Poinciana, your branches speak to me of love

Pale moon is casting shadows from above

Poinciana, somehow I feel the jungle heat

Within me, there grows a rhythmic, savage beat

 

Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air

To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!

 

Poinciana, from now until the dawning day

I've learned to love forever, come what may

 

<brief instrumental>

 

Love is everywhere, its magic perfume fills the air

To and fro you sway, my heart's in time, I've learned to care!

 

Poinciana, from now until the dawning day

I'll learn to love forever, come what may

Poinciana!
