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
