Lyrics of Mandinka by Sinéad O'Connor
verse
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
verse
Uh, uh-ah
Ih, ji
pre-chorus
I don't know no shame, I feel no pain
I can't see the flame
chorus
But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do, uh-uh-uh
verse
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
pre-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
chorus
But I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
I do know Mandinka
chorus
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
verse
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
verse
Soon I can give you my heart
outro
Soon I can give you my heart
outro
Soon I can give you my heart
