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
