Dengan sebuah galah yang panjang dan kuat, tembok itu aku loncati
I (inf.) landed in the yard of the palace
Aku mendarat di halaman dalam istana
Now I approached the istana. Not guarded.
Sekarang aku (men)dekati istana itu. Tak dijaga
where on earth/the hell was the beautiful princess?

Aku masuki ruangan istana itu satu per satu dari belakang

This must be the princess
Ini pasti sang puteri
