Answer to Question 1

 The use of a generic text interspersed with extra words and syllables whose meanings may be obscure gives greater importance to the musical elements such as pitch and rhythm. The words end up serving primarily as vehicles for beautiful melody.
 See also Text, Ladrang Wilujeng Worlds of Music, p. 359.

Answer to Question 2

 No. The text of both the soloist and choir is generic, not specifically related to the melody of the piece or its title. To a great degree, Javanese melodies and texts lead independent lives. For example, one may sing a melody with a variety of texts or sing a single text in a variety of gamelan pieces.
