Farplane321 ah yes -- Civ 5. man my brother hasn't left the house in a week. wish I had a strong enough computer so I could do the same :p

[Warhawkwv1]

I just heard this song on Video Games Live on PBS and I just had to find it here! OMFG!!!! This song is sooooooo fantastic and sooooo beautiful - my eyes tear up listening to this!!!!

[Nachulez]

Ojalá algún día entendamos que todos somos personas, que somos una sola raza, que desde el espacio no se ve frontera alguna... hasta ese día seguiremos peleando entre nosotros y creyendo que el vecino es tan solo una civilización que pisotear para imponer la nuestra.

[featherwinglove]

It is by Christopher Tim and is Swahili for the Lord's Prayer (Matthew 6:9-14)

[RaymondAK47]

awesome song, awesomer game.

[rolando632]

i got civ. for the xbox360 and kinda sad this song isnt played at the menu, but you can listen to a part of it when you find a freindly village or as i call em' HAPPY VILLAGES, but i used to have it for the pc and i would just listen to this song. this song ROCKS! my gamertag is rebels632 ADD ME FOR SOME CIVILAZATION yaaaa

[Arnalicio]

Great song, amazing and superbe game!!!Go Spaiiin!!!!!

[muffinmaster491]

[kale870]

When I first started up Civ 4, I heard this song and was like "Wow. This game must be awesome!", and it is!

[Ulquinnoitra]

This song is fantastic...When I first heard it, I simply stood there stunned...Simply PERFECT.

One of the best songs EVER.

[BillyBones82]

Sounds like something from Deep Forest.

[95LDB]

Awesome game with awesome music. 2K outdone themselves with this, it's simply just amazing.

[669525]

[ultranova12]

@eidius1989 I like the game but I wish they stream lined it like they did for the revolution on ps3 although if I had to pick between the two the PC would still hold up its just so much more custamizeable

[dudeguy9544]

@eidius1989 You suck and this music AND game rocks.

[bertkerstens]

@eidius1989 not true the game is very good

only a little bit difficult

[MrRodinhas84]

@bertkerstens i am currently playing it and its not that dificult!

[Nestashio]

We're singing this song in my choir, It's so awesome I love it.

[HelldroneProductions]

[blakkerr]

Damn, this song makes me want to play Civ 4 again.

Must resist D:

[zibalas103]
