Baba Yetu - with words

[emersoi]

Aww man, every time I hear this I can't stop thinking about when I was 8, the hours I spent deciding on which leader to take on which map and difficulty, then the further hours playing the actual game, such a beautiful song too :3 ♥

[volleyballplaya111]

Absolutely beautiful, just replaying like crazy!

[umpapa123]

Christopher Tin is a really cool guy, I got to shake his hand and see his Grammy.

[RIPPINDIRT11]

i like the beat to this song, its very beautiful ;)

[davidib17]

CIVILIZATION MEMORIES!!!!!!!!

[Phikay1]

I am just surprised that even the East Africans are calling the language Swahili! There is a "Swahili Culture", but NO Swahili people. The language is KISWAHILI. Sheng is not what we should be promoting here. Just something to think about, that's all. Peace.

[CarlosCrisps]

i actually like the song, (i'm atheist) i just don't like what the words represent

[Lararevelute]

@CarlosCrisps its not like the words represent death, sex, or drugs..just a prayer it promotes PEACE. I get that ur athiest but jeez get over it.

[MrTurtleofAwsesome]

would be even cooler if the lyrics were right. I sang this for choir so... it's odd seeing them wrong

[Blondyjuj]

why is everyone arguing about grammar when this song is the Kiswahili version of the Lord's prayer? Doesn't it seem a little bit out of place? Attack my grammar if you want to. But it really isn't important is it?

@MrMeinkraft @singinReDhEaD33

[Pivotdiddyx]

@Blondyjuj BRAVO!!!!!!! Exactly what I was thinking from the start, just to screw with everyone..... im gonna start to talk like dis fo the rest of the time i comment on the vid. waddya think?

[OhReallyNoWai]

这个歌是最好的，但是上帝不存在。只笨蛋人认为上帝真存在。

[TheWhaleForever]

@OhReallyNoWai 你是笨蛋

[12agnar0k]

Theres no capital w in war because its not at the start of a sentence.

[MrMeinkraft]

@12agnar0k And there's an apostrophe in 'Theres'. 

[RyuHinotu]

Grammar War!

[Phoenix2961]

And forgive my grammer that message wasn't well done.

[Phoenix2961]

Pleas put the words into correct form. They are many that are connected and are actualy separate words. And you might want to see how to spell them right. My opinion so don't be mad over it.

[jellywillreturn]

My word, the visuals in Christopher Tin's music video were breathtaking. I always get the chills when the astronaut steps out of cryo to see the world from space.

[kateberebere]

love this we had our service in greenwich park last month and the song leaders sang this fabulous.  Thank you for posting Kaneleye66

[SunShinesToday]

I wish every prayer could be this epic.

[theallaroundgamer129]

kinda song i want to play at my wedding and funaral, awesome.

[gussiegander]

i sent this to my mom's cousin's wife, who is ugandan, and out of all the adjectives in the world, she chose 'funky' for this one. don't ask me. i'm not ugandan =)

[demence99]

translation please :D

[DJDav16]

@demence99 It's the Lord's Prayer sung in Swahili:-)

[KagomeFan44]

i got this song memorized cuz i love it! i try not to listen to it much. CUZ IT'LL GET ANNOYING IF I HEAR IT EVER MINUTE! so i wouldn't want to Spoil how good it is!

[Thormodr]

Great song! it's part of what makes cIV (Civilization 4) so awesome.

So moving! *sigh*

[Kamwana1208]

The Lord's praying sung so beautifully in Swahili Wow. Great song!!!

[eastsideblaz]

ive always liked this song but didnt know what any thing ment and still dont

[Kamwana1208]

@eastsideblaz ...They are singing the Lord's prayer

[gillijo]

Beautiful orchestration. Lovely singers. What a blessing!



[NatalieLSmith]

SUCH a pretty song.

[Frisbeetime]

1:39--Memories of the choir practice room filled with nothing but beautiful young voices in unison. Incredible, heartfelt song.

[DRIZZTT1]

Does anyone know what exactly they are singing?

[faro0485]

@DRIZZTT1 Lord's prayer. 

