What are the lyrics and what do they mean?

[@malucax1275]

FANGA
Fanga a la fia
Response: Ase ase
Fanga a la fia
Response: Ase ase
Fanga ase ase
Respons: Ase ase
Fanga ase ase
Response: Ase ase
(Translation:
Fanga = Welcome
A La Fia = Peace unto you,
Ase = So it be)

[@malucax1275]

Or another explanation:
en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fanga_(dance)
alafia = welcome; ashe = so be it; fanga = drum

The way you sing the song is incorrect
