The chorus is an age long folklore that has been handed down from generations of Ondo Ekimogun people of Ondo State in South West Nigeria. In ancient history, the Yoruba people live a communal lifestyle. The good of others is a plus to one. Unlike nowadays where people live independent of others and the dearth of communal goodwill, the song reminds us all of the greatness in communal living. 2. meaning "my rejoicing with others has brought forth my own source of joy" 3. "Uyo Meyo is a traditional Ondo saying from Nigeria that talks about rejoicing and happiness. The Ondo tribe is part of the larger Yoruba culture in South-West Nigeria." 4. In African Traditional Religion, the place of “Ori” cannot be overemphasized. Ori, literally meaning “head,” refers to one’s spiritual intuition and destiny. It is the reflective spark of human consciousness embedded into the human essence, and therefore is often personified as an Orisha in its own right. Teni begs her Ori to let her prosper and guard her. She pleads with her Ori to open doors for her. 5. Here she’s doing something called the “Oriki” its common among the Yoruba tribe in West Africa (Nigeria) which translates to “praise poetry”. The oríkì varies in length depending on whether it is the name given to a child to describe the future portents of the life or a recital of the accomplishments of a person’s clan. It is invoked to praise a child for bringing pride to the parents or to attempt to evoke virtuous character traits of bravery, fortitude and perseverance that are believed to be innate in a person by pedigree. 6. Then she went on to invoke the spirit of her late father “Omoluwoleja Apata” 7. In Yoruba traditional setting, the dead is saintly and a communication with the dead is expected to be done with a pure heart and soul. Again, she tapped into the rich Yoruba traditions by calling on the dead not to sleep. Yoruba believe a dead parent is the Guardian Spirit of his/her children. It is reciprocated. She has made him proud as a worthy child that has kept his name alive despite the wishes of the enemy to kill it off. She is demanding that he protects her in return cause she’s made her proud and he should be happy wherever he is. here's the link to the site lyricstranslate.com/en/uyo-meyo-lets-rejoice.html
this song was written with inspiration. It brings me back on track to keep pushing when I'm almost giving up. Thanks Teni. I hope to see you one day to tell you I made it!!!😢
This song really gets me emotional 😭 makes me think about my friends who are not even supportive of my RUclips channel they always mocking me ,that I should stop uploading and that it’s not working for me 💔 but I know one day is one day one video will go viral and I’ll be making it big . Thanks for the lovely song Teni ❤️

I'm Kenyan but I've understood the message of the song in full....we all have something special in us and if you have a dream and work hard you'll achieve it!!!
Notice something in this video. Teni just showed us how hard she has been working on herself before stardom. I love and respect you so much Teni. Thank you for inspiring Nigerians and Africans.
Onyei Charles and the fact that she didn’t lose herself to the pressure of trying to be more sexual in her appearance is soo commendable. She’s incredible👐🏽👐🏽
South Africa is still here even in 2024. I say everybody is born a winner!!If you strive hard you can be what you want!! Nothing is too small and nothing is too big for you!¡ We were all born to achieve our goals. Uye Muyo
Am a Ghanaian 🇬🇭🇬🇭 but i love Teni more than the Nigerians even do. I wish you all the best in your career. And because of you ,i will marry a Nigerian *cantonment boy icekid*

