TENIN

Intro — spoken / ad-libs

Yeah yeah…
Oh na na…
Ayy, ayy…
Kadidiatou…
But everybody knows her as…
TENIN!
Oya!
Let's go!

Couplet 1

Quand Tenin arrive, ça change la vibe,
Tout le monde sourit, everybody alive.
Elle marche doucement, mais elle sait ce qu'elle veut,
Petit regard, gros sourire, ça met le feu.

No wahala, tonight we outside,
Good energy, we don't need to hide.
Elle dit : “On danse”, moi je dis : “Okay”,
DJ turn it up, let's celebrate!

Pré-refrain

Un pas à gauche — hey!
Un pas à droite — hey!
Quand elle bouge comme ça,
Nobody can stay.

Elle dit “encore”,
On dit “encore”!
La nuit est jeune,
So give me more!

REFRAIN — HOOK

Te-niiin! — Oh na na!
Te-niiin! — Eh ya ya!
Move your body, don't stop,
Tenin, take it to the top!

Te-niiin! — Oh na na!
Te-niiin! — Eh ya ya!
Kadidiatou, light it up,
Tenin, baby, turn it up!

Post-refrain — call & response

Tenin!

Tenin!

Who got the vibe?
— TENIN!
Who run the night?
— TENIN!

Couplet 2

Elle n'est pas venue pour faire semblant,
Tonight we celebrate, on profite maintenant.
Les soucis dehors, laisse-les attendre,
Ce soir c'est Tenin, faut la voir descendre.

She got that rhythm, she got that glow,
When she starts dancing, everybody goes:
“Wait, wait, wait… who is that girl?”
Tenin dans la place, she's lighting the world.

Pré-refrain

Un pas à gauche — hey!
Un pas à droite — hey!
Quand elle bouge comme ça,
Nobody can stay.

Elle dit “encore”,
On dit “encore”!
La nuit est jeune,
So give me more!

Oya oya oya!
Eh eh!
Tenin, Tenin!
Yeah yeah!
Shake it, shake it!
Oya!
One time!
Two time!
Tenin!

( Bridge — mélodique)

Et si demain la vie nous éloigne,
Tonight, let this moment be ours.
On garde les rires, on garde les souvenirs,
Good people, good vibes, that's all we desire.

Tenin, don't you ever change,
Keep that light, keep that flame.
Tonight everybody knows your name…
Tenin!

( Break — silence puis reprise )

TENIN!

One more time!

Outro

Kadidiatou…
Tenin…
Tenin…
Yeah…
That's your night.

Modern Nigerian Afrobeat instrumental, 108 BPM, F# minor. Warm, joyful and highly danceable. Groovy melodic bassline, clean African highlife electric guitar, punchy kick, crisp snare, shakers and organic African percussion. Catchy rhythmic guitar riffs, subtle synth chords and light atmospheric textures. Smooth, spacious production with a strong dance groove. Add a soft Amapiano log drum only during the second half and final section. No vocals, no singing, instrumental only. Elegant summer-night party atmosphere, energetic but not aggressive. Strong bass groove, clean drums, catchy guitar melody, modern African pop production, polished studio sound. Build naturally from a simple intro into a powerful dance groove, with a short breakdown before the final section.
