Baba Yetu
Christopher Tin (b. 1976)
Soundtrack - Classical World Fusion
Composed as the theme song for the video game Civilization IV and featured on Tin's album Calling All Dawns, Baba Yetu was the first piece of music composed for a video game to win a Grammy Award. Originally composed for full orchestra, choir and soloists, it was rearranged for SATB a capella choir by Tin in 2011. The text is a translation of the Lord's Prayer in Swahili.
Baba yetu, Yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina!
Baba yetu, Yteu uliye
Jina lako 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.
Our Father who art in heaven,
hallowed be Thy name.
Thy kingdom come.
Thy will be done
on earth as it is in heaven.
Give us this day
our daily bread,
and forgive us our trespasses,
as we forgive those who trespass against us,
and lead us not
into temptation,
but deliver us from evil. Amen.

As a Kenyan 🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪🇰🇪i can confirm you're speaking swahili very well...aaaah this is great
Thanks so much Olivia :)
this choir is the ultimate...their voices are soothing really
we need something like this in Bots
I remember doing this song for choir. It was mist definitely my favorite song Mrs. Turley had us sing.
The second video from our concert with the Whiffenpoofs of Yale has been released, and it's one of the most requested - Baba Yetu! Take a look and let us know what you think. Keep watching for more video releases...
nice
I cry everytim.
+Cape Town Youth Choir Where can i get the lyrics of your songs ?
David Nghikumwa Google Baba Yetu lyrics.
Baba yetu uliye mbinguni jina lako litukuzwe...............
Oh wow! the transposes are too amazing, so effortless. amazing. Much love from Botswana
This is lovely,
Outstanding piece and brilliant performance.
that's great
C+ 프로기준으로 한주만 더 연습했으면 좋은 영상을 남길 수 있었으리라 생각한다.. 미묘한 음정.. ㅠㅠ 그리고 메인 보컬에게는 마이크를 주자... 동영상 시청자들은 관객이 아니고 메인보컬이 중얼거리는것으로 보이기 쉽다..
Si amigo, yo tambien siento lo mismo!!
The best version of the song I have ever heard. Great job to the soloist. The best part is the bass line as I am a bass myself. The best part is when u song the doo's and when the chords change. Absolutely wonderful. Gives me goosebumps its so good.
Listen to ACCs version of it NOW.
Rly you meen THE WHITE version????????
You guys need to listen to this: th-cam.com/video/PCa8RxaOPW8/w-d-xo.html
stellenbosch university does it 10 times better xD
Me gusta mucho esta versión de Baba Yetu, porque la cantan como una plegaria, sin gritar. Tal vez el solista debería tener un micrófono, para que se le escuche mejor.
One of the best versions of this piece on TH-cam! And... I don't think I've ever heard it done completely a cappella (well, plus percussion guy). Usually it is with a symphony, or at least with a piano reduction. But here the choir actually sang all the instrumental parts as well. Really really well done, guys!
Bringing a soloist for this song is one of the hardest things ever, not only must you sing in different language but you have to be so heartfelt and emotional, it’s simple amazing how amazing every soloist I see who sings this song does amazing!!
Cape Town choir will keep on impressing you with their beautiful well combined voices
Civilization 4 for ever.
and steam for ever
I have the original CD, and my game doesn't need steam.
valve forever
+Brechum forever and ever
Lol... I have heard this song 100s of times on Civ IV but never knew what the words meant until today
I love the ufalme wako ufike part really moving
The percussion sounded hollow. It might need its own track, to be mixed in later. The fellow with the lead vocal needs some amplification. The performance in general looks about half-practiced: not bad, but it needs to be polished up more.
You can tell they're really trying to pronounce the words correctly. Warms my heart.
Umm... They are from the country maybe?
From the Ashes of Apartheid... Something BETTER... STRONGER... GOOD.... Rose forth to create one of the most dynamic, diverse and versatile countries on this entire planet!
Absolutely Amazing!!!

By FAR my favorite live performance of this. This is so much better than all of the other "big" productions that fail to capture the spirit of this song.
Are you serious?
sabotagethefool
occasionally. This time, yes!
