Baba Yetu - Civilization IV Theme - Peter Hollens & Malukah (The Lord's Prayer in Swahili) 

Civilization IV Theme "Baba Yetu" done by 150 voices and some percussion. I finally was able to work with the phenomenal *****

Please please Peter, never take this song down. This is absolutely fabulous version of Baba Yetu that brings so much joy to people around the world.

-how introvert are you? =We made an entire choir just the two of us.

Wow my Swahili language 🇹🇿.... Baba yetu uliye-mbinguni

The only video game song to ever win a grammy. and in all honesty, it deserves it.

While I know this song is a prayer and I'm an Atheist I still ADORE this song. It makes me smile every time I hear it.

Listening to this in 2023, love this. May god bless y'all 🙏🏼 Love from Germany ❤

You have to appreciate the effort this must have taken. Two people sung a song made for a choir and its in a language neither are native to.

Don't you just love it when you click on a song, don't know what to expect. And suddenly you have been sitting trough the whole song with a smile plastered on your face. Amazing piece guys! Thank you for making my day so much brighter and continue to rock on! :D

I'm a Cali girl who has grown up in Tanzania. This is the sound of my home. Thank you so much for sharing your version of this song. It was absolutely incredible

This really goes to prove that you do not have to understand a word of a song to enjoy it deeply. Music speaks to your soul.

This song is the lord's prayer done in swahili . I love Hollens version. Proud to be from a Swahili speaking nation.

When I first heard this in my native language (swahili) I couldnt believe it! Beautiful piece of music and definately deserved the grammy win

Doesn't matter how many times I hear this song, either this rendition, Alex Boye's one, or the original, still brings a smile to my face and a tingle down my back. Beautiful song no matter one's beliefs.

Peter's Swahili is better than for most of us Kenyans..mad love 🇰🇪🇰🇪 the Lord's prayer has never sounded so perfect😍😍

Watching her smile made me unconsciously smile :)

I'm from Kenya so I speak swahili, im a huge fan. This makes me so happy.

My two year old stands totally still and listen. Suddenly she turns around and say wow, wow, beautiful. 🥰 And then she dances. I think that's a big yes to this song

Absolutely incredible voices. I am a 19 year old full time college student athlete suffering from chronic cardiovascular issues, I am unsure of when I may be on life support. Your music has brought me joy in some of the darkest times. I never know when the pain will stop, but I have your music to listen to! This music is the best you've ever made

You really put effort into the accent I give you props - a Swahili speaker

Such a beautiful song; how how horrible it is to watch it all crumble along with your civilization because of that... abomination... that heartless... cruel... monster... Montezuma...

I know this video is 7 years old, but this is absolutely fantastic. The visceral sound of percussion with voices alone is moving. And seeing that this is the Lord's prayer in Swahili makes it more fantastic. Thank you for putting this up!

Malukah consistently amazes me with her ability to sing in other languages. A native Spanish speaker who can sing in Spanish, English, Swahili, and even DOVAH from Skyrim.

I have the biggest Civ fan smile on my face right now. On a side note, Malu totally just turned Swahili into the sexiest language ever.

This was so beautiful that I drooled a bit while listening to this

Today I learned I am no joke doing this for my choir. After over 4 years, I knew I had to come back. Thank you for being a prophet, Peter Hollens.

When you guys started singing i almost burst in tears I have no idea why

It's stuck in my head because of Civilization IV, and every time I play Civilization V I think about how great is this song and Civilization IV

3,925,648 views? Why is it only showing my views?

I remember singing this song with a choir. I loved it. I always felt so happy and calmed singing it. I am very happy you covered it.

"Our Father. Who art in Heaven. Hallowed be Thy Name. Thy Kingdom come. Thy will be done. On earth, as it is in heaven."~Baba Yetu (Swahili)

im pretty sure 2 million of the views are me watching this fucking over and over

Malukha always look like the kind of person you'd like to invite over for tea and a nice mellow conversation. And then maybe persuade her into singing.

