Default Sicilianu/Calabrese

I understand some of the siclian's dialects and those from southern Calabria but here is one sentence i can't understand :

"a mia m'andi passari janchi e niri".

janchi : white
niri : black

in french, does that means : "je passe du blanc ou noir" or "je peux passer du blanc au noir" ??
in english : "i become black from white" (i know it makes no sense).

maybe "white" means "peace and quiet" and "black" means "anger" in that sentence.

i'd like to know what you think about it.
