My mum is ondo, and words can't describe how satisfying this video is to me. Watching this videos is one of the best things that has happened to me on TH-cam. To see a lady speak my mum's dialect so well, and speak Yoruba so well, and then to speak English like this.... I mean... I'm blown away
Awwww...I am so glad and grateful for the privilege of adding some sunshine to your day🤗 My regards to your Mom🙏🏾 If you can tell her I said "Gbóìjà o, Yei." or just simple "Lẹ o, Yei." will do😊
I was close to tears when I first heard the song without knowing the meaning. Now I know why I felt that way. Teni nailed this piece y'all. Much Love! 😊✌👌
Im. Ghanaian and i absolutely love it. Teni introduced me to it as she sat in a car singing it in August 2018 on her graduation, i had no choice but to dig for the meaning then. Now im learning the lyrics word for word. Oooohhh I love it😊😍💕👌🏾✌🏾🙏🏾👍🏾
Aww..I'm glad to hear you can now really enjoy the song. Not sure which part of Ghana you're from, I was going to say "E ti senhi(sp?) Thank you for your feedback 😊
Same here ooo. I’m Ghanaian 🇬🇭 too and loved this song ever since she sang on her graduation day. This song speaks a lot to me knowing what the lyrics means now

Am partly Edo & Ondo I sincerely love the song the tune Makes me very emotional when listening. Thanks dearie for putting more light on the true meaning of the song.😍💞
Am Edo and my hubby is Ondo. So my children are like you mixed . Best mix... my daughter introduced me to Teni's music. I love her music so much. Nice vocals. Just she is underrated. Well done . Proudly iyawo ondo for life!
I'm just sitting here, thinking critically and lost wondering: "who clicked on the 'dislike' button though?" Some humans are just undeniably bitter and sad!
My dear, thank you for the love. Let's focus on the good n positive. Have an awesome week ahead. PS: I'd greatly appreciate it if you'd Share this with others.
Thank you so so much for this. You nailed the translation. I'm South African and the first time I heard the song, it did exactly that... nourish me. I didn't even understand the lyrics.
Lovely!. Its funny i am of Ondo origin and found the words so familiar but just couldn't grasp the meaning. Asked some people they grappled around its meaning but deep down i knew they didn't do it justice. Your explanation makes lot of sense. Thanks.
I am South African and can't stop playing. Lifts my spirit always. My six year old is now addicted too....requesting for a replay always. Well done Teni.
Ekimogun super star,Teni,I'm proud of you for this great release in a super version way.Ondo dialect song in a phenomenon package.Your star will not suddenly disappear.Your sun will not set. Keep on moving.It is your time.
am a Ghanaian born but raised in nigeria and now living in Ghana.i thought i was the only one that gets emotional anytime i sing this song tho. i love the song so much that i sing it every morning just to motivate me throughout the day ❤
I got goosebumps listening to you translate the song. Such a beautiful soul touching song. Thank you so much, I'm brought to tears with the translation.
God bless you sis, am a Lagos raced Ondo man and I just love that song not knowing she actually sang the part I like most in my own dialect. I stumble on this video and u unwrap the mystery. Thank you
Thank you.... Wish I could like this video 1000 times! It is so good to hear a sister who can hold hers in our native language and Geesi! Mind blowing! I can't even speak my native Egba!
Oh wow, I'm from Ondo State but still learning my language. This beats me, that I was asking my wife what language Teni spoke in the song, unknown that it is my dialect. I'm gonna go play this song to my mum to listen because she speaks ondo well. Thanks for the awesome translation. God bless you real good.
Music is a beautiful thing. I don't speack her language but man the first time I listen to it.!!!!!!! I already feel the joy and happiness. Swing nyself reaching my goals. Now you telling me that what she is singing about?! Pdfffd the soul is powerful. Congrats she deserve all goodness
You are so right. Music is a beautiful thing...and it transcends ALL languages. Glad to hear you enjoyed it. All the best with reaching and exceeding your goals ;)
I wish I could give you a 1.000,000,000, thumbs up 👍🏾 sister, I have been playing this song for well over a year now and as Ghanaian, never understood a word in the song . Nevertheless, down in my bone I need she was saying something inspirational. 🇬🇭 🇬🇭 🇬🇭
Awww my brother, I really wish I could hug you right now. Your words are too kind and touch me deeply. Music is such a universal language and I'm glad we could share this without the limitations of boundaries. #onelove :)
@Her Gist, thanks for this. My late Ondo grandmother, Chief (Mrs.) Grace Ajibabi Akinkugbe (1907-2008) would have surely known and loved this folk song. However the song I remember mostly from her was "Gb'Ope mi Oluwa" covered as "Ikira" by Lagbaja. What a wonderful cultural heritage we have!
