Baba Yetu The Lion King II

[PoSole98]

I love that song -3

[MrWooaa]

any one else think of Civ 4?

[R34kicksarse]

@MrWooaa Me.

[natalow19]

this song is simply beautiful in English and in Swahili

[33geishagirl]

Guys seriously stop the hate you guys are ruining a perfectly good song!!! Just fucking grow up all of you, you are fighting and behaving like little bratty children!!! Unbelievable!!!

[NappyRootzz]

Longlivelink3

Actually they are singing Our father....this is Swahili and not a made up language They are saying " Baba Yetu WA mbiguni, jina lako litukuzwe"

[ShannieNiicholee]

My high school choir is singing this for our spring concert, and I must say I'm extremely excited. I love this song so much. :)

[Leahxosharp25]

@ShannieNiicholee mine too!

[manderluvsu]

@ShannieNiicholee mine also!! haha

[1megen1]

.i love this song

[371Foreman]

I was caught by my math teacher singing this during the prayers before class. I had a headstart. LOL

[XjubiXtenXtailsX]

it makes me feel happy that i know how to sing this o.o XD

[1mrstaylorlautner]

I love this song so much! My concert choir did it and it turned out amazing! -3

[rockinghamsterz0207]

is this really from the movie?!

[Cyborg3669]

@rockinghamsterz0207

No, the music is from the game "Civilisation IV". The song is called "Baba Yetu"

;)

[shimambo]

I'm from East Africa and I know this is Swahili...so somehow they made this language up and it managed to spread through the whole of East Africa, Central Africa and parts of Southern Africa between now and when the game came out?! It's amazing how that happened! *rolls eyes*

[Phikay1]

@shimambo Shukurani ndugu Shimambo. Yes, truly reading stuff like this shows you how thru' ignorance, some pple can create their own illusion and actually convince themselves that they "know" what they're talking about!! But when you do actually speak the KISWAHILI language, and infact anyone can google this info, what else is left to do but to simply shake one's head with amazement and simply LOL!! I like your comment on the subject. Peace.

[LongLiveLink3]

What the --? They're not singing the Our Father....

This is a made-up language: how could you POSSIBLY know what they're saying??

[stanenluc]

its beautiful this movie part 1&2&3 its beautiful

[KateKolate]

I'm atheist but this music is just... beautiful. And I love The Lion King!!

Greetings from Poland!! :D

[tctaylor42]

Looking at some of these comments of you guys arguing pisses me off. Shut the hell up and watch the video and enjoy the music. If you don't like it, don't say anything. Who cares if it's about God, or if it's in a different language than English. Music is a national language, shut up and listen to what it's telling you.

[LongLiveLink3]

@tctaylor42 lol it's a made-up language *troll face*

[tctaylor42]

@LongLiveLink3 lol It's in Swahili, idiot. *troll face*

[LongLiveLink3]

@tctaylor42 Uhhhh. no, brah.

This is the theme song for Civilization ... 4?? They made it up.

[tctaylor42]

@LongLiveLink3 If you look it up, you'll see... Brah. I'm sorry that you're sadly mistaken. Though not all of the singers are native swahili speakers, (Showing the different accents) the language is most definitely the Swahili language of Eastern Africa. I have no clue where you got the idea that the lyrics were a "made up" language.

[LongLiveLink3]

@LongLiveLink3 That's why I'm SAYING it: HOW could they know what they're saying if it's a made-up language?

[bboyskipe]

thumbs up if you yawned around 2:30



[MegaMinnie55]

we are doing our dance to this :) its gonna be amazing!

[LeighaPooh14]

this is the closer for my band's show(;

[smilz150159]

were singing it =D

[Pivotdiddyx]

I can say for certain that this is one of the few reason why i can say I am proud to be a HUMAN, not a particular race of human, but a human in total, seeing as most things humans get involved with get fucked to hell, this offers SOME hope for humanity being able to do something beautiful. bah, who knows, maybe I'm just misanthropic.

[SheRicoSuave]

Our school's forming a symphony and playing Calling All Dawns. Oh yeah.

[tawib05]

Whoa I luv lion king.. Dis remind me of Hawaii... When I was a little kid lol.. :)

[SugoiAnimes]

nice

[oVicariousEyes]

That many choirs are singing this? BGSU's Game and Anime Music Ensemble (which I'm in) is doing it this year, too! So much awesome.

