The lyrics are as follows:

Baba yetu, yetu uliye

Mbinguni yetu, yetu amina!

Baba yetu yetu uliye

Jina lako e litukuzwe.
 

Utupe leo chakula chetu

Tunachohitaji, utusamehe

Makosa yetu, hey!

Kama nasi tunavyowasamehe

Waliotukosea usitutie

Katika majaribu, lakini

Utuokoe, na yule, muovu e milele!

Ufalme wako ufike utakalo

Lifanyike duniani kama mbinguni.

(Amina)

Our Father, who art

in Heaven. Amen!

Our Father,

Hallowed be thy name.

Give us this day our daily bread,

Forgive us of

our trespasses,

As we forgive others

Who trespass against us

Lead us not into temptation, but

deliver us from the evil one forever.

Thy kingdom come, thy will be done

On Earth as it is in Heaven.

(Amen)
