I never comment on RUclips but today, I will make an exception. For three years, I fought to get a scholarship to study in my dream university in my dream country to do my dream master. I had no money to study, NONE! I would work my butt off doing internships that I was either not paid for or very little paid for. I had no social life and almost no friends. But I knew that this was a little sacrifice compared to what I would have if I was admitted to the university. And I was granted the scholarship!! The day before I travelled to pursue my master , I lost my brother. I was devasted. I cried and asked God “Why are you doing this to me? Why now? Why?”. I was desperate and I thought I would never make it. My dream was starting with a nightmare. Yet, I did not give up. Yesterday, I submitted my dissertation. This morning when I woke up, I discovered this song. It is as if God was talking to me. I have been crying since then. Believe people, believe! Believe in yourself, being in your strength and believe that if you put your heart into something, God will facilitate. Love from Mali 🇲🇱
Mariam, thank you so much for sharing your story and encouraging others. God was definitely speaking to you. Teni is speaking in English and Yoruba. The Yoruba lyrics also say that "I rejoiced with others when good things happened to them, but now I too can finally rejoice. At last, my day of rejoicing has come." All the best to you and congratulations on finishing your program. God bless!
I am so grateful to read this testimony, I celebrate your wins. May your continually be a showcase of God's greatness, many will ask you to show them This Great God who is in charge of life 🙏🏾💕 Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you all for your love and support. ❤️ Update: I was granted my master with distinction and two months later, found my dream job❤️ God exceeds all expectations!
Music isn’t about language only. BeCause i don’t understand any Word on that language but you can’t imagine goosebumps i got whenever i’m listening it. Greetings from Côte d’Ivoire 🇨🇮🇨🇮
This song is simply unforgettable. Passing through one of the hardest time in my life, this song gave me hope. Who is still listening to it in 2023?.... Thanks Teni!!
I can hear my granny's voice listening to this song. Same feeling I felt the day she dropped that video on IG. 😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥😥. We don't deserve her. Thank you ma❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Hey ... I graduated yesterday . When everything was against it , and I almost failed my classes , but GOD stood up for me ! This , was my graduation song ❤️
I'm a Malaysian woman who's crazy of this song. The vibes. The feeling in her voice is wow! I'm already a fan of Nigerian music and I always enjoy listening to it with my Nigerian boyfriend.
I have no idea what she is singing about , I don’t understand the words..but the song is so in tune with my soul .. can’t even explain. Love from Cameroon 🇨🇲

As someone who landed the soul of America in 2019 with no family and friends, to come study away from your family for the first time this song made me pull through it was difficult. Still listening to it in 2024 and packed full with all the nostalgia from 2019. But I succeeded completed my degree program working with a good job and now a legal resident. Thanks Teni😢😢
You make me a proud ondo man.. Nothing like appreciating your roots.. Olu maintain, lord of Ajasa were the last prominent ondo people that try putting us on the map.. Wo shey Omo ye mi
Jubril Esan actually dont forget Danny young, chinko Ekun is from ondo state as well Ikare Akoko precisely and small Doctor as well..and so on...not olu or Ajasa alone are representing ondo state...
In 2019, I heard this song! At the time, I was in a cross road not knowing where to turn or which direction to head to as my life felt stucked! I wanted to transition to a different career and I was really doubting myself but then I heard this song and it was all I needed. A lot of people were discouraging me but I knew what I felt in my heart, and I had no doubt God placed that dream and vision for a purpose! Fast forward to 2024, I changed careers and went to study nursing and now I’m on my way to pursuing my Medical degree to be a Medical Doctor! Believe in yourself and don’t let anyone discourage you, the only limitation is the mind!
oww my god... is that the happiest song ever created.... this is more than a song to me.... from an indian guy i will say soul sound is more than any language.... touched me so much... and thanks the artist to give this world something the world really needed

