She waits in the castle up in the middle tower,
looking around at the petals of her red flower,
given to her by the secret love of her life,
his name is Falaki and he wants her to be his wife,
but they cannot be wed for he is not looked at kind,
her father forbids it putting the thought behind,
toulia the princess waits for her love to come,
waiting for him to make her heart beat like a drum,
but he fears her father and does not appear,
hoping that their love would just disappear.