[Tuhtuhtoray]

we're singing this song for our opener for our chorus concert and it sounds awesome!!! :)

[Mozzinator38]

shithouse song

[andersfriend5]

Correct Lyrics = Baba yetu yetu uliye Mbiguni amina, Baba yetu yetu uliye imjina elitukuzwe, it's im-jina not w.e he was sayin b4 well, either imjina or mijina, I don't have my sheet music infront of me atm

[andersfriend5]

Correct Lyrics = Baba yetu yetu uliye Mbiguni amina, Baba yetu yetu uliye imjina elitukuzwe, it's im-jina not w.e he was sayin b4

[DeadEndNarkotik]

This is a prayer in Swahili

[journalistgirl07]

@DeadEndNarkotik I dont understand a word, but yet it moves me and shakes to the core!

[greendaycranberryfan]

What language is that song??? :)

[TheDihLyne]

@greendaycranberryfan Its OUR FATHER in SWAHILI

[Kamwana1208]

@greendaycranberryfan Swahili

[MasterOfFlash92]

If there is ever a vote for world anthem i am so gonna petition baba yetu!

\o/ its awesome \o/ <3

[cjdrkn]

so beautiful. this shows off the best of our great planet. Love it

[midnightgurl900]

nononononononnonono you got it all wrong it's too fast!!

[Emilianodigital]

The world is so wonderful!! 

[genericdefault]

Always heard it on Civilization, now I know what it's called.

[Chamininable]

Then why does it sound like he is saying "ku-jina"? There is even a syllable there.

[TheAsger3]

i LOVE this song:)

[supersniper3000]

@Rashaenka

Don't be a grammar Nazi

Nice video btw subtitles helped

[rashaenka]

CORRECTION: No such word as "lakani" it is "lakini".Also after "baba yetu,yetu uliye"correct grammar is "jina lako ee litukuzwe" .No such thing as "kujina" it is "jina" = name with ee standing for "thy"-i know coz i was raised speaking/studying swahili.

[singinReDhEaD33]

@rashaenka

For such a grammer Nazi your last sentence was murdered.

First lets point out the period thing. Its period, SPACE, next word.

Uppercase i

No such word as coz

And for someone raised speaking/studying Swahili, you of all people should capitalize the s of Swahili.

........Just saying.

[232mumboy]

@singinReDhEaD33 I think he can be excused for not being that good at typing English, seeing as it is most likely not his first language.

[TKSSBB]

@singinReDhEaD33 Grammar*

[dofuslover999]

@singinReDhEaD33 though he did say he was raised speaking Swahili... that doesn't mean his English is perfect :P

[XxWearsMexX]

@singinReDhEaD33 ............and you should write GRAMMAR. kthxbai.

[Lkomodo]

@rashaenka thats cool! Where did you grow up?

[TheoryGuy83]

@rashaenka Songs do not always use proper grammar. And that goes for *any* language, even English. Poetic license in music takes precedence over the language's grammar rules.

[I3enedikt]

Does anybody know the translation of Baba Yetu... ??

[RodrigoSidney]

@I3enedikt Just look on the right for the suggestions. The one labeled "(with subtitles)" has the entire music translated.

To make it faster: the music is the Father's Prayer.

[Cotif11]

@I3enedikt our father, check out my video with english translation in the vid responses "Baba Yetu With Lyrics."

[MeierTV]

LOL all this creation garbage is stupid to argue about, consider this: If god is all mighty and all powerful, can he create an object large and heavy enough that he cannot lift? Agreeing questions god's strength, Disagreeing questions creation, either way you're a heretic hahah!!!!

[SOmibsProductions]

@MeierTV ur a prick

[zarnicolasIII]

@MeierTV It seems you have never studied Philosophy. If you have had, then you should know why you can not ask that stupid question.

[kovo123]

This is a chorus song! Ha! the whole school looks at me strangely for singing my solo.... still ha! they dont no that much awesomeness!

[LJVolkov21]

5 people need to learn two more words in Swahili: HAKUNA MATATA! :D

[RockValent]

dose it matter what religion this song is pointing towards

its a good song ya shure im Cristian but i think a song like this could bring all religions together no matter what....

You can hate me for saying this but just think about it.....

[Deobesobi]

@RockValent totally agree

[sammyred8]

I'm always singing this at school. My friends think I'm weird.

[zegh8578]

im atheistic, and when they sing to praise god like this, i always remember what god represents in truth: everything living, everything inanimate, skies, mountains, oceans, the universe.

i believe in the universe.

i could praise the world :)

im totally singing along to these lyrics :D

[UnusualDeletion]

@zegh8578 Thats exactly how I see it, and I consider myself a christian.

