When I hit Modern Era tonight, The People Are The Heroes Now was the first song from the era soundtrack to play. I had to crank up the volume. Awesome.

QFT. I just sat there and listened until it ended before I started playing again

jeffyen at CFC emailed Christopher Tin, Baba Yetu's composer, to ask for the lyrics and got the following reply:

Hi Jeffrey,

Thanks for your email. It's a pretty standard Swahili translation of
the Lord's prayer, except that there are some mistakes. For example,
the Swahili words for Jesus ('Yesu') and 'our' ('yetu') are very
similar....and the text SHOULD be reading:

Baba yetu, Yesu uliye
mbinguni Yesu, Yesu, amina.
Baba yetu, Yesu uliye
Jina lako litukuzwe.

The extra 'Yesu's', which mistakenly became 'Yetu's' in the final
version, were inserted to make it work rhythmically. There were a few
other syllables here and there that were altered, with a liberal dash
of artistic license, to make it work musically.

By the way....if you feel so inclined, I would love it if you would
email the people at 2K games and tell them what you thought about the
music, and what you thought about the song. I'm trying to get more
video game work, and every kind word helps.

Best,

Chris

Let's hope he gets more work, it's a really catchy song.