[MichelinDUD]

Civilisation <3

[taratumble23]

I can so see this song in Brother Bear :) It's amazing how it's NOT Disney!

[aarsty101]

sand this in choir last year, THE MOST FUN i have ever had performing a song!!:):)

[tmack1337]

2:25

OM NOM NOM xD

[Jacos233]

@dreamer021695 GET OUT, MY CHOIR IS SINGING THIS TOO

[rchandanais]

@Jacos233 MINE TOO!!!

[dreamer021695]

....... My choir is singing this. Lolol

[crodrigo9501]

Just started college today, this song reminds me so much of my childhood, i miss it so much wish i could go back!

[xicyhailx]

damn now I have to see what tkssbb said...

[wolf25ph]

I knew Simba was Jeebus!!!

[000marioshi000]

It's a bit different from the version of Civilization IV...

[iainfriesen]

1:37 AAAAAAAHHHHH SOOOO GOOOOOODDDD!!!!!!!

[yoouranass]

nice song to pick a fight in the reaction bars

[htaehxela]

love this song

[lol25235]

i think that they r supposed 2 b yawning

[MrMose89]

@h3lblad3

thats not yawning but Roaring

[donmateo25]

Why doesn't everyone quit their bitching and enjoy some beautiful music.

[eaglesrock60]

jesus, does everything have to be a religious debate? come on now... its a good song just listen to it. Its the theme song to Civ 4 too. thats how i came to like it. Not because im Christian as well. Just listen to the dang song

[bananie95]

65 atheist looked up what the lyrics translated to

[CJandthesoup]

@bananie95 I am an atheist and just because the lyrics are Christian in nature doesn't mean that atheists like myself won't like it because of them. By that notion the Cistine Chapel and great dozens of the most important pieces of classical music would also be without merit (as well as many other things). I know you are just making a joke, but comments about the numbers of dislikes have been a tad overdone...

[TheWhiteOwl23]

@CJandthesoup i disagree, the fact of religion is not what dissapoints me, its the christianity in specific, as that religion has the looney bins who fuck me off on the street corners etc. so yeah fuck christianity! ergo fuck this song.

[CJandthesoup]

@TheWhiteOwl23 Clearly you hate the Christians who 'fuck you off', I agree with you in the sense that no one should force beliefs on someone else. However, just because Christianity inspires the lyrics for this song doesn't mean it's shit (see previous point). I'm pretty sure i won't convince you but anyways...

P.S. your grammar is appalling, i had to read your comment like 5 times to understand it, 'the fact of religion', 'the christianity'. Looney bins don't piss you off, the looneys do.

[fenghuanghun]

@TheWhiteOwl23 and would you hate this music if you didn't knew it's meaning? that is the real question a real non-believer should ask him/herself. Because if the answer is "you didn't hate the music before you learn it's meaning" that it mean something very deep.

[TheWhiteOwl23]

@fenghuanghun wtf, thats my point you idiot, dont call me a "non believer" im a realist, keep believing in santa or whatever, i was saying i dont like the LYRICS, the beat is pretty good though. lol

[BrokenHeartedAngel11]

cool idea with using this song with LK2 clips, but personally I think you should've done more, instead of running full clips. That makes no sense. I'll come back when I'm awake and explain. Oh gosh xD

[Edd1148]

@BrokenHeartedAngel11 Awake yet? xD

[BrokenHeartedAngel11]

@Edd1148 LOL oh god I'd totaly forgotten about this xD What I meant was they should've done more with the clips they had. Instead of just running the very beginning and very end of the movie they should've either told a bit of their own story or the LK2 story, it would've been more entertaining to watch.

[N0nameleft]

I am totally shocked by some of the comments under this video!!! It's simply a great song and someone had the idea to use it with the Lion King clips - and made it work pretty darn well. I don't think the point was to make a religious statement and so the whole dispute feels very out of place.

[Barnaby504]

@N0nameleft +1

let's not sit here and attack each other people...

[Cyborg3669]

@N0nameleft

Welcome to Youtube ... where cool and nicely inspirited Videos make religious and ethical discussions ;)

[Cheeso33]

They used this for Civilization 4's Theme Song!

[tmservo]

@Cheeso33 Civ4 was out before this. It was in Civ4 before this.