[TheCoolshortguy]

@zegh8578 why are you an athiest the only reason why this song is so heart worming and forgiving is because it is a christian song and god's love is put into it so if you know that gods forgiving and unbeatable everlasting love is true you should accept him as your savior and into your heart and trust me the secod you do that you will feel the biggest rush of love and emotion that rush of happiness will be so great that you will cry and you willl never forget that feeling

[zegh8578]

@TheCoolshortguy im 30 years old. i am quite secure of my world view. i appreciate the good message of religion, but i cannot believe it. please leave it at that. im not gonna push my atheism on you either.

[Deobesobi]

@zegh8578 God does not represent himself as object of the earth he is the creater of them........

[zegh8578]

@Deobesobi that makes no sense. how can you not be represented through your own creation?

its what defines a creation.

[Deobesobi]

@zegh8578 cuz he can never be like his creation he is perfect but not all of his creations are perfect or good. idk understand it etheir but look it up or go to a church survice once in while.

[108607419]

love this song it realy gets the whole humanity thing going.

only fallback is the religion thing.

[ashleyhasOJD]

Singing this song with my school choir. Pretty sweet. Oh, and I love Jesus :)

[ashleyhasOJD]

Singing this song with my school choir. Pretty sweet.

[RandomStevie]

Good...but it's mjina...I know this because I have choir sheet music in my hand.

[humildaddecorazon]

@RandomStevie

can you send me the lyrics? please please!!!

[TibblesFTW]

Civilazation 4 had this song in it. Its my new favorite song Haha

[KairroBackBiter15]

i just learnd this today and i love it

[Seseous]

This should be the anthem of the Earth.

[12agnar0k]

@Seseous

Its the lords prayer, so ... it kind of is, for a large number of people, all be it in many different languages. As for the music, yes, christopher tin's mastepiece should indeed be played all around the world.

[12agnar0k]

@Seseous

Its the lords prayer, so ... it kind of is, for a large number of people, all be it in many different languages. As for the music, yes, christopher tin's mastepiece should indeed be played all around the world.

It's a shame something so beautiful when sang comes with terrible religious attachments.

[RXdash78]

@Seseous Only is the lyrics can be changed to somethnig that doens't exclude 60% of the population including virtually all of asia and the islamic world as well as huge swaths of northern europe and urban north america.

And then it wouldn't be the same song. Enjoy it for what it is.

[anamarvelo]

@Seseous i just had a dream last night where the world became one planet and they pick this song as the new nationl anthem on Earth

[PiauuPiauu]

: D making my ringtone. Thanks for the lyrics. can sing along now xD

love music like this : )

[INeeedSpoons]

epic. 1:37 - 2:00 

[Swimmingchao]

I've already listened to this 8 times....One more time can't hurt.

[virtuallynna]

man i love this song its epic!!!!!can't get it out of my mind o_o i want to learn how to sing this hahahaha .proposing it in our choir actually ^^ good video ^-^

[jack24showrocks]

[vasilzaaraliev]

The original mayan mysic, ENJOYYYYYY

[mateusz0512]

[skavhaug91]

[DarkChiyo]

[GoosemanZZ]

@thesomebody3: suaheli

[thesomebody3]

what language is this?

[mturrini]

@thesomebody3 It is Swahili.

[Jcnj100]

Moc pěkná písnička i video.... haleluja

[gamebuster800]

0:28 JPEG-FAIL

[Vanelence649]

correct me if I'm wrong but is the title of the prayer "Our Father"?

[Rosieee202]

i wish i'd speak that laguage, then i could understand what they're saying!

[humildaddecorazon]

What does Baba yetu mean?

[foxsipher]

@humildaddecorazon is look like a "father in heaven" praise

[DeFrankenstien]

@humildaddecorazon Its the Lords Prayer (famous christian prayer thingy) in Swahili (african language) and hell im jewish and not a fan of "chrisian music" but this is just amazing!

[hornerh2o]

@humildaddecorazon Our Father

[Danielgoingburst]

The Pics are Epic ... where did you found them ?

[joniav93]

One of the best songs I've ever heard

[Raiks]

This proves that one does not have to be religious to love a song that gives praise to "god". This song is, as a friend of mine says it, fantabulous!