I love this video! Thank you for breaking it down. You’re right even when I didn’t understand the words, there was this sense of connection. Thanks again for doing this.
Thank you very much, i' m South African , the song gives me goose bumps everytime i' m playing it, but didn't understand what she was saying, thank you for this video 👌👌
@@poweifoh5483 Ah, of course na abeg let @Seyi classic root for the culture o. My dear if we don't toot the horn for our heritage no one will👌🏾 I even talked about it on my BBC News Yoruba spot: th-cam.com/video/Jcx0P1LaByM/w-d-xo.html
I’m from America. I don’t understand and don’t speak the language, but your experience of joy over the lyrics made me go and purchase the song from ITunes. While I don’t understand ever word, you explained the meaning behind the message and it made me fall in love with it. When people ask what is this song about, I can explain what you said. Thank you❤️
Oh my goodness, your comment got me all ooey gooey inside❤️. I'm so happy to hear that I helped you better enjoy this gem of a song. Thank you. Be sure to Share. Have an awesome week ahead 🤗
One love my brother :) Glad to be of help, it's such a wonderful piece. Still listened to it this as recent as this morning. Soulful. Thanks for watching and taking the time to drop your comment. Stay well :)

You earned a subscriber.. Africa is connected through our various art forms. There is some ancestral vibrational power in that song. Don't let them tell you, you can't, just keep on pushing....
I've said this so many times, but it's the truth "I'm glad." It truly makes me happy that i can be of help with this translation. The song is so moving and I just wanted people to capture its core meaning so they can experience what I experience. Thank you for your feedback😊🤗
I actually don't understand the vibes earlier but I trust must be reasonable meaning though.. can't just stop listening to it just because songs was meaningful and lovely.. Keep it up Teni Be consistent at all times
Oh dear..! I cover my face o.. Lols @HER GiST .. U beat me silly with this dialect .. Its so smooth... I just looove u @Teni is great.. I wish her many more ground breaking achievements...
Rashidondo,I would like to a very big thanks to you for that explanation xos I've been trying to get the translation.I'm from irele but my parent did not introduced our hone town to us early in life.Now the point, I wept when I heard that song especially where she said "They thought it was over for me but God said otherwise" Teni thanks for this awesome song .
It really does. And you totally should do a CHEWA remix, please tag me when you do. Music is the language of the spirit, and it's an absolute pleasure helping you get more of the meaning.
Lol...same here it's been on replay since last year for me. Almost made it my ringtone n then my kids gave side eyes like 'Really' I ask "Is it your ringtone that I'm ringing?" 😏
Your switch to Yoruba is seamless and awesome. No I want to learn Yoruba with this your voice. So don't tell me I can't do it and I know you won't not want to tell me how to do it. Cos we are all getting started. Cheers
Thank you so so so so much for this!! I just recently discovered this song and fell in love! I don’t speak the language, but I just new the song had a beautiful meaning. My fave part that you explained was towards the end. It’s facts, God is just getting started 💗🙏🏾
Awesome! You did a marvelous job. That song hits me in my core. Initially i thought it could be any of these...... Ikale, Ilaje, Itsekiri or Ondo. Thanks for shedding more lights on the lyrics and its origin. Le o Yein, wa da'ugbo!
After watching this, I had to subscribe to your channel and even turned the notification button on. Thanks for this. You gave the answers to the question my niece just asked me a few days ago. And to think that I stumbled upon this is just so amazing. Just got yourself a new fan; plus I enjoyed the harmonious transition from Basic Yoruba to Ondo (I think) and then to the Western-flavored English Thank you.
Awww...I am so humbled and glad by your comment, om ye mi 🤗. So happy to be of help. Welcome, Welcome!!!🤗😊 Please feel free to Share with friends and family too. More videos on the way.
Thank you so much!!! I danced around for an hour last night with my 18 month old granddaughter to this amazing song!!! The joy that her and I felt, it was perfect!! I appreciate you helping me to have a better understanding of such a powerful and significant song! I found out that my maternal side is Igbo, Nigerian. Last year I had a dream that I was in Africa and this beautiful woman named Oya called me. I don't understand it all or why this has happened. All I know is I want to learn and understand!!!
Awww..oh my heart! Your feedback is just too cute for words. Thank you so much for sharing this. My love to granddaughter and I'm so glad I was able to help. As for your dream, might be a good time to go visit 'home'😘 All the best🤗 Thanks again. And please do share.
