[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