hello. I am from Poland. I am white but I don't care. everyone is equal. I love your voice. thank you for being and showing what beauty you carry in your soul. I hug you. I'm white but I fell that my soul is from Africa.
I don't really understand the language but this is a high vibration song, whenever i hear it, i can easily feel positive emotions within my whole body. I love Nigerians they are super talented in almost everything👊👍
Wow this song got to my soul....who else cried while listening?....As for me,Am still crying here like a baby😭😭.... Lovely inspirational song...Teni my love,You are a great inspiration....thanks so much for this song.....I love you for life...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤❤❤💋💋💋
Yes. I’m african American and found out I’m Yoruba. It soothes my heart and soul. I know my ancestors are proud that I picked up the mother tongue that they were forced to give up during slavery
I came here to listen more of this song after seeing some Nigerians leaving the country through the desert . It's sad because pressure too much! May God see them through in the deathly journey for a greener pasture. Most tragedy of this is that not everyone of them will make it alive.
😢 I don’t know why I feel so emotional 😭 listening to this song, this is my motivational song for the beginning of this year. Only if you believe you can do any thing if you work hard, this song is all about me. Thank Teni I love you ❤️
Been through a lot in life ,never seen myself as anything than the bottom but I know my time will come to celebrate,I will continue to work hard and believe I will make it.
Is this Yoruba? I love listening to Nigerian languages in their music. Burna boy, Adekunle Gold, olamide. And all Nigerian kingdom movies. Love from Uganda
You don’t have to be from Naija to listen to this song, she got me emotional as sh#t, though I don’t understand the language, music is a universal language Teni G.O.A.T 🇿🇦🇿🇦SA stand up, Teni to the world
Lol, I'm Nigerian, more than 90% of us don't understand what she's saying.. it's a deeper dialect of one of the numerous languages we have here... You are not alone 😘
"Uyo meyo" is a word in Yoruba dialect from Ondo State and it means "I rejoiced" so she's saying that she rejoiced with people's success and the same came back to her. Meaning if you celebrate with people, you'll also be celebrated.
@@nwikendulue4824 she's singing dance, dance and rejoice - that because she always celebrates every good thing, good thing has happened to her and it is now her turn to be celebrated.
Music Translation for non-Yoruba speakers and Yoruba speakers “Ori’s” English translation is “head” but within the context of this song and the Yoruba language it translates to an individual’s “Divine Destiny”. To translate such an inspirational song literally is to erode the wealth of message being conveyed by the artist.! Chorus the joy that I express the joy that I express oh joy! the joy that I express for the good fortunes of others, that same joy is now mine Verse 2 (The essence of ORI) What my eyes have seen eh eyeh oh the adversities that I have encountered 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 the height that my father could not attain I will attain and also surpass the height that my mother could not attain I will attain and also surpass my head (divine destiny), my head (divine destiny), I beg of you my head (divine destiny), oh pave the way for my heart's desire my head (destiny), do not slumber!

Oh God!!! This song have touched my soul. I've been listening to this song on repeat for over 2weeks...my family and neighbors think I've gone mad. Am not a Yoruba girl oo, I don't know how to speak Yoruba but am singing this song like I'm a Yoruba girl....Its all because of you Teni, you're my mentor. The song has a great message, it's inspiring.
Dear Teni this song is Beautiful it has Helped me stay alive throughout my period of Depression, whenever I hear this song Hope comes alive in me. You’re a Blessing Thank you

One of my best songs from Teni. Infact the very first song from her I heard and fel inlove with her songs. But how many people know just how spiritual this song is?
The message in the song is the fact that everyone is Burn a winner. If you believe you will be. Where your parents couldn't get to, you will go beyond.
I'm african American and I wish I knew where in Africa I come from. Reaching out to different roots and trying to find who I am. It's a painful thing. This beautiful music gives me hope. ❤️❤️❤️ Hope I can save money to take a DNA test.
Am from Zimbabwe have no clue what she is saying but you can tell good music when you can feel soul of the Artist without knowing what they saying....abosulety amazing Song

I'm a Ugandan that knows good Music when I listen to a song...This song almost made me me shed a Tear 😢😢😢 even if I wasn't understanding the language..but with the few "Struggle hard english words" in the song it has got me emotional This chic is on fire....🔥🔥🔥🔥
This song came into my life when I lost all hope in life. My visa was expiring as i failed to change it to a long stay after spending all my money for a 30 days visa only to travel and suffer. Praise God for my life.. God saw me through. Thank you Teni
This is just so beautiful...Am I the only one who got goosebumps watching this. I know it’s January buh we just might never get a better song out of Nigeria this year. Thank you Teni✊🏽❤️
I'm from Zimbabwe I dont understand what shez saying but I'm sure this song is slowly wiping away the Corona Virus..God please save the world.bless Teni🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼🙄🙄🙏🙏
It's a prayer, the whole song is a prayer.. It hit me. That's why it feels so deep. Indeed, a prayer in the mother tongue finds breadth and depth we can't in another.
I heard this song on the radio and I've been dying to know who sang it. Then I got home from the gym and I saw the video playing on Trace and that's when I learnt that Teni sang it. The first time I heard this song on the radio I became very emotional even without understanding a damn thing she was saying. Folks, that's the power of good music. I'm not yoruba but my goodness what a song! God bless your hustle soul sister🙏

