The song is "Baba Yetu," by Christopher Tin; vocals performed by Stanford Talisman. This song is The Lord's Prayer sung in Swahili.

Lyrics taken from http://forums.civfanatics.com/showthread.php?t=123680 (I hope you don't mind if I use this MSTK, but you did such a good job I wanted to share it)

CHORUS
Baba yetu, yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.
(x2)

Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, milelea milele!

CHORUS

Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. (Amina)

CHORUS

Utupe leo chakula chetu
Tunachohitaji utusamehe
Makosa yetu, hey!
Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
Waliotukosea usitutie
Katika majaribu, lakini
Utuokoe, na yule, simama mwehu

Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.
(x2)

Rough English translation:

CHORUS
Our Father, Jesus, who art
in Heaven. Amen!
Our Father, Jesus
Hallowed be thy name.
(x2)

Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us of
our trespasses
As we forgive others
Who tresspass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from Evil, and you are forever and ever!

CHORUS

Your kingdom come, your will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven. (Amen)

CHORUS

Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us of
our trespasses
As we forgive others
Who tresspass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from Evil, and you wake the dead (?)

Our Father, Jesus who art...
Hallowed be thy name.
(x2)

  • Been looking for this song for sooo long. Glad to have finally found it!

  • the song is amazing so u cant dislike it !

  • whoever disliked the video can go and get hit by a bus and die 4 all i care

  • der song ist das einzige gute am spiel

  • In case you didn't hear, this song recently won a grammy for being awesome! This is doubly good since it vindicates me for pushing this song onto all of my friends computers and ipods over the past 4+ years.

  • I nostalgia'd like a boss. Can't wait till tomorrow for Civ 5. :D

  • @lightbetsoin the song has liberties taken for making it more musically aesthetically pleasing. Most likely it's not "verbatum" accurate, but the spirit is there as much as any translation from one language to another is
