  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.