I love Teni ola. Her dad is ekiti and her mum is ondo.. She picked from her mum that’s so good of her. My dads state is different from my mum. I wish I can speak both languages but I can’t poor me
And I’m so impressed because you know how it is if you intermarry... the children and everyone else just forgets that the child has an entire culture from the mothers side. I’m so glad she did this. She is an APATA child but acknowledges the history of the woman who carried her into this world
You are clear, fluent and undeniably a gifted speaker. Signs of a great training and background. Thank you for the Uyo Meyo explanation too although I seemed to love the mysterious quests it threw my mind into for lack of understanding of the words. The gift of a song communicated, even without direct understanding.
This is absolutely awesome! However, the way the translation is put (i.e. From Ondo to Yoruba, to ...) may quickly give the impression (especially to non-Nigerians) that Ondo is something different from Yoruba. The reality is actually that the original language here (from which the translation is been made) is a dialect of the Yoruba language. So, the translation actually goes from the Ondo-Yoruba dialect, to the Eko-Yoruba dialect (which is obviously more widespread), and to the "gbongilishi" lol
Hiiii...I actually know an Oluwatuyi family, in Àkúrẹ́ where I grew up. Thanks for your comment😊 Please feel free to Share. Have an awesome week ahead🤗
I love this song over board, i am OKUN and honestly they should have moved us with Ondo peeps, we have no business in Kogi state, cause i can relate my dialet with the Ondo intonation. Thumbs up Teni. My new ring tone
I am from Ondo State and I understand everything she said right in the music, when I was young I use to listen to the original one sing by Comfort Omoge.
The first time heard this song in fact I don't know how I felt though I don't know what it means but the tune and the sound is just wonderful. I really love all her music she has a wonderful voice.
I hear you, glad you enjoyed it. That's the power of good music, hope the translation helped you to better soak up the meaning. This is one of Teni's best in my opinion. Have a good one.
@@oludolapoadewale5260 Oh waow, thank you. I'll definitely be giving on airwaves work some more thoughts then. And I have a wonderful resource in you, I hope😘
@HER GiST, Yes o! You can count on that. But i dey afraid make your American accent no scatter studio microphone o!. Lol. Maybe you can switch to BBC standard English and spark, sorry spike, sorry spank, sorry speak like the Queen. Haaaaa! I'm a broadcaster based in your state- Ondo! Lovely state! But sha o, i rep Ekiti. I see Teni as an "half-caste" girl (Ekiti-Ondo combo) lol.
We have 17 demons dat are sad !! And i mean soo sad from the pit of Hell that disliked this video.... Dats to prove that no matter what u do "" not every1 would support you..i know soon more of them would join...nevermind "" good always win.. God bless you ma for taking yur time to enjoy and translate this song...ur joy is always affecting me..
Awww...thank you so much for this uplifting message🤗 It means so much. You're so right "Good will always win." And your beautiful words are part of OUR win. Have a fruitful day and week ahead😊
The very first time I listened to the piece, I was like, that sounds like my Dad talking, a resounding indiginous Ondo phrase, oh dear, I knew there was a lot about it, then I searched on Google, I was like that's my language, although born in the North, raised in ibadan, now in England, I was so overjoyed. She nailed it, I concur! Hot tears ran down my cheek whilst cruising, brought to me the very sweet memories of my late Dad.... Nelly sun re ooo!
Awwww I can imagine....sending you loving hugs🤗 This was one of my late Mom, Iy'Ashidat's favorite songs too, still miss her so much. May God rest their souls😊❤

Rashidondo,I would like to a very big thanks to you for that explanation xos I've been trying to get the translation.I'm from irele but my parent did not introduced our hone town to us early in life.Now the point, I wept when I heard that song especially where she said "They thought it was over for me but God said otherwise" Teni thanks for this awesome song .
You're so welcome! I'm glad to be of help😊🤗
THANK YOU. My song throughout this 2019 and beyond. Spiritually cleansing tune🙏🏽🙏🏽
You're very welcome :) Yup, my mantra too.
Thank you for the translation. Uyo Meyo touches my soul. By God's Grace I will do a CHEWA remix. Peace and love from Zambia.
It really does. And you totally should do a CHEWA remix, please tag me when you do. Music is the language of the spirit, and it's an absolute pleasure helping you get more of the meaning.