Yes I'm 4:12 I'm successful in this one life I've got yes im....
This is the Ondo dialect. I'll attempt to translate. Uyo Meyo lehun osan o kan mi o ee roughly translates to: The joy I'm feeling over great(wonderful) things that concern(pertain to) me.
Well done! For aptness, you could say 'The joy I'm feeling or my joyfulness over great things have finally happened to me. To paraphrase, 'Being joyful over good things, that is success, has been rewarded in life. Lovely, lovely song. I love Teni.
I am from the Caribbean St.Vincent and the Grenadines and her voice is chilling. There is something so beautiful when Africans sing songs in their respective natural tongue. Amazing song to add to "case" thats already in my listing.
Why make me cry Teni...mom and dad I appreciate guy's for bring me to this world. Lord make her grow more to give us more motivational song to keep our hustle going.
First time I heard this was on your grad video you put on instagram. Hoped you'd make a single of it some day and here it is, still gives the chills just like the short skit you did that day. You are a blessing to our time. Keep shining girl.
"Everybody is born a winner..... If you workhard you can climb the mountain top" Thank you for this Teni!!!!!!! This song sure brings tears of joy anytime I listen to it.
yeah musi isn't about language, i love the everytime i listen to the song mi get goosebumps and body stat to shivers, to me is holds some spiritual messages..love you from 🙏🇧🇼🇧🇼in case u dont knw Botswana
I from Madagascar 🇲🇬, I discovered this song in my random spotify playlist and my tears came up from the first note and as soon as I heard her voice... Since then I have been listening to it over and over again at least 10 times a day. This song touched the deepest part of my soul.

Happy Birthday Teni , God bless you for this beautiful piece. Damn this song just made me reminisce about my late mum, may her beautiful soul continue to rest in peace (Amen) 🕊

Who is here August 2019? My testimony goes, a year ago I was in labor and using my headphone to listen to good music while going through the childbirth process. Teni! Uyo Meyo came on and my spirit and soul lifted. I had no idea what the meaning of the song was at the time, I broke down in tears when I heard "Don't let them tell you, you can't. Just keep on pushing on..." My water broke and our son was delivered safely, no intervention. Teni, you are God sent.
I have never in my life listen to a song repeatedly for FOUR HOURS (4 good hours unstoppable). A complete song that involves the mix of culture, great lyrics, outstanding composition, emotion, motivation e.t.c. I can't be proud of you enough, I know my late grandmother will be proud of you in the grave. How I wish you could give us a remix fit King Sunny Ade, or Asha, or Beautiful Nubia. Teniola wa dai gboo omo loogun.
"Wan ro pe ótan shugbon olórun so pe oku Wan ro pe ótan shugbon olórun so pe oku eeeeeh" 👆Theses lines melt my soul, when all thinks all is over, God show himself in his mighty power and proof who he is as the divine.
From Ghana and I don't understand a word here except that I saw a lil translation somewhere on Instagram today, something to do with celebrating with others. But you got in me a fan from Ghana already. Go higher Teni. By the way I saw u sing this song with the cavemen from one of your Instagram posts and wanted to quench my thirst, that brought me here
Wow. There's something about language. Nigerian artists embraced their local languages plus hard work and excellent production. This is why they are excelling. Did anybody noticed she eulogised her dad towards the end? Some message can never be passed across except in the local language. Meanwhile this is on repeat till God knows when. ' ha won l'pe tan sugbon oluwa s'ope pku...'
Though I don’t understand anything, this got me looking back my life and imagining where i am going Teni Mwari vakuwedzere ( May God bless you Teni) Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Rough translation of the song ( feel to correct me if I made a song) The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too The joy..... The joy..... Eh joy... The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too Everybody's born a winner eyeh eyeeh If only you just believe yeh eh eyeh Close your eyes and come and see nah eyeh eyeh yea Don't you worry 'bout a thing nah "Cos if you work hard You can get it if you want If you strive hard you can be just what you want If you work hard you can climb the mountain top 'Cos nothing is too small And nothing is too big The joy..... The joy..... Oh Joy The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too The joy..... The joy..... Oh Joy The joy I've expressed for others shall be my portion too What my eyes have seen eh eyeh What my eyes have seen Don't let them tell you, "You can't" And they won't help you just so you know Just keep on pushing oh uhooo Where my dad can't get to, I'll get there and beyond Where my mum can't get to, I'll get there and beyond Oh my goodness I beg of you Oh goodness grant me my breakthrough Oh my goddness do not slacken The joy..... The joy..... Oh Joy The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too The joy..... The joy..... Oh Joy The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too Here are my palms as white as snow I will swagger higher and higher (Self-eulogizing) Daughter of Oluwoleje Daughter of Apata too I stand unshakable on my feet Ah They thought I was finished but God had other plans They thought I was finished but God had other plans Humanity is the duty of all The wealth mustn't slumber You should stay with me everyday Do not let the enemy slander me Whereever you may be I know you are proud of me because I'm an achiever, I achieve because I'm cool, calm and collected I've made it in my life, eh, I've made it, eh I've done good with my life, I've done good
This song just renewed my believe in God and myself like x10000000000000 am literally shaking listening to this and repeating it oh Jehovah thanks for the message again
Spiritual and emotional song I cherish so much . can't exchange it for nothing,can play it over and over again. Teni makanaki.you are the best, those in the spirit with me let me hear you!!!!.....
Just when you are about to lose all hope in my country Nigeria, someone like teni comes along and renew your hopes.... Thank you Teni.... I am grateful for this beautiful song
Teni, I don’t know why I love your music so much, even I don’t understand Yoruba but this song got my soul, you are so blessed, keep giving us sweet melody. God bless u. Happy birthday! More grace. 😍🎊🎉✨

