I'm dancing the seven veils
want you to pick up my scarves
see how the black moon fades
soon I can give you my heart

I don't know no shame
I think I'm playin' a game
see the flame ...

idoa Mandinka
idoa Mandinka
idoa Mandinka
idoa Mandinka
Ido

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 think I'm playin' a game
I don't know no shame
I think I'm playin' a game
see the flame

but idoa Mandinka
ido Mandinka

idoa Mandinka
idoa Mandinka
ido
ido
I said ido

soon I can give you my heart
I swear I do
soon I can give you my heart

ido
Mandinka
soon I can give you my heart
soon I can give you my heart
