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 Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

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 Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do

I do

I do

I said 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