She is the next best thing! out of the Nigerian Music industry. Tiwa and Yemi can stop fighting. Even their merger can't meet up. Thumps up, young lady. much love to you.
I'm Zimbabwean and I don't understand most of the lyrics but I know it's safe to say this song is so spiritual and has a heavenly feeling 😢😢 .. whenever I feel down or feel like giving up i listen to this song 💕💕💕💕💕 .. my all time favourite by Teni .
Harrison....... Me too. I missed Nigeria. My fantasy is for Nigeria to have good security. Then go back to my neighborhood, then tie wrapper upto my chest and walk on my neighborhood. When you leave home for so long, you start to appreciate and value those things we took for granted. I left Nigeria 27yrs ago. Visit home few times but I'll like to stay longer.
@@nomanoma604 True talk.. More grease to their elbows.... As for security in NG, I guess it's generally about being careful... as in every other clime #LivingInLagos
So happy to see Teni doing so well! When I saw her with Wizkid, I felt so proud. I just knew that true talent and hard work always wins. Real recognize real! 😢.
I could never forget this song. Teni's Uyo Meya gave me so much inspiration 2years ago while leaving everything I have worked for behind in Nigeria in search of greener pastures. It gave me strength when I felt discouraged and I wanted to give up. Thank God I took that decision, I am bigger and better now. Keep up the good work Teni darling. Just know that you inspire so many people - young and older people alike. We love what you do dear Teni 😘❤♥ Loads of love dear ❤♥💕
Heard this song on some music Channel and never left my heart. Woke very early this morning to even listen. I teared up 😢. Especially knowing finally what the song was all about. God bless my hustle and everyone that gave a like button to this song. Teni the sky is just your starting place. Keep soaring high babe. We love u.
"They said it was over, but God said there still some way to go..." Powerful lyrics...water just dey commot my eye anyhow 😂. But it's all good. We keep pushing even with the odds stacked against us✊

@@freshprince9382 thank you so much for the translation bro...👏👏.may God bless you.... I've been listening to this track crying everyday whilst I didn't have a clue of what the song is all about.... it's so touching and it's my ringing tone..... I've realised that she's got the same belief as mine: I've always believed that my late dad is watching me wherever he is...and I guess he's always smiling because I'm following his path and living my life according to his teachings.
I can feel the sincerity, the calming vibe though I have no idea of what she talking about,......., now that's music,..... speaking to millions of souls of different languages but still delivers the same message. My wife just gave birth to a baby boy while I was watching and at the same time listening and reading comments Great song Teni...⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🌴
Teniola gives me a goosebumps the first time I heard this song was at sch pursuing ma Bachelor degree in Nursing through tough time at sch but the dong gave me strength humility and passionately I started on Teni. You woman, u ma Model, ma definition of music. No word can describe how magnificent you are. I feel the cold breeze overwhelming ma superficial layer of the skin with a very cold thin film of moisture whenever the speaker banger uyo meyo is hitting and as well whenever someone calls me coz I tapped it as ma Ringtone. Much love from UG🇺🇬
Ever since I found out about her,I'm able to cross my legs for at least the next 100years from now ,rest assured this wonderful lady will keep us on the AList.

1. The chorus is an age long folklore that has been handed down from generations of Ondo Ekimogun people of Ondo State in South West Nigeria. In ancient history, the Yoruba people live a communal lifestyle. The good of others is a plus to one. Unlike nowadays where people live independent of others and the dearth of communal goodwill, the song reminds us all of the greatness in communal living.
2. meaning "my rejoicing with others has brought forth my own source of joy"
3. "Uyo Meyo is a traditional Ondo saying from Nigeria that talks about rejoicing and happiness. The Ondo tribe is part of the larger Yoruba culture in South-West Nigeria."
4. In African Traditional Religion, the place of “Ori” cannot be overemphasized. Ori, literally meaning “head,” refers to one’s spiritual intuition and destiny. It is the reflective spark of human consciousness embedded into the human essence, and therefore is often personified as an Orisha in its own right. Teni begs her Ori to let her prosper and guard her. She pleads with her Ori to open doors for her.
5. Here she’s doing something called the “Oriki” its common among the Yoruba tribe in West Africa (Nigeria) which translates to “praise poetry”. The oríkì varies in length depending on whether it is the name given to a child to describe the future portents of the life or a recital of the accomplishments of a person’s clan. It is invoked to praise a child for bringing pride to the parents or to attempt to evoke virtuous character traits of bravery, fortitude and perseverance that are believed to be innate in a person by pedigree.
6. Then she went on to invoke the spirit of her late father “Omoluwoleja Apata”
7. In Yoruba traditional setting, the dead is saintly and a communication with the dead is expected to be done with a pure heart and soul. Again, she tapped into the rich Yoruba traditions by calling on the dead not to sleep. Yoruba believe a dead parent is the Guardian Spirit of his/her children. It is reciprocated. She has made him proud as a worthy child that has kept his name alive despite the wishes of the enemy to kill it off. She is demanding that he protects her in return cause she’s made her proud and he should be happy wherever he is.

Is this Yoruba? I love listening to Nigerian languages in their music. Burna boy, Adekunle Gold, olamide. And all Nigerian kingdom movies. Love from Uganda
It is a dialect of Yoruba.