[DickiNoel]

awsome video ! I'm just scary :)

[HaloChaos]

I like the ending chord progression

[luvinsingin07]

@HaloChaos I really really like the bridge

[SecretiveSpyDude]

Awesome! Loved the part where they raised the cub right when the music reached its peak

[gillyssquashball]

You are all making Wotan very angry

[FATALERROR123456789]

not bad vid brings out the origins of the song. Nice work though!!

[NatalieLSmith]

this song gave me shivers ... :)

[harmonyordie]

nice timing dude~

[NEOexSOLDIER]

cheap editing, but the timing was still pretty nice

[johnnjengakarugia]

Wer so dumm und blöd ist sich über dieses Disney-Video aufzuregen, nur weil es von Disney ist, muss sich echt hinsetzen und reflektieren, warum man sich so ärgert über so ein schönes Lied auf Swahili. Also man darf sich über vieles im Leben aufregen aber über so ein tolles Video aufzuregen lässt mich ohne Worte!

[shortblonde5]

OMG I LOVE THIS SONG! Even though it is the Lords Prayer in Swahili it is still moving for everyone of all religious backgrounds. And just because this movie has the song with it, doesnt mean the video is religious. It means the sound is TOTALLY perfect with these clips. GREAT VIDEO!!!!!!!!!

[KENYAMASI]

Africa is Africa.....GOD BLESS MY AFRICA!

[MasterOfFlash92]

FUCK RELIGION!

IT DOES NOT MATTER THAT THE CONTENT IS RELIGIOUS ITS A FREAKING AWESOME SONG!

I am atheist but that does not change any thing its still and awe inspiring song that reaches out to the good in every ones heart not by lyrics but by rhythm and feelings! feel with your heart and ears not your brain morons!

<3 baba yetu <3 the world is still awesome :D

[TheBeardedDragon15]

@MasterOfFlash92 one day youll find out you re wrong and you will pay for it dearly

[MasterOfFlash92]

@TheBeardedDragon15 oh and now you will too :) if there is a hell i am sure well be neighbors!

[mygaffer]

@MasterOfFlash92 Amen brother.

[fatiminha66]

Simplesmente sou apaixonada por esta musica Vocal maraviso e com esta apresentação e que é parte dos uns filme que eu e minhas meninas mais adoro "Rei Leão "

[klemen1702]

what s the difference with this 1 and the civ 4 one?

[Arthus850]

@klemen1702 as far as I can tell, nothing

[SwiftingRabbit]

I don't care what anyone says, songs as beautiful as this are proof that God exists.

[lipalol]

@SwiftingRabbit haha loled

[templarknight3127]

Guys... leave the atheists alone... They can like whatever they want...

Do atheists not have the right , as human beings, to listen to beautiful music?

And who knows. This song may bring them to god.

[wolski888]

You got the translation wrong. Baba yetu means father our, so where does Jesus come in? Unless you actually know this language I think you should look at your sources.

[TheRockinryan]

zulu

[arminius1453]

Well, I agree that this song is beautiful by its own merits apart from meaning, but as a theist this song affects me in a deeper way. Both lyrics and melody bring an additional, unexplainable feeling as I hear it.

[Bucklover4]

i havent seen this movie in 5 years

[floobadoobee1]

dude i listened to it once then couldnt stop!(is thast good or bad?)

[abbittibbi1]

Christopher Tin originally composed Baba Yetu for Firaxis’ 2005 strategy game

For Civilization 4's Grammy winner.

Best game ever, come with the best video game music and too bad for EVIL Disney to be second.

[floobadoobee1]

nice music vid man XD

[JAXEVANS]

This is the opening music for Lion King 3

[Milkymalk]

@JAXEVANS This is the theme song for Civilization IV, before everything else.

[Meltedsnake4]

Best movie evar!

[shelverman]

This video is the best way to fantasize that Lion King II is good.

[TheFlygt]

@JackhammerJesus Can you give any more examples of animals praising your lord besides a youtube clip of a disney movie with swahili gospel?

[sebastienwes]

@TheFlygt

I laughed so hard. Thank you.

[JackhammerJesus]

@TheFlygt Sure. It says so in the Bible! Just read it.

