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 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 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
