Ba Ba Yetu



Today I'm Going to introduce to you an unique song which is Baba Yetu.

This is an African Swahili song which is a theme of one of the world famous game Civilization. This song was composed by Christopher Tin and was sang by Ron Ragin.
There are very many unique things about this song which includes its lyrics.

Baba yetu, yetu uliye
Mbinguni yetu, yetu amina!
Baba yetu yetu uliye
M jina lako e 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. Amen!
Our Father,
Hallowed be thy name.
Give us this day our daily bread,
Forgive us of
our trespasses,
As we forgive others
Who trespass against us
Lead us not into temptation, but
deliver us from the evil one forever.
Thy kingdom come, thy will be done
On Earth as it is in Heaven.
(Amen)

As you can infer, this is a Christian prayer which is known as the Lord's prayer.
Pretty unusual for a game music to include Christianity, but also unique that it did.
And although this is a game music, it earned the 53rd Annual Grammy Awards. in December 5th 2010.

Also because the game is based on history of the world, its music video includes many historical moments that you guys may see. One example is from America's independence to Abraham Lincoln's speech. not only this but there is another special edition of Poland's history.



This will be also familiar to those who recognize how the Polish history began and how it continued on until today.
