Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Oya
Forget your pains and sorrow
Flexing like no tomorrow
Omuti to gbagbe ise toh dagbegere bori
Olorun ma Jo je tawa
Oya Somebody say ararara (ararara)
Somebody say orororo (orororo)
Somebody say ararara (ararara)
Somebody say orororo (orororo)

The lyrics of Olamide's song Arara seem to be about living life to the fullest without dwelling on past pain and sorrows. The lines "Forget your pains and sorrow, flexing like no tomorrow" suggest that the song is about embracing joy and the present moment. It advises the listener to let go of negative thoughts and focus on enjoying life.


The use of "Omuti to gbagbe ise toh dagbegere bori" is a nod to the Yoruba language and culture, which is where Olamide hails from. It could be interpreted to mean that the struggles of the past are no longer relevant, and it's time to let go and move on. The line "Olorun ma Jo je tawa" is a prayer, asking for God's presence and blessings in the celebration of life.


The repetitive nature of "Somebody say ararara (ararara), somebody say orororo (orororo)" serves as a call and response to the listeners, encouraging them to participate in the celebration of life.
