Though the song is Dutch in origin, the "words" are just nonsense. They are supposed to be approximations of the sounds a spinning wheel makes when being used. The song has some superstition tied to it as the mothers used it when their daughters were learning to spin and it was supposed to bring luck allowing the girl to become a good seamstress and marry a good man.