We who dont understand the language, but a drawn to listen to it over and over again. It is possible , maybe its in our DNA our generational history, where we are connected.
I came here after Kingdom's Performance on Nigerian Idols... I'm sorry if u not spiritual but Teni carries an anointing in her life... All her songs they go straight to the heart and SOUL ,DAAAMMNNN
osayande esosa david I have played this song more than 10 times today. Am from Rwanda, I don’t understand anything she is saying. The song is so in tune with my soul 👌👌
Her vibrato voice is very soulful. I'm grateful for the new wave of Nigerian musicians. Teni the entertainer, Odunsi the engine, Tay iwar, Johnny Drille, Falana, A'rese, Nonso Amadi .... Then old artists recruiting into the new wave i.e Simi.
Teni, Teni....Listening to this song with tears... I wish i understand Yoruba.. Even if i don't i can feel this song down to my soul.. Your Voice is a blast.. 2019 I know you will do wonders.. Is not easy but you gonna grind through... God will see you through.. #SkyLevel...
I hadly comment on songs, But this here if well promoted . What you re listening to here will be an ever green. it comes once in a life time for every musician. Teni Respect

I never comment on RUclips but today, I will make an exception.
For three years, I fought to get a scholarship to study in my dream university in my dream country to do my dream master. I had no money to study, NONE!
I would work my butt off doing internships that I was either not paid for or very little paid for. I had no social life and almost no friends.
But I knew that this was a little sacrifice compared to what I would have if I was admitted to the university. And I was granted the scholarship!!
The day before I travelled to pursue my master , I lost my brother. I was devasted. I cried and asked God “Why are you doing this to me? Why now? Why?”.
I was desperate and I thought I would never make it. My dream was starting with a nightmare.
Yet, I did not give up.
Yesterday, I submitted my dissertation. This morning when I woke up, I discovered this song.
It is as if God was talking to me. I have been crying since then.
Believe people, believe! Believe in yourself, being in your strength and believe that if you put your heart into something, God will facilitate.
Love from Mali 🇲🇱
Mariam, thank you so much for sharing your story and encouraging others. God was definitely speaking to you. Teni is speaking in English and Yoruba. The Yoruba lyrics also say that "I rejoiced with others when good things happened to them, but now I too can finally rejoice. At last, my day of rejoicing has come." All the best to you and congratulations on finishing your program. God bless!
I'm so proud of you to see this wallah especially from our maliba
God will always be there for you whenever there is a question or challenge no-one else can answer or do. bless you
I am so grateful to read this testimony, I celebrate your wins. May your continually be a showcase of God's greatness, many will ask you to show them This Great God who is in charge of life 🙏🏾💕
Love from Nigeria 🇳🇬
Thank you all for your love and support. ❤️ Update: I was granted my master with distinction and two months later, found my dream job❤️ God exceeds all expectations!

I listen to her almost everyday
This babe is taking over the music industry, I'm I wrong?
yes, am addicted to this song. very inspiring and motivating.
This girl stole my heart
Am 3:16 a.m in bed and yet "mo yan fada" holds me on repeat...Teni...
I'm a Malaysian woman who's crazy of this song. The vibes. The feeling in her voice is wow! I'm already a fan of Nigerian music and I always enjoy listening to it with my Nigerian boyfriend.

