[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 Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

I do know Mandinka

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

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

[Bridge]

I do know

I do know

[Outro]

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