You’re wrong. The Ting version from Wales is brilliant and much more moving.
The best performance! My favorite cover Baba Yetu! Greetings from Russia!
Spaciba,
I love this, but tbh it needs more life. It’s the Lord’s Prayer! I know that not everyone is Christian, (hell, I’m not either) but act and sing like you’re happy!
???
Andy Cap this song is very, technically correct, but very, focused on that, where I feel like there could of been a better mix of emotion and technicality and technique.
Great song though am I the only one here because of Civilizations IV?
Simon Petrasiunas ohh, that’s where I’ve heard the song before! Didn’t know it was the Our Father/Lord’s Prayer
A beautiful performance, but it's shame the soloist gets a bit drowned out by the rest of the choir.
Mark Jansen it's the recording engineer who's to blame here I think
Cape Town Youth Choir is the best Choir in the whole wide word!!!!
Though not my favorite version of this song, I can appreciate the work that it took to pull it off. Well done and good luck your future endeavors.
Ameni. Kutoka ardhi ya kiswahili ( Amen. From Swahili land)
I love how when the music starts to swell it looks as if many are fighting the urge to dance :) so beautiful :)
I would like to join this choir, I also can sing and lice in cape town
Hi Marchant, feel free to contact us at info@ctyc.co.za
I love u.. where do u live?? I would love to have u to sing in my wedding😭💕💕💕💕💕💕💕 i relly love you. God bless you
OMG 😳😳
That girl doing the telele is perfect.
There's a game called Civilization where you get your own little nation
Be immortal, rule as you see fit, just one click and you can decree shit
From Civ 1 to Civ Revolution, it's your job to find the solution
Need advice from somebody wiser? Just ask Elvis, he's your advisor
Everybody thinks you're nobody important
If this were Fight Club, you'd be Edward Norton.
A gimp, a geek, a shrimp... they call you weak they call you wimp (and so lame!)
Little do they know that you're a man of power
You can conquer peoples hour after hour
They'd fear you if they lived in the borders of your Civ!
So keep playing Civilization, take good care of your little nation
Start a war with ancient Egyptians, spread your equally valid religion
Win with science, culture, or napalm
Watch out, Gandhi might drop the A-bomb
You can show your neighbors you love them,
Or just beat the dog shit out of them
Oh-ho, KEY CHANGE MOFO!
When you're playing Civilization, history becomes your creation,
Learn to write before you can read and build the Taj Majal right in Cleveland!
Keep your wits and your sense of humor
Watch out for that prick Montezuma (He's a douchebag)
You can change the future a lot, see?
You can even make Jewish Nazis
If it's in your imagination, it can be your civilization
(Civilization is the shit I hope they don't drop the ball when they bring it to Facebook!)
wow ... to be honest i wasnt expecting it to be so accurate .... If i must be very harsh, i thought the male singing the solo male voice was a little underwhelming but all in all, GO CAPE TOWN!
A very good song , can I have s staff notation on it
Hi we are inviting this choir to Kenya, please come we shall support you in this wonderfull swahili song
This so much great !!!! BEAUTIFUL voice and perfect solo:)
Love S2
il suono del coro mi piace, il solista per questo pezzo non mi pare adatto
I like the sound of the choir , the soloist for this piece does not seem suitable
i am from america i dont understand the language but they can sing i like it woow!
vincent vinnie Language is Swahili. The song is Our Lord's Prayer in Swahili
Я из России, ничего непонятно, но красиво😊
it just got me thinking daht swahili is a language to know.
I heard they are teaching it in schools down in SA?
I just got off of a national choir and band tour in Europe about a month ago... I started looking up versions of baba yetu and this is almost identical to the one we did, you guys sounded so awesome... your harmonies were so well put together... it reminded me of my choir... If you guys do anything else like this I will be sure to watch it :)
Good job ..pende nyinyi sana from Kenya
Is this sheet music arrangement available for purchase?
South African Youth Choir's version was way better. But good attempt :)
what i like most about this performance is that it is sooo very proudly South African, I don't see anything american being imitated here
I gotta say, this made me shed a tear. You are AMAZING!