[Blackobluna]

@TheFlygt I'm going to point out the blatantly obvious here. The animals weren't praising God, they were praising the cub. The fact that someone put the Swahili version of the Lord's prayer as the sound is very cool, but not exactly relevent.

[Cuishi10]

@TheFlygt It's funny how those who think they're so "jesus-like" are not at all. This song is the lord prayer in Swahili, and I'm sure Jesus loved animals...

[Poitey82]

@ OohMarkus: That is sooo true! I don't speak Swahili, but it sounds swell! What is this song about anyway? :)

[LuBuOWNZ]

@JackhammerJesus I am a proud and devout Christian. And your comment made me ashamed of my religious beliefs as I read it. Thanks asshole.

[MonkeytheratGames]

@Poitey82 its basically the lord's prayer, but with additions and edit and whatnot.

[OhhMarkus]

Everything should be sung in Swahili, it's more beautiful in Swahili.

[eggylucy]

poo

[Freabbie]

Now I know why Africa is the heart of Planet earth because this really touched mine

[DaxterD1]

Heh, the word "leo" in the lyrics, did anyone notice? Beautiful song, these clips suit it!

[bobfari]

1:10 that is so fucking stupid... Zazu is a dodo, dodos cant fucking fly!!!

[Crowspirit1]

@bobfari ....he's not a dodo >.>

[ericdscheller]

@bobfari No, dodo's can't fly. But red-billed hornbill's (the type of bird Zazu actually is) can. So obviously that isn't the thing (or person) that is "fucking stupid".

[boom1208]

@bobfari Dude, Zazu is a Hornbill, sorry to break it to ya :/

[wowkittycatclaws]

@bobfari He's a Toucan!

[grlmanson6]

i love this songg(: bonny eagle high school sang i for a chorus concert adn they were ahhhmaaazingg <3333 :D

[sonilos]

ok im white and i know i can sing like that... well ok im mexican and i can mimic it pretty well lol and also boom it shouldnt even appear in your mind that its a lords prayer or whatever music no matter what language or whatever can sound beautiful with the right sound and good singers of course lol

[TheSenorFuerte]

If white people could sing like that they totally would. I know I would.

[radeqster]

I didn't even realize this was from Lion King :) Listened to it a loooot because it's in Civilization IV :) Very nice music, though i have no idea what they are singing about. As a matter of fact i don't really care what they are saying.

[seyallica]

@radeqster Its not from Lion King, its an original song drom Civilizations. Along with Megadeath's Sudden Death, its the first song written for a game that has been nominated for a Grammy Award.

[GrrrIamMad]

@radeqster It's a edited version of The Lords Prayer. Oh and it's not from the Lion King.

[mwangkentdenver]

Why all this fuss about religion? It dont matter, people! Baba Yetu is a beatiful song. Why should it matter what your religion you are? huh? I mean, if you just hate this song no matter what, shouldnt you just listen to something else? sheesh!

[DaiDai1093]

was this actually in lion king?

[smilly456]

@DaiDai1093 like it says the lion king 2

[josded]

@smilly456 Just because the video is from lion king 2 doesn't mean the song is. THis song was the video game Civilization 4's theme song.

[dmileynon97]

@DaiDai1093 No its not.

[nyerguds]

@DaiDai1093 Nope. It was made in for Civilization 4, in 2005. That's about 7 years too late to be any Lion King movie. This is just a fan made music video.

[KHADNYC1]

@boom1208 agreed :)

[Rehema149]

IM SUCH A PROUD AFRICAN!!...

SUCH A PROUD KENYAN!!!....

IM SO PROUD!!...

[Oscararon]

@Rehema149 I'm a proud Swede, but damn Kenya is awesome!

[Trick5ter001]

@Rehema149 lol :P

[fikimiki44]

@Rehema149

oh stfu

[mark9241]

@Rehema149 Pride is a sin.... lol jk

[IMSully34]

@Rehema149

The two holiest men I ever met were two Catholic Priests I met here in America. One was from Kenya and the other from Malawi. It was clear to me that God's spirit is moving in Africa. They were brought here to attest to that, and they did.

[Blackobluna]

@IMSully34 You are by no means the judge of holiness. That is a task for the One and Only true God.

[AndrzejPD]

@Rehema149

Proud of what ? loool

[Lilith1777]

@Rehema149

Good for you. Seems like in the west, we only ever hear about the troubles of Africa. But there is so much awesomeness about that continent. There is a lot for you to be proud of.

