lyrics

The Poinciana

Paroles: Mélanie Cantin
Musique: Air traditionnel de calypso extempo
Adaptation : Rachel Leblanc and Melanie Cantin

I
Once upon a time there was a tree
Growing in Africa, flamingly
Who was it brought it to the West Indies
Theys ay it was Philippe de Poincy

Pre-chorus
Poinciana’s the name of this tree
In honour of sir De Poincy
Who brought it from Madagascar
This african tree sure travelled far

Chorus
It is De Poincy Poinciana
Árbol del fuego, flamboyant
Joy’s in my heart whenever I see
Shak-shak shak calypso tree

III
Lovely flame glowing in the woods
All summer long you look so good
In the shade we talk you and me
Heart to heart with calypso tree
