I Love Music

Can Anyone Translate This????...
This is a widely popular SOCA song within the caribbean. it is Suriname derived: remastered and sung by Square One w/ Alison Hines. I am curious as to what the words within this song really mean because not only do I value the music (instrumental part) but also the lyrics are important as well. Trust me u can say alot with lyrics. The name of the song is called " Faluma". It is written & sung in the language known as Sarran Tongo (very Creole derived). If u want 2 listen to it/or see it perform here is the link via Youtube http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1CtquSEDsPg or the original one: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=ST1rmLODyo4 So the words to the song are as follows:
Faluma ding ding ding
Nyama lama ding
Bocaweh genaaaaaa
Capasiah genaaaaaaaaa
Noguweh genaaaaaaaaa
DING DING DING

Nyama lama ding
Bocaweh genaaaaaaa
Capasiah genaaaaaa
Doguweh genaaaaa
Peepoweh genaaaaaaa
DING DING DING
Nyama lama ding

I've also been looking for the english translation. Any of you had any luck? Btw, mapangpang commented that it is not sranan tongo, however alison hinds herself comented that it was in this interview : http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=CaAhGzUDHko
