Mandinka

The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.

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 Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

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 Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

I do know Man-din-ka

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
