These lyrics are actually a chant sung by the alien Ewok race in the Star Wars film franchise. The Ewoks are introduced in the 1983 film Return of the Jedi, where they live on the forest moon of Endor and aid in the rebellion against the evil Empire. The chant is part of a ritual performed by the Ewoks to honor their guests, including the main characters of the Star Wars saga. The words themselves do not have a direct English translation, but they are meant to convey a sense of unity and celebration. The overall effect of the chant is to create a sense of otherworldly culture and customs, which adds to the richness of the Star Wars universe.
