Fascinating. I never bothered to try and find out what the words of this song mean in English. Baba Yetu is the first and, so far, only song from any computer game that I have downloaded to my library, and I still prefer Civ IV over the other versions in part because I get to hear the song when the game launches.
I wonder, did the developers know the English translation when they adopted Baba Yetu as the game’s theme music?
I am sure they did.
