Baba Wethu (Our Father) by Umlazi Gospel Choir is a Zulu gospel song based on the Lord’s Prayer. The lyrics in Zulu are:
Baba Wethu Ose’zulwini
Maliphathwe ngobungcwel’igama lakho
Umbuso Wakho mawufike
Intando Yakho mayenzeke
Emhlabeni njengase’zulwini
Amen, Amen, Amen
Amen Hallelujah
This can be translated as:
- Our Father in Heaven
- Hallowed be your name
- Thy Kingdom come
- May Your will be done
- On earth as it is in Heaven
- Amen, Amen, Amen
- Amen Hallelujah
The full version of the Lord’s Prayer in Zulu continues:
Awusiphe namuhla isinkwa sethu semihla ngemihla.
Usithethelele amacala wethu
njengoba nathi sibathethelela abanecala kithi.
Ungasingenisi ekulingweni
kodwa usisindise kokubi.
Ngokuba umbuso ungowakho, namandla, nenkazimulo
Kuze kube phakade.
Amen.
