Lyrics:
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

Who else thinks she had the best sounding female voice in history

[@lonelle.madsen]

HANDS DOWN YES! Her and Lisa Gerrard remain at my top female vocalists of all time!

[@JoelSalazarM]

for pop, absolutely!

[@leewilliams2763]

Oh yeah. Shes buries Adele!

[@etherealfoxproductions]

By far the most unique ever!

[@ninatolchinsky5193]

Yes. Absolutely.

[@harlendevraak1202]

I can’t think of any woman who can rock a shaved head like Sinead. It didn’t minimise her attractiveness. She was blessed with such a beautiful face to begin with.

[@johnpjones182]

Natalie Portman in "V for Vendetta". But, yeah, Sinead was striking.

[@mauve9266]

@@johnpjones182 I think they look so similar!

[@patricias5122]

The point is: SHE WANTED to minimize her so-called attractiveness. She was more than a pretty face. Why can't some people understand that? She was an enormous talent.

[@vreevroow]

Why the fuck are you saying things like this? How do you miss the point so hard with such an absence of shame? Fucking. hell.

[@DanHunterSportsWriter]

God she was so beautiful! The shaved head just emphasized that elfin, vulnerable face. This was my personal favourite song by Sinead. She was such a one-off, when she first did the Grammy's singing this song she basically created the lezzer look for the next 20 years! Not bad for a straight girl! As troubled as she was talented, I hope she's with her son in heaven right now.

[@patricias5122]

Can you try to understand that she's more than a pretty face? She had a stunning voice. Why do some men think it's all about her prettiness, or not prettiness, as they define it? She railed against these limitations you men place upon her.

[@yvettemcphee5116]

Her singing voice and persona captivated me in the 80s. I miss her presence on Earth. YM

[@derekpierkowski7641]

That's Straight Up BADASS!💚💚💚💥💚💚 If that don't move you , nothing could.

[@brianc4594]

She’s incredible. What a unique person.

[@CaWFly]

She will be missed , Original and ahead of her time , girl who had everything

[@BlackRain_]

She was an anti-white racist. Good riddance.

[@cd55896]

Her passing was such a tragedy. She was an absolute legend of a woman. Her work was fantastic, but what's more impressive is that she stuck to her guns and stood by her beliefs until the very end. She was an icon for so many. I grew up in Ireland in the 90s. Her music was prominent in my upbringing. Her attitude was amazing....imagine standing up against the pope in Holy Catholic Ireland! It was unheard of. My biggest regret is that I never got to meet her, and thank her for the impact she's had on me. Be you. Be weird. Be different. Stand by your beliefs, despite what other people may think of them. Rest easy, Sinéad. I hope you're finally at peace.

[@marcj4788]

Another Irish legend taken before her time, bless you sínead now you're free from this messed up place, enjoy paradise with Shane and Dolores and Christie dignam ❤,🙏💚🇮🇪

[@Celticman_]

R.I.P. Sinead O’ Connor. What a talent, her voice was so powerful and full of energy. May she rest in peace.

I was 17 when this song came out and I remember being struck by your voice which was absolutely beautiful, angry and so fregile at the same time. Loved the song and your music and from then on - bought all your CDs (still have them!). You are one of the most talented and bravest artists ever! You were so ahead of your time in so many ways, a real survivor, so inspirational... I still hope I get to see you live some day. Thank you for you music! xx

This is my favourite song of Sineads. I was bewitched by her as a teen, watching her videos over and over. I saw her live at Glastonbury in 1990, she was incredible! I’m so glad I got to witness this incredible woman perform. Bless you, Sinead. Rest in Paradise. I love you ❤️

[@moneyme9811]
