Mandinka

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 heartI 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 doThey'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 throughI 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 flameBut 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 heartI do
Mandinka
Soon I can give you my heart
Soon I can give you my heart