Same here😭😭but I can't stop thinking about just how it has touched my soul
Lol, I'm Nigerian, more than 90% of us don't understand what she's saying.. it's a deeper dialect of one of the numerous languages we have here... You are not alone 😘
"Uyo meyo" is a word in Yoruba dialect from Ondo State and it means "I rejoiced" so she's saying that she rejoiced with people's success and the same came back to her.
Meaning if you celebrate with people, you'll also be celebrated.
@@nwikendulue4824 she's singing dance, dance and rejoice - that because she always celebrates every good thing, good thing has happened to her and it is now her turn to be celebrated.
Music Translation for non-Yoruba speakers and Yoruba speakers
“Ori’s” English translation is “head” but within the context of this song and the Yoruba language it translates to an individual’s “Divine Destiny”. To translate such an inspirational song literally is to erode the wealth of message being conveyed by the artist.!
Chorus
the joy that I express
the joy that I express
oh joy!
the joy that I express for the good fortunes of others, that same joy is now mine
Verse 2
(The essence of ORI)
What my eyes have seen eh eyeh
oh the adversities that I have encountered
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
the height that my father could not attain
I will attain and also surpass
the height that my mother could not attain
I will attain and also surpass
my head (divine destiny), my head (divine destiny), I beg of you
my head (divine destiny), oh pave the way for my heart's desire
my head (destiny), do not slumber!

Oh God!!! This song have touched my soul. I've been listening to this song on repeat for over 2weeks...my family and neighbors think I've gone mad.

I heard this song on the radio and I've been dying to know who sang it. Then I got home from the gym and I saw the video playing on Trace and that's when I learnt that Teni sang it. The first time I heard this song on the radio I became very emotional even without understanding a damn thing she was saying. Folks, that's the power of good music.

So happy to see Teni doing so well! When I saw her with Wizkid, I felt so proud. I just knew that true talent and hard work always wins. Real recognize real! 😢.
I could never forget this song. Teni's Uyo Meya gave me so much inspiration 2years ago while leaving everything I have worked for behind in Nigeria in search of greener pastures. It gave me strength when I felt discouraged and I wanted to give up. Thank God I took that decision, I am bigger and better now. Keep up the good work Teni darling. Just know that you inspire so many people - young and older people alike. We love what you do dear Teni 😘❤♥
Loads of love dear ❤♥💕

Uyo meyo lehun osan o Kan mi o eh
It's my turn for people to rejoice with me just the way I've rejoiced with so many of them
2:22 I will go above and beyond where my mother and father couldn't reach in life
2:33 my head (my God) please make a way for me in this life
2:39 my head (my God) do not sleep (please rise on my behalf)
3:03 my hands are clean and pure (a Yoruba way of claiming innocence)
3:08 I will walk tall heads up. till I get to the top
3:12 calling her indigenous translational names reminding herself the daughter of who she is and how she will continue to hold on
3:25 they thought and even said it's over with me but God said no. I'm just starting
3:35 children covers nakedness better than clothes do for the body (African proverb)
3:40 olaosebikan (her dead dad presumably) please do not sleep wherever you are. Walk with me everyday. don't let the enemies worry me
3:55 wherever you are looking down on me (possible referring to her dad) I know you are happy because I'm making you proud
4:05 I'm walking tall in life. Yes I'm
4:12 I'm successful in this one life I've got yes im....
Same, from Harare Zimbabwe, but I'm loving this song even if I dont know the translation, it's just so touching.
Ini ndakainzwa ndaenda kumasahwira....i fell in love with it.... it's always on repeat.....Teni is talented 😍😍.. whenever I look at her I see our very own @QueenKadjah #QueenKadjah ..
@@freshprince9382 thank you so much for the translation bro...👏👏.may God bless you.... I've been listening to this track crying everyday whilst I didn't have a clue of what the song is all about.... it's so touching and it's my ringing tone..... I've realised that she's got the same belief as mine: I've always believed that my late dad is watching me wherever he is...and I guess he's always smiling because I'm following his path and living my life according to his teachings.
No song has ever energised and softened my heart at same time like this song.
This piece is a not just a song but a spirit.
I can feel the sincerity, the calming vibe though I have no idea of what she talking about,......., now that's music,..... speaking to millions of souls of different languages but still delivers the same message. My wife just gave birth to a baby boy while I was watching and at the same time listening and reading comments Great song Teni...⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘⚘🌴
Congratulations to you and your wife!!!!
Congrats!!!!!!
Congratulations
Congratulations
Teniola gives me a goosebumps the first time I heard this song was at sch pursuing ma Bachelor degree in Nursing through tough time at sch but the dong gave me strength humility and passionately I started on Teni. You woman, u ma Model, ma definition of music.
No word can describe how magnificent you are. I feel the cold breeze overwhelming ma superficial layer of the skin with a very cold thin film of moisture whenever the speaker banger uyo meyo is hitting and as well whenever someone calls me coz I tapped it as ma Ringtone.
Much love from UG🇺🇬
