    I accidentally pressed the C key at the same time as the space bar (to unpause the video), which activated the closed captions and made RUclips try to find English words that match the Swahili lyrics. I strongly recommend it.

      ​ @Jason Leon Didn't expect to get a reply to a 5 year old comment. 😅 I don't know anything about whether or not they were sued for doing a cover of this song since I couldn't find any information on it online, but I'm assuming you have a reliable source for that information... You know, because you would lose all credibility in your claims if you throw accusations around like that without evidence of it being true 😛
      I'm not sure about the background drums they are singing to, but the vocals are theirs from the very first second until the end of the video, and the video is mostly entirely vocals... So no they didn't "steal" anything, I think the word you are looking for might be "made an exact copy" of the original song. Kind of like if a talented singer records a karaoke cover of a famous song and uploads it. Because then they would be in trouble too for copyright infringement. 🙂
      So there could be a question regarding if Malukah and Peter's version is TOO close to the original song, because THEN I can see how there might be some copyright issues there. Since a cover has to be a "cover", and not a "step for step remake". 😊 I haven't heard the original so I don't know how similar the two versions are.
      They did write that the song is a "cover" in their video title. 🙂 Which does mean that they made a version that closely resembles the original song, but with THEIR singing and instruments. So again, no it isn't stealing, it's a "cover" which is a legitimate concept in the music industry hehe 😅
      But even so, I have checked and can see that this song "Baba Yetu" is open for licensing so that artists (like Malukah and Peter) CAN get a license to use it to make a cover of it. 👈 So if a copyright claim was done against them, then they could just have gotten a license for this cover later on. Which makes it hard to believe when you claim they got "sued" over this song... So again, would love to know where this "sueing" information is coming from hehe.
      And regarding all your timestamps where you claim they "stole" parts... We ourselves can play the video and hear that your "expert analysis" on them "stealing" isn't entirely true. 😅 In all honestly though, your entire comment comes off sounding like "a jealous person who also tries to make a living off of singing", but failed hehe. So now you get offended seeing other singers on RUclips having success.

      @@JobeStroud Love how you say this when at the end the actual composer of the song gives a brief cameo. If he didn't have the right to allow them to use the song I doubt he'd have let 2k, the company that used it in the game who might be the only other ones with a licence, sue them without blacklisting them and I could see other composers following that example.
      Also no results for Malukah sued/suit so you're just lying.

    We can argue about the concepts of religion until our fingers bleed and our eyes twitch, but at the end of the day, this song is absolutely breathtaking even to a damned soul as mine. :-)
    And what an amazing performace by both singers! And I love how they put more focus on Hollens in 01:40, where Christopher Tin had the male singer in the background.
    And of course, everything after 02:42 simply melts the ice in my Scandinavian veins.

      ***** True but that was not what I was implying. More like it is nice to stop and smell the roses once and a while regardless of where you stand on the issue. Many people especially those who argue from passion instead of logic as you mentioned who don't agree with religion in any form can't see the forest through the trees while listening to this song. They get so caught up on the meaning behind it that they forget to just listen and appreciate the beauty of the song at face value.

    I know this is an old video, but I just can't stop watching it. This is a VERY difficult piece to do well. I've seen Mr. Tin himself conducting full orchestras and choirs and wasn't nearly as impressed as what these two amazing artists have done with just their voices and a bit of percussion. I may very well be convinced to say that I like this cover better the original that was released with the game, and that's saying a lot as that version won a grammy, if my memory serves me correctly.

      ***** Not really. The lyrics are invoking a supernatural, higher power; but the person doing the invoking is very human. The song is not about God, it is about mankind and the struggles we face. That is why people pray in the first place, because they feel helpless. You don't have to believe in God to sympathize with the singer.

      ***** Singing a prayer is not "About God" or at least his particular prayer is not. It is a man, asking for food and protection for his family. Beseeching a higher power, which may or may not exist, because he has nowhere else to turn.

      ***** Yeah, but there are also many people are zealously religious and not desperate. If you believe in God, you shouldn't just pray when your in trouble, your supposed to pray about everything: Thanking God and praising Him, and yes, asking for His aid, but not just that. Also, the Lord's Prayer, which should really be called the Disciples Prayer, is how Jesus told the disciples how to pray, and its not all about begging for God's aid. And finally, if you believe in God, He's not supernatural at all, He's as real as the air we breath. Okay, I'm done rambling now.

Honestly I would also love to see the two of you cover the Calling All Dawns album, as (possibly aside from Mado Kara Mieru, which requires three vocal ranges) the vocal timbre pairing you two have works perfectly with Christopher Tin's music. But I would settle for Sogno di Volare . . . and maybe a mashup cover of Calling All Dawns? Please?

    By far my favourite rendition of this song, of all time! (And I listen to versions of this whenever I feel down) Malukah's voice is just so ethereal and perfect and combined with Hollens' experience making his own music videos, it gives me shivers every time.

    [Chorus]
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    [Verse]
    Utupe leo chakula chetu
    Tunachohitaji utusamehe
    Makosa yetu, hey!
    Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe
    Waliotukosea usitutie
    Katika majaribu, lakini
    Utuokoe, na yule Mwovu, milele!
    [Chorus]
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    [Bridge]
    Ufalme wako ufike utakalo
    Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni. (Amina)
    [Chorus]
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    Baba yetu, yetu uliye
    Mbinguni yetu, yetu, amina!
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    [Verse]
    Utupe leo chakula chetu
    Tunachohitaji utusamehe

    Waliotukosea usitutie
    Katika majaribu, lakini
    Utuokoe, na yule Mwovu, milele!
    [Coda / Chorus']
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
    Baba yetu, yetu, uliye
    Jina lako litukuzwe
