Alade, Yemi - Duro Timi Lyrics






Duro duro oh
Duro duro oh

It's a heartfelt story
Me and my boo, me and my boo
I tell you say I no wan do
But you already know deep down
That I do, I do

When you call me baby
I say I no want
When I call you daddy
You say you no want
Just because I'm facing my music
Like I send nobody whoaa
But you know deep down in there
There ain't no one that can compare
Why you wanna leave me alone

Baby duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Cos I love you
Duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Timi eey

The other day I felt so weak (I felt so weak weak uhn)
The only thing that could save me was a miracle and that was you (that was you)

Now I call you daddy
You say you no want
And you call me baby
I say I no want
Just because I'm facing my music
Like I send nobody whoaa
But you know deep down in there
There ain't no one that can compare
Why you wanna leave me alone

Baby duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Cos I love you
Duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Timi eey

Ooh my days ain't the same
My nights ain't the same
My life feels so empty since the day that you walked away
No gravity can hold me
Nothing can stop the chemistry
No oh, don't walk away

Why you wanna run away
Tell me why you wanna run away
Why you wanna run away
Tell me why you wanna run away
Don't you know that you are all I got
Why you wanna run away
Don't you know that you are all I got

Baby duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Cos I love you
Duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Timi eey

Baby duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Cos I love you
Duro timi oh
Duro timi oh
Duro timi
Timi eey

Oh duro duro

    She took my back with this song to the 80’s! I love this sounds like pure R&B still has her own twist repping the African sound I love her she is amazing! Her English is great!

    Yes this sound R&B but yet has a different feel at the sametime and really showcases her vocal talent! Phenomenal Sistah can sang! Go head Yemi!

    Your music is so refreshing. Such a nice change. Far better than a lot of the rubbish I have to listen to in the UK. Thank God for Yemi Alade 😘🌹❤

  8. M.... M....

    Why would you want to miss your birthday for having pictures taken of yourself? I would also walk away.. I like her other songs better they're more original also I just wonder why she is wearing that funeral hat

  9. S.... T....

    I'm American and I'm Bi-lingual 🙌🏾. I speak English & Spanish :)! Love having two languages !

  14. S.... T....

    What does duro timi mean?

    S.... T....

  15. T.... R....

    I love this song

  16. m.... m....

  18. L.... ....

    This is my favourite song by her, I appreciate her energy like Beyoncé
    on a live performance DURO TIMI, I don't know what does it mean but I
    like that song

    L.... ....

    it means stay with me

    L.... ....

    @Teminioluwa Obisesan Thank you 

  19. �.... ....

    Very funny Anayah Harris: You are wrong, you would have said "her accent", Yemi is a graduate, and she was a very good student.

    �.... ....

    葉豪 even her accent has been perfect all along when you hear speaking in person...but when doing African music, she's not expected to use American or English accent otherwise her African audience (her main consumers) would be turned off ASAP

  20. M.... K....

    Anayah Harris. Its so sad when I hear Americans make such patronizing statements. " her English is getting good". The advantage Africans have is the option to choose what language we prefer to deliver our message. We are not limited to one language. Majority of us speak perfect English and are highly educated. ( having an accent does not equate to poor dialect or grammar). I really wish that most of you are privileged to experience the liberation that comes with being multi- lingual.

    M.... K....

    🙌🏽 thank you. People need to de colonize their minds

    M.... K....

    Most Americans don't even speak perfect English anyway, especially our brothers from the 'hood. People from England aren't in here judging, so I don't get why Americans are acting like the English language police.

    M.... K....

    I'm a white Spaniard. I love to watch Naija videos in igbo, yoruba and pidgin english. The best music today!

  21. M.... F....

    I love her hair

  22. A.... S....

    sounds great

  23. G.... C....

    It's too stable, smooth, strong and original.

    A.... H....

    A.... H....

    Anayah Harris sorry about that. What your real name. I'm Igbo too. My name native name is Ifeanyi. I can teach you more about Nigeria or Igbo culture if you want.

    A.... H....

    Anayah Harris sorry about that. What's your real name? I'm Igbo too. My name native name is Ifeanyi. I can teach you more about Nigeria or Igbo culture if you want. Really sorry if we make you feel bad. Hit me on [email protected]

  38. h.... s....

    ...then I would've walked right back in the door 5mins later and said, "I forgive you Yemi, but don't flake me like that again!", re-lit those candles and enjoyed our night like i had planned.

  39. L.... K....

  43. A.... M....

    Salut mes bien-aimés sœurs et frères en Christ c'est le pasteur Auriol Mavakala c'est une superbe chanson que le seigneur Jésus-Christ vous remplis de joie et que l'éternelle Dieu vous garde toutes et tous.

  44. E.... E....

    It sounds too americanized for my liking, stick to naija flavour

    E.... E....

    +Eyen Efik there is something called criss-cross rhythms

    E.... E....

    why? I think it's a good thing for her to try taping the US market like Tiwa Savage did before her

  45. M.... S....

    So true being busy can destroy all good things

    Natural hair style is definitively in ... Thank's yemi to show the way #afrohair #soproud

  51. P.... ....

    It would be nice if people don't reply to any Tribalistic comments. It's always obvious that they are on social media just to create fights.

    More especially if it starts with Yoruba this and that.

    Love this Yemi....❤️

    but you speak french
