1. This is Solomon'smost beautiful song.
2. Kiss me tenderly!Your love is better than wine,
3. and you smell so sweet.All the young women adore you;the very mention of your nameis like spreading perfume.
4-5. Hurry, my king! Let's hurry.Take me to your home.We are happy for you!And we praise your loveeven more than wine.Young women of Jerusalem,it is only rightthat you should adore him.My skin is dark and beautiful,like a tent in the desertor like Solomon's curtains.
10. Earrings add to your beauty,and you wear a necklaceof precious stones.
11. Let's make you some jewelleryof gold, woven with silver.
12. My king, while youwere on your couch,my love was a magic charm.
13. My darling, you are perfumebetween my breasts;
14. you are flower blossomsfrom the gardens of En-Gedi.
15. My darling, you are lovely,so very lovely—your eyes are those of a dove.
16. My love, you are handsome,truly handsome—the fresh green grasswill be our wedding bed
17. in the shade of cedarand cypress trees.