I heard it last night, its been on replay since and im just getting started. Help me enjoy this piece of happiness I just found. UYO MEYO
Lol...same here it's been on replay since last year for me. Almost made it my ringtone n then my kids gave side eyes like 'Really'
I ask "Is it your ringtone that I'm ringing?" 😏
Awesome @HER GiST "I celebrated the goodness and joy in others, its now my turn to be celebrated or celebrate with me'' 👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏
I like you
Your smile !!!!!!!, so beautiful
Awww...Thank you😊
@@HERGist you r sooo beautiful, now i love the song even better.
Your switch to Yoruba is seamless and awesome. No I want to learn Yoruba with this your voice.
So don't tell me I can't do it and I know you won't not want to tell me how to do it. Cos we are all getting started.
Cheers
Thank you so so so so much for this!! I just recently discovered this song and fell in love! I don’t speak the language, but I just new the song had a beautiful meaning. My fave part that you explained was towards the end. It’s facts, God is just getting started 💗🙏🏾
He truly is just getting started. You're most welcome and I'm happy to hear that I was able to be of help🤗
Ondon people 📷 who need great song of the mind and thanks ma for the translation for us lost yoruba
You're most welcome🤗
Awesome! You did a marvelous job. That song hits me in my core. Initially i thought it could be any of these...... Ikale, Ilaje, Itsekiri or Ondo. Thanks for shedding more lights on the lyrics and its origin. Le o Yein, wa da'ugbo!
Aşę o, o dęn a s'oju ęmi ę🤲🏾
Thank you for the beautiful prayer. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.
Jor egin wo ma ba mi SHARE/TAG ę o😍
I find that song to be so spiritually charged yet I didn't understand but now i know why. Thank you.
Oh great! Now you get the meaning, I'm sure it changes the experience for you. I'm glad🤗 Enjoy. And please Share.
After watching this, I had to subscribe to your channel and even turned the notification button on. Thanks for this. You gave the answers to the question my niece just asked me a few days ago. And to think that I stumbled upon this is just so amazing.
Just got yourself a new fan; plus I enjoyed the harmonious transition from Basic Yoruba to Ondo (I think) and then to the Western-flavored English
Thank you.
Awww...I am so humbled and glad by your comment, om ye mi 🤗. So happy to be of help. Welcome, Welcome!!!🤗😊 Please feel free to Share with friends and family too. More videos on the way.
I really love that song. Is very meaningful and powerful. Thank for your explanation.
My pleasure. Thanks for watching :)
Thank you so much!!! I danced around for an hour last night with my 18 month old granddaughter to this amazing song!!! The joy that her and I felt, it was perfect!! I appreciate you helping me to have a better understanding of such a powerful and significant song! I found out that my maternal side is Igbo, Nigerian.
Last year I had a dream that I was in Africa and this beautiful woman named Oya called me. I don't understand it all or why this has happened. All I know is I want to learn and understand!!!
Awww..oh my heart! Your feedback is just too cute for words. Thank you so much for sharing this. My love to granddaughter and I'm so glad I was able to help.
As for your dream, might be a good time to go visit 'home'😘
All the best🤗 Thanks again. And please do share.
@@HERGist Thank you so much for your encouraging words!!!
@@DAUGHTHEROFZION You're most welcome 😊
Teni. Proudly ekiti kete.
I love Teni ola. Her dad is ekiti and her mum is ondo.. She picked from her mum that’s so good of her. My dads state is different from my mum. I wish I can speak both languages but I can’t poor me
And I’m so impressed because you know how it is if you intermarry... the children and everyone else just forgets that the child has an entire culture from the mothers side. I’m so glad she did this. She is an APATA child but acknowledges the history of the woman who carried her into this world
You are clear, fluent and undeniably a gifted speaker. Signs of a great training and background. Thank you for the Uyo Meyo explanation too although I seemed to love the mysterious quests it threw my mind into for lack of understanding of the words. The gift of a song communicated, even without direct understanding.
Thank you so much. And yes, the song goes beyond the lyrics. Teni did an awesome job.
I love dis song already congratulations to ur soundcity award much love teni
Shoot. Your language switch is 🔥. I’ve been soaking in on the song. Now I get to know it’s meaning in entirety. How cool is that?! Thank you 👌
Lol...Thanks so much for the kind words. I'm so glad you enjoyed it.🤗 Please feel free to Share.
This is absolutely awesome!
However, the way the translation is put (i.e. From Ondo to Yoruba, to ...) may quickly give the impression (especially to non-Nigerians) that Ondo is something different from Yoruba.
The reality is actually that the original language here (from which the translation is been made) is a dialect of the Yoruba language.
