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

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👐🏽👐🏽
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
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*

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.
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
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...👍🏽👍🏽👍🏽❤❤❤💋💋💋
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 ❤♥💕
😢 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 ❤️
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👊👍
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.
Ondo Language: Uyo meyo leun osan okan mio e Yoruba Translation: Ayo ni moyo lori ohun to dara, ode ti wa kan mi English Translation: I celebrate what is good, not just for me but for others, but now is my turn to celebrate Hit like if that be of help to you
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!

Je suis ivoirienne 🇨🇮 et je ne comprends pas ce qu'elle dit mais sa chanson parle à mon âme. Je n'arrête pas de l'écouter en boucle et je me surprends à pleurer, tellement ça m'emporte! Que Dieu bénisse sa carrière.
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
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! 😢.
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✊🏽❤️
"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✊
Got here from Google Africa: Women will lead, create and inspire. It was my first time seeing Teni and i fell in love with her voice. This is so beautiful and inspiring. Much love from S.A🇿🇦 ❤️❤️
@@onyekachiokeke5713 We don't do such things...the social media app are colinizing us to hate each other...be careful Africans..digital colonization is real
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.
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!!!😢
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 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'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.
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
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🙏
In life there are certain songs that hit you on many different levels, emotions, feelings, motivation etc. This is definitely one of them, this tune is timeless 👏🏾👏🏾👏🏾🇿🇼🇿🇼🇿🇼
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

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.

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 ❤♥💕

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!

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'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 .
Some guy posted the full lyrics meaning 7 months ago.
Cool
Well said, thank you..... #Botswana
This speaks to the African spirit inside me,yet I dnt undrstand her language bt it invokes Africanism n the Zulu spirit in me.
Thenjwayo Mzwakhe 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
I also feel the same way..
On behalf of Nigerians living in diaspora....

Beautiful!!!
Reading comments to understand this song. Wow amazing, thanks for sharing. I’m Dominican-Haitian I love my African background. I will soon visit my ancestors home. Been following some amazing Nigerians and it makes me feel great to see them succeeding. I wanted to see more black people getting blessed and wealthy and you are making it happen. Yes to blessings for all blacks. Is time to rise!!!!🙌🏾
Absolutely!!!!!!!
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!

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.
As an igbo girl this is the only Yoruba pop song I have actually gone to learn the lyrics... Goshhh I love love love this teni girl
Lol it's actually an Ondo folk song.. shout out to teni
Me too
@@morinfifo7573 Yes and Yoruba, glad she remembers folk songs from her side.
@@morinfifo7573 is that different language? 🤣
aareondo hausa or edo@@morinfifo7573
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.
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?