My entire school choir sang this last year for my senior year. It has such and impact when the entire stage is full of people, singers lining the aisles and all of us singing. Its something that you don't get other than live, even though this is a close second.

And all this time when playing Civilization IV I have been listening to our Father being praised and I had no idea! Praise God and his son our Lord Jesus Christ!

As a Swahili speaker I msut say I am impressed. Your accents are on point. We need to make this our daily prayer. Baraka Tele (blessings) from Kenya.

Almost two years later and I still can't stop listening to this song. This is amazing. Thank you so much for this.

Je suis française et j’ai chanté cette musique avec la chorale de mon collège il y a plusieurs année et c’était super beau comme moment ! Quelle musique 🌟

The Lords prayer . From Kenya . To Mexico and the USA . All the world says Our Father Amen .

i literally cried because it was that good, im going to play Civ4 again

I hereby nominate this song to be the Planetary Anthem of Earth.

No way you did this song!!! I'm doing this for choir!!! I got all the solos

OUR FATHER, JUST MAKES YOU WANT TO SMILE...... LUV IT!!!!!

I can't believe that this is the Lord's Prayer in swahili. It's so angelical and peaceful...

Love this one babe!

Our church used this song as part of our World Communion Sunday worship this year. We set it to a video of prayer and meditation around the world. More than one person came to me and said the singing moved them to tears and the images didn't help anything either. So, thank you!

Having listened to at least 50 versions of this song, still the best version.

I consciously admit that this is the most beautiful song on Earth. It gives you so much positive energy and will to live that it's almost unbelievable that it was created by humans. That is how I imagine power of Holy Spirit.

this song is the our father in kiswahili!!! i feel so honoured! and the pronunciation is spot on!!!!! Well done guys!

Wow God is great I wish i study in east africa to learn Kswahili but no problem one day in heaven we will sing in all language

Peter Hollens could be singing "Mary Had a Little Lamb" and still look intense. 😆 I love his facial expressions.

Ok..... THIS IS MY FAVORITE COVER!!!!!!

So beautiful, gave me goosebumbs! Keep up the amazing work :) Greetings from Germany!

Großartig absolut perfekt. So etwas zu zweit aufzustellen Unglaublich !! Ich danke euch! Und Gott segne euch !!!!!

Asante Sana ..kazi zuri love from Kenya

This is a fantastic rendition of this song. I personally spent 2 years in Kenya and Tanzanian and speak this language (Swahili) fluently. Not only is this very musically pleasing, but it legitimately sounds Africanized. Also your pronunciation is stellar. well done!

Well, I've never heard the anthem of Earth before. It ain't bad.

Many years ago, I played Civilization IV on my old PC. Hearing this song made me remember these golden days.

I am amazed by how beautiful this language is.

I first started to learn this song for choir class, and one day, my teacher being the awesome woman that she is, found this video and showed it to the class. A few weeks later, after finding it, I watched this video almost ritualistically each morning until the concerf, and our choir didn't even come close to how amazing your production here is

This is the best rendition of the Lord's Prayer in swahili i have ever listened to all my life. Good work folks.

Takes me back to when my choir sang this in high school 😭❤️

I watch and listen to it many times, you are incredibly beautiful, this song increases my energy and so do you🌟

RU-vid Subtitles: 100% accurate...

this is undoubtedly a beautiful song and very well preformed. but another way to appreciate it is to watch RU-vid try and decipher swahili

I discovered this version of Baba Yetu about 2 weeks ago, and since then I've been listening to it on repeat every day!!! I absolutely love it, you guys are amazing. Malukah's smile when she sings is just so heartwarming and calms me down :) Thank you

Swadakta Peter. Wimbo ni mtamu mno. Jina lake Baba yetu litukuzwe milele amina.

If earth ever meets extraterrestrial civilizations and they hold a sort of intergalactic Olympics, this is the song we ought to play when we represent EARTH.

Ehh, I came back to Civilization V. Another "one more turn" day. I can't stop playing. ;x

3 years later I am compelled to listen to this every time I run across it. What a wonderful rendition of a spiritually edifying piece.

