The Lord's Prayer in Aramaic song

My younger brother showed me this song called Abwoon, Aramaic for Father. The song is a Aramaic musical rendition the famous Lord's Prayer.

What's interesting to note is that Jesus most likely spoke both Hebrew and Aramaic. Syrian-Aramaic was a common language in Israel during Jesus' time, so it's quite likely he spoke this language in addition to His native Hebrew. It’s conceivable the original Lord's Prayer was in Hebrew or Aramaic, just as this song has it:


One day Jesus was praying in a certain place. When he finished, one of his disciples said to him, "Lord, teach us to pray, just as John taught his disciples."

He said to them, "When you pray, say:

Abun d'bashmayo
Neth kadash ishmoch

In English,

Our Father in heaven,
Hallowed be your name,
Your kingdom come,
Your will be done,
On earth as in heaven.
Give us today our daily bread.
Forgive us our sins as we forgive those who sin against us.
Save us from the time of trial,
And deliver us from evil.
[For the kingdom, the power, and the glory are yours,
Now and forever. Amen.]

A number of Messianic artists have also done custom renditions of the Lord’s Prayer, often mixing Hebrew and English:
