Hi FD,
The words you don't understand are in Creole (albeit written in an older, unofficial style which I had to read aloud to get), and they say:

Aida Ouedo you are my serpent!
when you court me/flirt with me you are like lightning!

According to the modern grammar and spelling, it should be written:
Ayida Wedo ou koulèv-mwen!
Ki lè ou file ou kou zeklè!

According to voodoo, it is possible for a devotee to marry or have a relationship with a spirit (lwa, zanj in Creole) such as Aida Ouedo.
