Manhattan Transfer, The - Poinciana Lyrics
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
Our love will live forever and a day
Poinciana...
Poinciana, from now until the dawning day
Our love will live forever and a day
Blow tropic wind
Sing a song through the tree
Tree sigh to me
Soon my love I will see
Blow tropic wind
Sing a song through the tree
Tree sigh to me
Soon my love I will see

Manhattan Transfer, The Poinciana Comments
Amazing!
One of the best songs ever, by one of the most extraordinarily talented groups in history! Excellent.😊💒
😀😀😀
Merveilleux souvenirs mes 15 ans merci
Amazing and great song with beautiful voices.MANHATTAN TRANSFER With its beautiful harmonies, they take us on a journey to distant lands, exotic, heavenly where life would be like a waking dream. This is the power of this song and this fabulous quartet.
Great job but not The Four Freshman 👍
Me encanta este grupo .........
Good arrangement. Check out the army airforce band's 1943 rendition under the direction of Captain Glenn Miller.
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 ev'rywhere, 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
Our love will live forever and a day
This song always reminds me of Key West in the Magnificent 70's and the poincianas in bloom overhead. Sublime.
Produced by Richard Perry, "Poinciana", written in 1936 by Nat Simon & Buddy Bernier, featuring Michael Brecker (RIP) on sax and Bill Payne from the group Little Feat on bass.
Beautiful harmony. Never heard this song until tonight. A new fave
Love this tune. Used to play it as a kid on guitar with bossa nova twist. That 50 years ago and still love it today.
For everyone who loves this -- as I truly do -- bear in mind that the amazing arrangement and probably the guitar tracks should be credited to Jay Graydon, producer, and not just to MT.
A little bit different atmosphere, Barry... I am enjoying this song while facing hectic shcedules and papers rumbles on my desk.....don't know what to do...which one prior from the other... and then I grab my cold coffee......
This makes me imagine myself lounging beside a pool or under some umbrella on a lush patio, as I sip on a mai tai 😊
great harmonies
Poinciana ...... The song takes me to that magical place......swaying palms and a tropical sea breeze......and Bar Keep I will have another Mai Ti .......
You probably watched James A Mitchener's 'Tales of the South Pacific' as I did also as a kid? Or read the book. Yes that and this music takes us both to the same place. Magic eh?
My most favorite MT song followed by A Kiss To Build A Dream On, Java Jive....etc...this song is SO romantic :-)
Happy 90th Birthday Gloria Andrews! You favorite song from decades ago...
Where the heck did you get the spelling "pocinciana"? Everywhere else this Latin word is spelled "poinciana".
I'm a Hugh fan of this stylish quartet,Mystery is my all time favorite.
Easily my favorite of Manhattan Transfer!
Another smooth mt cover
Great cover.
Pieseň z albumu Coming Out z roku 1976. Jej autormi sú Nat Simon nar. 1900 hudba a Buddy Bernier nar. 1910 text. Vytvorená bola na základe kubanskej ľudovej piesne La Cancion Del Arbo! Ponciana alebo Delonix Regia je okrasný strom privezený na Kubu z ostrova Madagaskar. V roku 1934 nahral pieseň Glenn Miller s orchestrom. O 10 rokov neskôr Benny Carter a Bing Crosby. Popularitu získala vďaka filmu Dreamboat z roku 1952. Neskôr ju nahrali Johnny Matis, Four Freshman a v roku 1978 disco dvojica Paradise Express v podani ktorej to bol TOP 20 hit. V roku 1995 zaznela vo filme Medisonské mosty. Na nahraní piesne sa podielal Bill Payne klavir zo skupiny Little Feat a solom na soprán saxofon Michael Brecker z Brecker Brothers,ktorý žial v roku 2007 podľahol zákernej chorobe....
Wow! This is sublime.
Very nice from @Annetworth
maravilhoso!
this is where the music and the vocals just GEL...golden. Alan Paul's vocal here, especially, reminds me of On a Little Street in Singapore.
wow..ive been searching for this for ages.... i love it so much, thanks for uploading.
