Original (Swahili) lyrics English translation

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, milele na 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

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 msiba milele

Baba yetu, yetu, uliye (Yetu, amina)
M jina lako e litukuzwe (Baba yetu)

Baba yetu, yetu, uliye (Yetu, amina)
M jina lako e litukuzwe (Baba yetu)

Our, our Father who is
Let's glorify your name
