UYO MEYO by Teni, arr. Daniel Azubuine — Lyrics
About UYO MEYO
"Uyo Meyo" is a vibrant choral arrangement of Teni’s beloved afro-pop anthem, adapted here for four-part harmony by Daniel Azubuine. Blending English, Yoruba, and Edo, the song is a powerful declaration of joy, personal triumph, and gratitude to God. The famous refrain, "Uyo meyo leun Osan," expresses a deep, celebratory thanksgiving that resonates instantly with Nigerian congregations.
Choirs often bring this piece out for special occasions—graduations, youth harvests, end-of-year thanksgivings, or concert performances. The arrangement captures the motivational spirit of the original track, encouraging singers and listeners alike with lines like "Everybody's born a winner" and "work hard you can get it if you want."
Beyond its upbeat tempo, the song carries a heartfelt prayer for progress and divine backing. As the melody soars through petitions to surpass the achievements of one's parents ("Ibiti Daddy mi o de, ma de be") and declarations of God's unending grace ("won ro pe o tan sugbon Olorun so pe o ku"), it lifts the atmosphere, leaving the church filled with hope and celebratory praise.
