Lol niceee. I went back to listen and ah, it's hard. I kind of hear both oloyin and olorin. In the music video the way her mouth moves though looks more like "yin" than "rin." I will pin your comment and see if anyone else wants to add. 😅 maybe I will stand up and dance one day lol
@@chinonsofrancis6359 Sadly not really famous.. So I always try to tell my friends Nigerian songs are really great 😭 make a playlist and translate too..
Hey, how are you? Trust me, I completely understand. Send me some songs so I can help. I do have a lot of requests in line so if you can give me some time that would be great. Let me know 🙂
loved the time u took to translate.......yes am Awolo type girl.......grew up in his music time.......the night club was ours with that song......Will take off 👠 and dance till day light.

Good try and thanks for helping lots of people connect with the the depht of Afrobeats. Regarding the "Padi jo se se pele oo" line, the contextual meaning is not "sorry". Yes, "pele" ordinarily means "sorry". However, when we say "Se pele" in Yoruba, it means "be careful", "take things easy" and/or "be cautious". "Se pele" wouldn't also have anything to do with being hurt or wounded. Well done sis, great video.
Thank you for the in depth but quick explanations!! Now I can enjoy the song even more 😂 I’m looking forward (as you’ve mentioned in other comments) to when you feature some Igbo songs in upcoming videos 🙌🏾
Hey! Thanks for the compliment ☺️. I am uploading Game Changer by Flavour this weekend and I tried my bestttt lol but I’m sure people will help out in the comments. Are you igbo?
@@simbihawt yes that’s great! I am Igbo, but don’t know more than “kedu” & “adi m mma” (hello/ how are you ; I’m fine ) hope to learn more and connect with other Igbo speakers 😊
Niceeee! I’m happy you’re here lol and okay that will be cool. I have connected with an Igbo man here (reached out via Instagram) and he was so kind. We’re still growing so hopefully soon you can begin to connect more
Thanks so much. I really like this song and wanted some of it translated because I am very careful about what I add to my collection. This was very helpful! Subscribed
Hi, good morning! I'm writing from Brazil. Thank you for helping us to understand the meaning of the song. I have a question. How is this specific rhythm called? I know it's afrobeat, but the beat is very specific and I think I've heard it before and I would like to know the specific name of it. Thank you!😘
Hey!! Much love to Brazil 🤎 and you are welcome. I am not sure but now I’m interested to know too. I tried to look it up but did not see anything! If I run across something I will be sure to let you know
It was sampled from an old mapouka rhythm. Mapouka rhythms are the ancestors of modern Cuban and Brazilian rhythms, which is why it probably sounds familiar to you.
In pigin language Sabi means to know and it is borrowed from the Portuguese language where it also means to know. Lagos is also a Portuguese world that means port.
You are the second person to tell me this. That is soooo cool to know. I have always wondered why there is a city in Portugal called Lagos! That has always thrown me off
I must be the only one that didn’t know the connection. I have a friend here from Angola and she speaks Portuguese (since they were colonized by them) but I didn’t know Nigeria had ties to them as well. I schooled in Nigeria for a bit but I never took a history class. Do they teach this in school or do people just know?
@@simbihawt I'm not sure that they teach it but we have a deep history with Portugal from a few centuries ago and even Brazil as well. I think the Portuguese were the first Europeans to arrive in what's today's Lagos and engaged in trade with the locals.
There’s no word to say thanks to you. Because my kids are American speaking and they love that song but I was scared about the words they used in that song don’t know the meaning. Now I feel safe. Thanks again 😊
Sweetheart I love how you explain but this artist and yuroba slang you you need fto explain some implied naughtiness in some of her songs....did you translate rush ,or Yoga song, lol pls ...sabi, it means wise but it can also mean in a naughty way ..but good job!!! Best channel
Looool at implied naughtiness okay okay I will try. You are funny lol...but wait where is the naughtiness in this song? I want to understand from your point of view. All I hear is Ayra flexing throughout the song as in nobody can check her....Yes I translated Rush and Yoga but no naughtiness from me there either 😂....Thank you sooo much. Your comment made me laugh. Rush: ua-cam.com/video/pnt7QbipX-0/v-deo.html Yoga: ua-cam.com/video/BTkMZNGfoZ8/v-deo.html
Awww that song’s melody is sooo sweet. It’s Igbo language (as you know I’m from the Yoruba tribe from your other comment) so I don’t understand the words. However I will add this to my list and try to get some help. I have one other igbo song that someone requested titled Game Changer by Flavour that I’m working on as well 🙂
Omgosh lol thank youuu I didn’t know. I believe Obianuju is an igbo name? So I incorrectly assumed he is speaking igbo and with the “asa nwa baby.” Appreciate you for clarifying and the compliment🥰
People have started to tell me this on other comments. I had no idea. Do they teach this in history classes in Nigeria? I have always wondered why there is a place called Lagos, Portugal but I never considered this
"Dem say i dey go cele"- i think i disagree with your interpretation. Cele is a short way of saying celebrity, "i dey go" can also mean to become. So "dem say i dey go cele" can mean, "they say i have become a celebrity".
Hey, Okay okay thanks for sharing your interpretation! I’ve only considered “I dey go” as referencing a location or where you can replace “I am going to ” and never used it as a status…for status or becoming something I usually think of “I go dey” vs “I dey go” but now I am confusing myself by even typing this out lol….but thanks again. When used like that I can see your point 🙂
🙌🙌🙌
Oloyin or Olorin ? I don't know.
Stand and dance someday.😊
Lol niceee. I went back to listen and ah, it's hard. I kind of hear both oloyin and olorin. In the music video the way her mouth moves though looks more like "yin" than "rin." I will pin your comment and see if anyone else wants to add.

I have to listen to understand what she said. you are right :Oloyin.
Thanks for checking🙂
Umm I am sure it's olorin means singer
Lol hopefully she will do an interview or something and tell us soon
This is awesome. I memorized the lyrics but then got tired of singing them without knowing what she's saying. Thanks!
😂 I definitely understand because this is me with South African music lol you're welcome!!
Sending thanks and love from South Korea 🥺 I really enjoy Nigerian songs but understanding the whole song has been always difficult thing to me

Ikwerre and Igbo are kin languages, though. So some names overlap. Lots of Ikwerre have names that are also Igbo.

Wooow interesting 👍✅… that’s great of you tho 👌💯❤️

For years i thought Sabi was only a Cameroonian slang till I started hearing Ayra saying it. We're one
What's the name of that plant you have behind you? Here in Brazil we call it Espada de Ogum (Ogun's sword).
Oguns sword? I have to check the name out and the origin of why it was named that….here in America it’s called snake plant
Jesu ❤
Thanks 🙂🤎
Thanks❤️
You’re welcome 🤎
Sabi also means to know in Suriname 🇸🇷
Whoa, that’s so cool to know. Thank you for sharing that information. Much love to Suriname 🇸🇷🤎
It's a Portuguese loan word that got introduced into South Western Nigeria during the slave trade.
It's derived from Portuguese. Even in Spanish the verb saber means to know.
People have started to tell me this on other comments. I had no idea. Do they teach this in history classes in Nigeria? I have always wondered why there is a place called Lagos, Portugal but I never considered this
