- This video is to help you understand the meaning behind the song Reason by @OmahLay. Afrobeats and West African music may be easier for some to understand when translated and explained. I hope you enjoy!
Refer to the official music video in the following link:
• Omah Lay - reason (Of... - เพลง
I interpreted this letter in another way. What is the reason??
- As if it were a reminder of what our objectives or purposes in life are... what is the reason for not having peace of mind, are we doing what we like or is it for survival. basically I interpret it this way, we have to follow our objectives no matter what the world says, if you are happy and that makes you happy continue .... This is for love or for your own life (Objectives and goals), follow if purpose. I write directly from Mozambique, my name is Zocora, fan of Mr. Eazi. ZaggaDat!
Love this this is nice! Thanks for sharing and LOL at how you signed off 😂
I'm Angolan, my native language is Portuguese, and I'm passionate about languages. I'm also fluent in French and English, but what really excites me is Nigeria. In my opinion, Nigeria stands out as the best African country, and I'm particularly passionate about Afrobeat, which happens to be my favorite music genre.
However, I've been facing some challenges trying to grasp the Pidgin English that everyone uses when singing. 😭
Gradually, I'm starting to familiarize myself with the expressions, but it remains a bit difficult.
So far, I've picked up a few words and phrases like "dey, wey, wahala, don, na, e, fit, no."
I've always been on the lookout for Nigerians who could help me understand even the basics and teach me the Nigerian way of communication, so I can fully grasp everything, but I haven't been able to find someone.
Now that I've come across your channel, I believe it could be another step in the right direction. Thank you very much, and please continue to assist me on this journey.
I read this so many times and it makes me laugh 😂 I love it! Thanks for taking the time to write this out. I love that you know many languages that’s soooo cool!
Those terms you listed are the foundation of many terms in pidgin English so I’m happy you have those down. I know many people get confused on “na” a lot so I try to break it down in my videos but I do forget at times. I’ll try my best to continue breaking it down and hopefully you are able to learn a lot 🙂
Lovely, nigerian pidgin is the best
we are together in this, am a kenyan
I’m understanding it bigger than just love thing
From my own perspective I don't think it's a love song per say but he's addressing a close friend , relative or even ex lover someone he has ties with but acts like a form of obstacle to his progress.
Ooh good analysis. Thanks for sharing
Omah is too deep 🥺🥺🔥🔥
Yes!!
You are doing God's work... you are giving meaning to my afrobeat explore
Lol amen thank you 🙂
Hi
This is a nice contribution to afrobeat.
I on the other end changed the whole lyrics into an awareness visualiser on Malaria.
That’s a nice take and I know people have others. Thanks for sharing!
I go like meet u one day🇳🇬❤️😩
Okay 🙂
My Goddess Simbihwat never disappoints. Big ups for the good work.
I'm looking forward to "lonely at the top" by Asake.
I know u will never disappoint ❤❤❤
Thank you! Will add to my list. Currently working on other songs outside of Work of Art 🙂
You really be doing a good job ma! Second song I've come for interpretation from you, love your work🎉🎉🎉🎉🎉- keep at it
Thank you so much!! Will do 🙂
Continue what you doing it help us a lot ❤🔥
Omah Lay ❣️❣️❣️❣️
🙂
I love your energy
Thank you!
To me omah lay is talking about Nigeria
Every song is not about a woman.... This song is beyond just a woman... It's a philosophical transition into the meaning of life...
Thanks for sharing
@@simbihawt thanks, I apologize if I sounded rude... I'm just trying to bring a different perspective, but your views are really intelligent
@@adejogeorgefebian3411 Thank you. Yes, I always welcome and highly appreciate when people share new and different perspectives 🙂
I don't think its a love song. Its a deeper reflective song about life, lifes purpose, surrendering to a higher power. something like that. I could be wrong but i dont think its a teenage love song
Hi, I like these perspectives too. Thanks for sharing and Ezra is a nice name.
