These terms cover the use of Yorùbá Lyrics, a crowdsourced archive of Yorùbá song transcripts and translations run by the Yorùbá Names Lexicography Initiative, a registered non-profit in Nigeria. By using the site you accept them.
Accounts & Contributing
Reading needs no account. To contribute, sign in with your email or contributor credentials. Submit only transcriptions, translations and notes that you made yourself. Do not paste in work copied from another lyrics site or published translation.
Song lyrics and rights holders
Songs in the public domain, traditional songs, and songs whose rights holders have agreed are published in full. Other commercial songs appear under licence with rights holders or their agents.
If you own rights to a song and want it removed, corrected or credited differently, write to project@yorubaname.com with the song title, artist, and proof of rights. We act promptly on well-founded requests.
Conduct
Do not vandalise songs, submit spam, or harass contributors. Disagreements about translations belong in the line notes or alternative translation proposals.
