Mandinka is a African tribal reference. Raising a glass is a ritual toast of celebration. Doing the dance of the seven veils is a sexual ritual that indicates women are ready for romance/sex. This song is about how she is ready to "give her heart" to someone not just with her body but with her soul. This is a coming of age song for Sinead.
