I'm dancing the seven veils

Want you to pick up my scarf

See how the black moon fades

Soon I can give you my heart



I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't see the flame

But I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do



They're throwing it all this way

Dragging it back to the start

And they say, ";See how the glass is raised?";

I have refused to take part

I told them ";drink something new";

Please let me pull something through



I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't

I don't know no shame

I feel no pain

I can't see the flame



But I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do

I do

I do

I say I do

Soon I can give you my heart

I swear I do

Soon I can give you my heart



I do

Mandinka

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart

Soon I can give you my heart