Thank you so much!
Auditions for 2016 are open!!

wunderbar
that tenor soloist whoooo
Amazing sounds, absolutely stunning!
I don't think even swahili speakers could do this song this much justice!!! 100!!!
Catherine Mbeseni you are funny. LOL Swahili speakers MADE this song exist.
I know my dear. Its so well sung. I'm a swahili speaker myself. 😊😊
nostalgia bomb
Prachtig mooi koor Gods zegen en groeten uit Arnhem Nederland priester Pullen.
Hey Leon, since most of your songs are in Africa languages ( Zulu and Tswana) try put more black people in the choir. I enjoyed your performance at Wikimania in Cape Town though!... And the correct spelling here in "Baba Wethu"
It would be great to have the diversity you speak of - how would you go about achieving it? To the best of what I know, the choir would love more participants and is mostly comprised of people who have shown interest.
I think it is spelled "Yetu" as that is the chosen spelling from the piece and composition on which it is based by Christopher Tin.
Nothing correct about your spelling, sir. It’s a Swahili song. It’s supposed to Baba Yetu, NOT Baba Wethu.
Very Nice ! BEAutiful This is so much great
This song is very inspirational and very well done! I can't find a Alto Saxophone Sheet Music yet :(
I love this so much! I just wish that they had the soloists sing into a mic.
This might sound weird, however, for me to think that there has been a group of white people living in Africa for generations is quite amazing.
It's not the beautiful story you have in your mind.
Well done, I can appreciate every version of such a wonderful and powerful song
Awesome Swahili vibes
Beautiful!! and heavenly!!!!!
LIndo a dinâmica. Singelo e encantador.
Very Nice! Greetings from Brazil!
Vocally fantastic. Posture and expressions need work though, as some look like they're being forced to sing at gunpoint :D. I've sung in a choir, I know it's difficult to look confident, but it adds a lot to the performance.
+Fr34k1ng0ut It's not difficult If you're having fun.
ever since my friend introduced me to this song can't get enough of it
Kiswahili ulimwenguni 🇹🇿, watanzania njooni tu-like wimbo huu
Glory to God
Very well done everyone! An absolute pleasure to listen to...it certainly warms the cockles here in soggy Scotland. Very proud of you all and to be South African - Renco's brother! :)
I like the person dressed in black.
IT IS civilisation
baba yetu
Seeing their faces during their singing is amazing.
Moving rendition. Male soloist wonderful.
my favourite gospel choir
I sang this song for my all state choir which had over a thousand people. Absolutely dumb founding!!! best experience of my life!
Beautiful
88,000 views. I remember watching this when it only had a couple thousand
I would love to sing in this choir😁
From Russia with love!!! You are super voice! Beutefull melody!!
Did angels come down from Heaven and take the form of these singers?? PHENOMENAL JOB!!! 😍😍😍
I was introduced to this only a couple of months ago when a friend's choir sang Baba Yetu in a flash mob performance. A brilliant performance by you all.
Swahili speaker here, articulation perfect! Postures need work though.
This so much wonderful !!!! BEAUTIFUL voice and perfect solo :)
Love S2^^
Stunningly beautiful - perhaps the best choral song I've ever heard. Thank you for the experience.
love this song. Nicely made. Is there some possibility to get sheet notes of this cover? Thank you!
Wow that was beautiful!
Amo esta música! Ficou muito bonito!
You have to love this song!!!!
Bravo au choeur qui est vraiment super et bravo au chef de choeur dynamique et surtout qui dirige avec le sourire ! BRAVO à tous !

Thumbs up for Civilization 4 PC game.
Beautiful Rendition!!
That was OOOOOOOOOOOSSSSOOOOOOM!! Congrats.
do you have the sheet music for this? it is so amazing! I wish our choir can also do this piece its very beautiful.
Beautiful. Thank you!
most definitely but i think i mic would have drowned out the beauty of the other voices .... but non the less still a magnificent version they did.
Oh that's freaky, one of the singers literally looks exactly like a friend of mine
Its greath performance ..
The pronouncation of the words are very clear..