Holy I remember singing this song in primary school around 8 years ago. Time moves fast. Just remembered the name of the song and found this video. I completely forgot about this. This brings back memories

i love this version... your Swahili sounds natural and fluent (Swahili is my first language so i would know) good job!

fun fakt this song got a gramy award

Its been 6 years and this is still amazing. It really has stood the test of the time.

the Lod payer in my native language. Nzuri sana. Asante sana Peter Hollens

Seriously? My 2 favourite youtube artists doing a collaboration? Thank you! Please do more...

Baba yetu, Yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina! Baba yetu Yetu uliye M jina lako e litukuzwe 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! Baba yetu, Yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina! Baba yetu Yetu uliye M jina lako e litukuzwe Baba yetu, Yetu uliye Mbinguni yetu, Yetu amina! Baba yetu Yetu uliye M jina lako e litukuzwe Ufalme wako ufike utakalo Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni, Amina

I first learned this song 40 years ago when I worked in Tanzania. This is a very refreshing rendition. I just discovered your music and it brings joy to my heart. Endelea vizuri!

This is AMAZING! I sang this in high school... So many memories!

I got a story for you all: Back when I was in high school, during junior year as I recall, the school band was holding its annual concert in a few months. The music had no real theme, but one was Baba Yetu. As usual, they needed the official go ahead to make sure that they didn't suffer from copyright infringement. (It happened while I was in middle school, so I don't know the details.) So they called up Christopher Tin directly (don't know how) and he said that we could only do the song if HE conducted the song. The school agreed and we got to see him LIVE! I only watch the concert, but my friend, who was in the band at the time says that he's an awesome and nice guy.

The sad part is....i have now watchend over 100 versions of Baba Yetu - no joke - performed by choirs all around the world. And this is the goddamn only version that - doesnt sound like crap - has no problem with the audio recording - doesnt feature audience applauding or screaming midst performance - only features "typical" instruments like no piano, no e guitar etc. - features 2 genders singing I tried to find a version with a choir but it seems you 2 did the best version that exists on this planet. And this was the version i started with...could have told me that i wont find any better.

Almost 7 million views, this version deserves much more!

Three and a half years later, and this beautiful song still sends my heart soaring through time. The way you both sing, so smooth and fluid, even in a strange language, gets the feeling across perfectly. You two truly are talents for the age.

Peter and Malukah... FINALLY MY POWER IS COMPLETE AND I CAN WILL THINGS INTO EXISTENCE! Now where's my 10000 billion dollars.

The song is beautiful, the voices are beautiful, the editing is beautiful. Masterpiece.

This is one of those songs that you just know we're going to sing in heaven one day.

I used to sing this song in my old choir and had no idea it was from civilization until I saw it on America’s got talent. I love this song so much, it gives me tears every time I hear it

Two of my favorite human begins on the planet performing the music of a third. Such love for you malufenix , ***** and Christopher Tin. Beautifully done! -Austin

Your voices mesh so well together. Would love to see another collaboration with you and Malukah.

That's so impressive! Your voices work awesomely well together

I shared this with my Swahili friends in Kenya--they were amazed at their language being sung in such a beautiful way! Absolutely beautiful!!

By far the best non English version of the Lord's Prayer I have ever heard. Swahili is such a rich language.

This makes me want to see you try one of the songs from the Broadway version of Lion King!

This never gets old. Still blows my mind how you 2 sound like a full blown choir. Thank you.

This song has just reduced me to tears. If there will ever be the need of a hymn for an united earth - this will be my proposal. The fact of this being our LORDs prayer does make my argument more valid.

Malukah and Peter Hollens. My two favorite singers singing together!!! :D that was amazing!! hey Peter you should check out a guy named Miracle of Sound. He has some amazing songs and he even did a song with Malukah. You should check him out and see about doing a song together. ^_^

Probably my favorite yet! :)

Social distancing just means I get to spend all day with Peter Hollens and Malukah :D

Wow! Fantastic! Huge fan of original gem - I bought a game and got an epic song too!- and to see this is just awesome!