[danceinthedark11]

It's the Lord's Prayer... of course it's religious. Beautiful. <3

[TheFear93]

Baba Yetu Yetu Uliye :D

[Geminazzo]

@TheFear93

Ku-jina lako elitukuzwe

[plasticnapoleon22]

@mditrolio11 me neither, but, if u think about it, its not really all that religious, so much as peace and forgiveness. "god" merely being a term for the omnipresent energy that surrounds us and binds us together. you may say god, you may say Allah, you may say Qi, or Tao, or even "the Force". But it means the same. The all-encompassing energy of our beautiful universe.

[virtuallynna]

@plasticnapoleon22 amen to that ^^

[0YTMan]

Ufalmo uako utike utakalo.

[quipucito]

i lo♥e this song so much i listen to it as i sleep!!!

[bhavvv]

Ok, so actually trying to read and sing alond to this is just epic difficult :p

[irock867]

we listened 2 this in church 2day and i couldn't get it out of my head!!!!!!!

[CODlova]

1:47 i used that picture for a picture contest LOL

[shippo1234567]

i sang this song in choir last year and loved it

[yoloador]

@shippo1234567 im singing it this year! im trying to memorize the solo and audition but i have to do it via youtube videos and i cant learn them this way, its too hard ):

[kulturrussin]

Reading all the comments here I am very excited about the amount of impact a theme song from a VIDEO GAME can have, outside the gaming community!

[arichards518]

@kulturrussin shut up. source does not matter

[Denyaux365]

lol this is a Catholic Hymn in Swahili... its one of my Favorites... it Basically singing the Our Father prayer in Swahili

[CODlova]

@Denyaux365 it is the our father prayer in swahili :P

[Deobesobi]

@Denyaux365 not just in catholic i dnt think they do this prayer....

[vladelord]

[WhiteHawk2048]

I absolutly love this song, we did it in my high school choir. It was always our favorite song after we did it! We rocked it out. Can remember all the words after years of not hearing it. Thanks for posting it.

[FailienFreshbean1976]

this is so wonderful :D

i love it. it may possibly be my new favorite song....

it just makes me feel like i'm standing at the top of a huge mountain i just climbed, all alone and victorious :)

[Aionstrueluv]

It is a very inspiring song Baba Yetu means the Lords Prayer in swahili (i think thats how you spell it).

[TheAsharedhett]

3:01 / 3:29

[churchsinger]

it's splendid!!!

[DaniCullen12]

Had this song stuck in my head all day today.

Baba yetu, yetu uliye...

My friends wer looking at me strangely. XD

[BringbackLKandMX]

@DaniCullen12 When I sent it to my friends one of them said " WHAT IS THAT?! " LOL

[Aionstrueluv]

I know what you mean my choir is singing it in a competion in April, but its already stuck in my head.

[kobyjon1]

I love the song! And i love God!

[MrSasdo]

me too =)

[PhoenixLtu]

0:14 - 0:24 Best part of this video.... It really make me forget about all the technologies we have... And think about africa - the cradle of humanity... Awsome..

[fcbarcelona55555]

This song is amazing and it brought tears to my eyes when i first heard it. It is truly beautiful.

[DazzaG00700]

Sends shivers down my spine. Only song ever to do it.

[Allie2theSea]

this song is sooo pretty...

i love it

[Sandsplash18]

Had the chance to sing this song with my High School Chior. It is by far my favorie, and still moves me everytime i listen. How amazing God's creations are!

[jnwk124]

I was in swaziland and sang this song with the natives :D

[SayaAensland]

1:57-2:01

I cried.

[Kemposaurus]

I love this song so much! I wish my academy choir would let us sing something like this...

[c1h9e9w3y]

We are doing this song in our marching show. (:

[xXCutieTigerCubXx]

1:15 looks like lion king

[victoire1834]

We are singing this song, in my High School chorus, I absolutely love it. Also, I really like having the lyrics and the melody with this version here, because my nephew is going to try out for the tenor solo, and he asked me to help him. so thank you

[GizzmoUA]

"ОТЧЕ НАШ"- по русски

[ballaof2010]

Is this African langauge?

[Aegianpaladin]

Yes. It is Swahilli

[Chi122334]

such a fun song, we sang it in our choir as well. ^^ I loved singing it with a choir. It's a blast!!!!
