The phrase is Brazilian Portuguese for get up, boy Ney, with Ney used as a familiar name or nickname in the clip. Short voice memes like this tend to spread through short-form video edits, where a few seconds of direct, teasing encouragement can be reused across unrelated clips.

That flexibility, plus its instantly recognisable rhythm, helps explain why it keeps appearing in new edits.
