She is a friendly dougla girl from the village
And she sings every Sunday in the church choir
So, he would wait to see her patiently all week
When she is passing behind the church fence wire
He had fallen fell in love with her
But he never talked to her before
But he knows that she is the only girl
That his heart beats for
He was an Indian boy born in Ste Madeleine
And he works in his father's company
He is an only child
From a very respected and wealthy family
And she was just a poor girl
Who was living down by the old train line
She was a down—to—earth girl
Always very polite and kind
Many times, he wanted to go and talk to her
But he would always feel shy
So, he would pretend not to see her
But watch her as she passes by
Then one day he sees her walking home
So, he went over to say hello
But then he sees his father's car coming at the same time
So, he tells her, how he must go
But his father had already seen him
And at home, his father started to yell and shout
He said "If you talk to that girl again
You will have to leave this house and get out
Why are you talking to that girl?
Is not that the poor girl who lives down in Gopaul trace
If anybody sees you talking to her
You will bring me shame and disgrace
We are arranging a marriage to a rich family
With a nice educated girl in San Fernando
We already made the arrangements to meet her
And this Sunday we must go
Do you know what this could mean to the company?
We could merge and have the biggest company in Trinidad
And your marriage with that girl
Would be the launching pad
Well, he did not sleep all night
He loves this poor girl so dearly
And if he does not do something now
Then he knows how his future was going to be
So, he lies in bed awake all night
Waiting for the break of dawn