Sorry bro.... Me too have been in tears anytime I listen to this song
As someone who landed the soul of America in 2019 with no family and friends, to come study away from your family for the first time this song made me pull through it was difficult. Still listening to it in 2024 and packed full with all the nostalgia from 2019. But I succeeded completed my degree program working with a good job and now a legal resident. Thanks Teni😢😢
I love how everyone is genuinely happy for Teni. ♥️
You make me a proud ondo man.. Nothing like appreciating your roots.. Olu maintain, lord of Ajasa were the last prominent ondo people that try putting us on the map.. Wo shey Omo ye mi
Jubril Esan Ilaje will say "wo se oma ye mi"
I knew from your first piece that you're the next biggest thing to happen to 9ja Afro beat in the order of wizkid you are next.
@@olukemiugbegua4763 wó shey.. But your surname thou.. That can't be us yeah?
Jubril Esan what of Sean tissle
Jubril Esan actually dont forget Danny young, chinko Ekun is from ondo state as well Ikare Akoko precisely and small Doctor as well..and so on...not olu or Ajasa alone are representing ondo state...

In 2019, I heard this song! At the time, I was in a cross road not knowing where to turn or which direction to head to as my life felt stucked! I wanted to transition to a different career and I was really doubting myself but then I heard this song and it was all I needed.
A lot of people were discouraging me but I knew what I felt in my heart, and I had no doubt God placed that dream and vision for a purpose! Fast forward to 2024, I changed careers and went to study nursing and now I’m on my way to pursuing my Medical degree to be a Medical Doctor!
Believe in yourself and don’t let anyone discourage you, the only limitation is the mind!
oww my god... is that the happiest song ever created.... this is more than a song to me.... from an indian guy i will say soul sound is more than any language.... touched me so much... and thanks the artist to give this world something the world really needed

"Uyo Meyo leun o san o kan mi o e" literally means "the way I celebrate or rejoice with other people, it's my turn to be celebrated".
It will be my turn too.... Soon... Very soon
Amen
Thank you so much for translating pls are too from Ondo. God bless you
Beautiful
Thanks for the interpretation. No wonder I wonder I was so attached to the song.
This is the Ondo dialect. I'll attempt to translate. Uyo Meyo lehun osan o kan mi o ee roughly translates to: The joy I'm feeling over great(wonderful) things that concern(pertain to) me.
Thank you so much
Well done! For aptness, you could say 'The joy I'm feeling or my joyfulness over great things have finally happened to me. To paraphrase, 'Being joyful over good things, that is success, has been rewarded in life. Lovely, lovely song. I love Teni.
You tried but it really means: As I rejoice over people's good news, now it's my turn to share my good news.
@@snehsnehbae Is it possible to like this twice? Thank you!
Ondo people use U for almost everything .isu -usu ile-ule
I am from the Caribbean St.Vincent and the Grenadines and her voice is chilling. There is something so beautiful when Africans sing songs in their respective natural tongue. Amazing song to add to "case"

Who is here August 2019? My testimony goes, a year ago I was in labor and using my headphone to listen to good music while going through the childbirth process. Teni! Uyo Meyo came on and my spirit and soul lifted. I had no idea what the meaning of the song was at the time, I broke down in tears when I heard "Don't let them tell you, you can't. Just keep on pushing on..." My water broke and our son was delivered safely, no intervention. Teni, you are God sent.
Hallelujah
I have never in my life listen to a song repeatedly for FOUR HOURS (4 good hours unstoppable). A complete song that involves the mix of culture, great lyrics, outstanding composition, emotion, motivation e.t.c. I can't be proud of you enough, I know my late grandmother will be proud of you in the grave. How I wish you could give us a remix fit King Sunny Ade, or Asha, or Beautiful Nubia. Teniola wa dai gboo omo loogun.
Olanubi Valentine Adefusika dame here mines for over four hours and it sounds spiritual and very touching Teni makanaki you are going beyond the skies
"Wan ro pe ótan shugbon olórun so pe oku
Wan ro pe ótan shugbon olórun so pe oku eeeeeh"
👆Theses lines melt my soul, when all thinks all is over, God show himself in his mighty power and proof who he is as the divine.
From Ghana and I don't understand a word here except that I saw a lil translation somewhere on Instagram today, something to do with celebrating with others. But you got in me a fan from Ghana already. Go higher Teni. By the way I saw u sing this song with the cavemen from one of your Instagram posts and wanted to quench my thirst, that brought me here
The song is power packed. Please read through comments. Some people have translated parts of it. It is much more that you know.
Wow. There's something about language. Nigerian artists embraced their local languages plus hard work and excellent production. This is why they are excelling. Did anybody noticed she eulogised her dad towards the end? Some message can never be passed across except in the local language. Meanwhile this is on repeat till God knows when. ' ha won l'pe tan sugbon oluwa s'ope pku...'
Yesso, She hailed her late Dad, a Great Army General and elite educationist.
Though I don’t understand anything, this got me looking back my life and imagining where i am going
Teni Mwari vakuwedzere ( May God bless you Teni)
Love from Zimbabwe 🇿🇼
Yes yes. Same here am also saying (Mwari awedzere makore)
Zim approves the track.
Rough translation of the song ( feel to correct me if I made a song)
The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too
The joy.....
The joy.....
Eh joy...
The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too
Everybody's born a winner eyeh eyeeh
If only you just believe yeh eh eyeh
Close your eyes and come and see nah eyeh eyeh yea
Don't you worry 'bout a thing nah