So, the translation actually goes from the Ondo-Yoruba dialect, to the Eko-Yoruba dialect (which is obviously more widespread), and to the "gbongilishi" lol
Thanks for your awesome feedback, especially the input per Ondo n Yoruba😉 And glad you enjoyed the clip. Cheers😊
Waow, I really love how you speak the ondo dialect with so much passion, all twisted and sweet. God bless you and Teni
Much appreciated :)
awesome, fluent in English and very fluent in Yoruba too!
Beautiful voice , you're doing exactly what God wants you to do ..
She sure is 😊
Proudly Ondo girl 👧🏾 here... I love love the song. ♥
Lẹ o, om yè miiii🤗❤️
Ever green song... Much Love Teni...
Gosh how did this girl get this song I can't over this song I sing it every day
Hiiii...I actually know an Oluwatuyi family, in Àkúrẹ́ where I grew up. Thanks for your comment😊 Please feel free to Share. Have an awesome week ahead🤗

I love the way you switch from ondo to englishhhhhh. Teni representing for us. 🙌🏾
Thank you much! Yes o, Tẹ́ní showcasing Oǹdó to the world🙌🏾
Wow thanks for the translation I just love the song so much and been struggling to get the translation
Absolutely a pleasure. I'm glad to be of some help. You're right the song is so beautiful.
I'd greatly appreciate a Share or two. Cheers :)
I love this song over board, i am OKUN and honestly they should have moved us with Ondo peeps, we have no business in Kogi state, cause i can relate my dialet with the Ondo intonation. Thumbs up Teni. My new ring tone
I so much love this song uyo meyo. More knowledge teni. Higher u I pray
It’s a beautiful song and her voice is so soulful
Totally agree!
Thank you! I’m American but originally from Zimbabwe, so I never understood the words to this song. 🙏🏾
My pleasure and I'm happy I was able to help you experience the song even better. Hugs. Enjoy the rest of your week 😊

Thank You! And you too, egin😊🤗
Loll every ondo person mom sings this song around the house lol yes at the nostalgia lol...thank u teni for putting us on the map!
I am from Ondo State and I understand everything she said right in the music, when I was young I use to listen to the original one sing by Comfort Omoge.
Thanks so much for the feedback. The tune was a favorite with my Granny.
Glad you enjoyed it.
Do Share 🤗
The first time heard this song in fact I don't know how I felt though I don't know what it means but the tune and the sound is just wonderful. I really love all her music she has a wonderful voice.
I hear you, glad you enjoyed it. That's the power of good music, hope the translation helped you to better soak up the meaning. This is one of Teni's best in my opinion. Have a good one.
Of course this song is a legend
I don't know you but I could swear you are a radio personality. Nice one.
Really? I have appeared as a guest a few times on radio stations. Maybe I should look into that ;)
Let her go for that, that's her calling
HER GiST Yes, i agree. As a broadcaster myself, I think you should do radio! Your voice is like frosty cake, delicious!!! God bless you sis.
@@oludolapoadewale5260 Oh waow, thank you. I'll definitely be giving on airwaves work some more thoughts then. And I have a wonderful resource in you, I hope😘
@HER GiST, Yes o! You can count on that. But i dey afraid make your American accent no scatter studio microphone o!. Lol. Maybe you can switch to BBC standard English and spark, sorry spike, sorry spank, sorry speak like the Queen. Haaaaa!
I'm a broadcaster based in your state- Ondo! Lovely state! But sha o, i rep Ekiti. I see Teni as an "half-caste" girl (Ekiti-Ondo combo) lol.
We have 17 demons dat are sad !! And i mean soo sad from the pit of Hell that disliked this video.... Dats to prove that no matter what u do "" not every1 would support you..i know soon more of them would join...nevermind "" good always win.. God bless you ma for taking yur time to enjoy and translate this song...ur joy is always affecting me..
Awww...thank you so much for this uplifting message🤗 It means so much. You're so right "Good will always win." And your beautiful words are part of OUR win. Have a fruitful day and week ahead😊
The demons are 22 now.Good things can never look good in the eyes of an evil person.
The very first time I listened to the piece, I was like, that sounds like my Dad talking, a resounding indiginous Ondo phrase, oh dear, I knew there was a lot about it, then I searched on Google, I was like that's my language, although born in the North, raised in ibadan, now in England, I was so overjoyed. She nailed it, I concur! Hot tears ran down my cheek whilst cruising, brought to me the very sweet memories of my late Dad.... Nelly sun re ooo!
Awwww I can imagine....sending you loving hugs🤗
This was one of my late Mom, Iy'Ashidat's favorite songs too, still miss her so much. May God rest their souls😊❤
