Lyrics for 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 heart Uh, uh-ah Ih, ji 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, uh-uh-uh 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've 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, eh, uh, oh, oh I do, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh I do, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh, uh, oh I say 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