You can get it if you want
If you strive hard you can be just what you want
If you work hard you can climb the mountain top
'Cos nothing is too small
And nothing is too big

Oh Joy
The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too

Oh Joy
The joy I've expressed for others shall be my portion too
What my eyes have seen eh eyeh
What my eyes have seen
Don't let them tell you, "You can't"
And they won't help you just so you know
Just keep on pushing oh uhooo
Where my dad can't get to, I'll get there and beyond
Where my mum can't get to, I'll get there and beyond
Oh my goodness I beg of you
Oh goodness grant me my breakthrough
Oh my goddness do not slacken
The joy.....
The joy.....
Oh Joy
The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too
The joy.....
The joy.....
Oh Joy
The Joy I have expressed for others shall be my portion too
Here are my palms as white as snow
I will swagger higher and higher
(Self-eulogizing)
Daughter of Oluwoleje
Daughter of Apata too
I stand unshakable on my feet
Ah
They thought I was finished but God had other plans
They thought I was finished but God had other plans
Humanity is the duty of all
The wealth mustn't slumber
You should stay with me everyday
Do not let the enemy slander me
Whereever you may be I know you are proud of me
because
I'm an achiever, I achieve
because
I'm cool, calm and collected
I've made it in my life, eh, I've made it, eh
I've done good with my life, I've done good
Thank you 👍🎼
Thank you

You sound so remarkably awesome. Perfect voice and inspirational 100%. I like and love your drive. #lit100%.
Teni deserves the Grammy joor ❤️❤️❤️🙌🏾🙌🏾
Thumbs up if you want to hear Teni and Simi on a track
Debbie J I was thinking this while listening to the song. They have the same kind of vibe. A collabo would be great. Teni & Adekunle Gold too
yeah!!!
Yeahhh
Not just the song she carries something
Omg! It has to happen!
I cry when I meditate on the words with respect to my life, what I've been through, what I'm working towards. I'm almost there, I'm strong and I won't give up.
Keep going
Mate....I’m half 🇬🇭🇯🇲 but this song does me somehow!!!! The voice is a gift 😩🙏🏾
I dont understand. But who cares . Its healing me spiritually
TeNi i don't need the meaning of this song, i believe is a song of hope, diligent and not giving up in what soever you find your hands doing. God bless you for this song, have been waiting for this since your graduation , Love you
This song is so connecting!!! Miss you my lovely father..These words my dad spoke to me almost all my life time ..Never give up ...You can do it ..Teni bless you!!!

Dr. Dolor Entertaiment
Kajo kajo kajo (Let’s dance)

[Verse 1]
Everybody’s born a winner
If only you just believe yea eh yeh eh
Close your eyes and come and see
Don’t you worry about a thing nah
Cause if you work hard
You can get it if you work
If you strive hard
You can be just what you want
If you work hard
You can climb the mountain tall
Cause nothing is too small
And nothing is too big
[Chorus]
Uyo Meyo
Uyo Meyo
O Uyo

[Verse 2]
What my eyes have seen, eyeh
Oun to ju mi ti ri ah, eyeh (what my eyes have seen)
Don’t let them tell you “You Can’t”
And they won’t help you, just so you know
Just keep on pushing oh oh uh oh
Ibi ti Daddy mi o de (where my father couldn’t reach)
Ma de be ma tu koja (I’ll get there and I’ll pass)
Ibi ti Mummy mi o de (where my mother couldn’t reach)
Ma de be ma tu koja (I’ll get there and I’ll pass)
Ori ori mi jowo (Oh my goodness I beg of you)
Ori la no okan mi o (my head pave way for my thoughts)
Ori ehhhh mi masun (my head don’t sleep)
Yea eh yea
[Chorus]
