Lyrics:

[Verse 1]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Verse 2]
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

[Chorus]
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

[Outro]
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
