This video is to help you understand the meaning behind the song Sability by @ayrastarrofficial. Afrobeats and West African music may be easier for some to understand when translated and explained. I hope you enjoy!

OMG I looooove this! Thank you soooo much! โค
Hi Simbi, I appreciate you for this. Thanks a whole lot.
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.
Thank you. I appreciate this song even more now that youโve explained and broken it down. Thank you.
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
Thank you! I am Haitian American and I need translations for so many of my favorite songs. I don't want God to frown at everything I listen too.

You've just gained a new subscriber, i've always wanted someone to break down afrobeats songs for me. S/o to you!
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!๐
Wooow interesting ๐โ โฆ thatโs great of you tho ๐๐ฏโค๏ธ
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 ๐ and dance till day light.
Thank you for 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".
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.
found this interesting…..thank you.. i have subscribed instantly ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ๐ฅฐ

Thereโs 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 donโt know the meaning. Now I feel safe. Thanks again ๐