I also understand that. It’s something else. Life struggles…
My G please
unrelated, but you're an incredibly beautiful woman
Woke up this morning to this 🙂 thank you 🤎
Please do guy man by ladipoe ft Bella shmurda
Hi I will listen to the song and add to my request list 🙂
wow you try in your translation of this song but I'd never seen this song simply as a love song about a woman, but i see it as a song you can generalize to every human out there, to every relationship be it between friends or a woman as you explained.
Omah lay is a poet, so his words can really only be explained by him, .
He is voicing out his insecurities in keeping relationships, he is frustrated by heartbreaks not only from a woman but even those he called friends.
There are alot to say About this short song even more than most songs with much lyrics
Thanks for sharing your take! Very true that this song has several layers to it depending how you look at it
Is it really like that? Nothing would ever tell me that he is talking about love.
I would tell he is talking about spiritual things.
Or even about being swamped with a lot of work in society. Like a man who works a lot and never has time for other things.
Thanks for your input and no I can never say I am 100% right. I always mention in the video that only the song writer knows the true meaning of a song. That’s the beauty of music so you may be correct and I’m wrong but that how I understand the song. I’m always interested in learning new perspectives so I appreciate when you all leave comments 🙂
That shekeleke thing you did was incredible, unbelievable and impossible to interpret in that way. You really killed it.
Make a nigga suit and tie.
Let him fly like you.
How could anybody know that that suit has something to do with the white?😂 You rock it!
Btw what does "Let him fly like you" would ever mean in that context?
😂😂 thanks !!
Since he said chekele which is white and flies in nature being a bird, I think he played with the bridal aspect and then also the capabilities of the bird. I see the lady as being a bit more carefree and not as serious as Omah Lay in this song so it’s like let me fly like you- let me too be free and relaxed and untroubled.
Or maybe let’s get married and I know we can fly together/excel? Can be many things
Thank you 👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽
Any time! 🙂
@@simbihawt is it possible to add Crayon Ngozi feat Ayrastarr and Yemi Slade Ire Ore (Fake Friends) to the list. 😁 I blame Ayra Starr for getting me to learn pidgin. Lol 😹
@@dresslikeayra lolll yes sure added 🙂
Yawa - FireBoy DML please!
Hi I will add this to my request list 🙂
Can you please do abracadabra remix? 🙏🏾 I’d like to know what wizkid said and what the hook mean. Keep up the good work 👍🏽
Thank you. I will add this to my request list
Can we please have a translation of Bend You by Omah Lay please please
Hi, I will pass on translating this song however the main message is he is discussing his process of romancing with a lady. Look at the lyrics and let me know if there is a specific part you don’t understand and I can help 🙂
❤
🤎🫶🏾
Cam you do whats up my G next?
Will put on my request list! I did a few songs from Work of Art but switched over to do other new releases
🔥🔥🔥
🔥🔥🔥
Thanks ❤
Can we have the translation of Soso of Omah Ley
Many people said it’s a mystical song cause Soso is a spirit of the sea in Nigeria 🇳🇬
Is that true?
Hi, see the link below and be sure to read comments. You will see several points of view and that’s the beauty of music. I explained the translation based on what Omah Lay said in a few interviews. Since he’s the song writer, I have to take his word. Enjoy!

Eberechi why ? 😊
I don’t understand
Yours by omah lay 😅😅😅😅😅
I will add to my request list
What if it about our country Nigeria.
I’m not the song writer so I can never disagree 🙂
What language does omah lay speak?
I don’t know what language he speaks from the tribe that he is from. The songs of his that I know, he usually speaks using English language, Nigerian slang and Nigerian Pidgin English.
Unrelated analysis... You tried... It has nothing to do with any girl...
Okay, thank you
Hey babe, absolutely love this channel, your work is bomb 🥳🔥🔥… please do highness by s-smart next🤍thank you.
Thank you!! I did a short explanation of this song’s chorus last year on my tiktok: www.tiktok.com/t/ZT8R9bVJt/
It’s a lot lol so didn’t want to translate on my TH-cam but this should give you the overall meaning of what the song is about 🙂
@@simbihawt I appreciate you so much😭🤍🤍🤍🤍
Lolll 🤎🤎🤎