[Clawshawt]

@Lilith1777 I second that! =D 

[TKSSBB]

@Rehema149 Faggot.

[ScorpioCarly]

@TKSSBB D:<

What's wrong with being proud of your nationality?

[rockthisworld56]

@TKSSBB Hey you rasict prick! People like you make the world what it is today. Go take your pathetic little waste of life and go get some therapy! You obviously need it seeing as how first of all calling him a "faggot" for being proud of his nationality! Two, for using a derogatory term for homosexual as an insult. I'm proud of my nationality and bet you are too. So don't go and spread your shit about other people because they're different than you! You disgust me. Get off the internet you ass

[stivan25]

@rockthisworld56 umad?

[rockthisworld56]

@stivan25 You an idiot?

[flgt12]

@rockthisworld56 well said

[julessmit223]

@TKSSBB i bet you are american? then i bet you are fat too? or at least family who is fat hahahahahaha chubby, i hope ppl call you chubby, you deserve that. and i guess you never been outa your redneck state of ohio or whatever, so FUCK YOU ANAL!!

[SuperNaray]

@julessmit223 Ha. Im American. Im not fat. Your English is horrible. And I just spammed your ass!

[Pivotdiddyx]

@julessmit223 I would have agreed with you, but I live in ohio, and i sure as hell aren't a redneck, so when you are insulting a racist, avoid sweeping generalizations, cuz that right there if just aggravating to me.

[willdthrill55]

@TKSSBB fuck you you fucking son of a bitch this song is beautiful you arrogant bastard

[OnlySuzyV]

RAAAAAAAAAWWWWWWWWRRRRRRRRRR!!­!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

[ninjapickles1313]

CIVILIZATION IV?

[OnlySuzyV]

@ninjapickles1313 yup

[ninjapickles1313]

@OnlySuzyV Ahahaa I knew it

[1231lovemaria]

conheci essa musica na escola aprendi e ñ parei de cantar

[allypally1990]

religon shouldn't be allowed be discussed over the internet, cause there is no way to slap the other person cause they wouldnt shut up.

[rsexplorer20]

@allypally1990 It is called the spam button :)

[revlynn01]

"God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." (1 John 4:16) If you can appreciate the beauty of this song and love what is represented, you may not be as atheist as you think you are. Love is not an accident of nature, it is a design. You don't have to believe to make it so.

[revlynn01]

"God is love, and all who live in love live in God, and God lives in them." (1 John 4:16) If you love music and love the beauty, you may not be as atheist as you think you are. Love and appreciation are not an accident of nature.

[Warp2567]

wait, what?? So I'm a christian now? haha what a way to jump conclusions. Just because I bashed atheists for flip-flopping doesn't mean I'm christian. You act as if Christians are the only people who pick on atheists. I am neither atheist nor christian. I am an agnostic theist though.

[keikoandgilly]

Regardless of your religious preference, you can not deny the harmony of human vocals and the music that flows from this. The sound of a world in unison.

[HelloHaaari]

This is amazing, the song fits perfectly with the lion kind. Such a beautiful song

[theGamersfixs]

Who gives a crap, this song is beautiful, We can all agree this shows the universe and everything it is amazing and a miracle, when i say miracle i dont only mean religiously, but a miracle of life. No stop arguing and lets hope we win the Grammys :D

[chrisi017]

proudly kenyan...nani kama sisi??!!

[AarinHikaKao]

I don't care for religion, but when religion isn't about hate and such, it can be a beautiful thing, hence this song. :]

[Warp2567]

I'm sorry but I think I do recall some people COMMENTING about how they disliked the song when they heard that it was about the Lord's Prayer. That's the most ironic thing ever, not my comment. My comment is not hateful. I say it like it is.

[Hamerindus]

I'm atheist and still think this music is beautiful, even after seeing the lyrics. It sounds beautiful, and every kind of culture is valid, it doesn't matter if you agree with it or not.

[jarena333]

The Trinity

[dreadlife]

exactly WHO is singing the chorus??? i know that its not christopher Tin..since he only composes it..so who IS SINGING IT EXACTLY?? he has a cool african voice :)

[berthegoat]

I love this song regardless of religion. I myself am an Atheist, and I freaking LOVE this song!! It's beautiful!

my school's voca
