1. Night after night on my bedI looked for the one I love.I looked for him but did not find him.
2. I will get up now and roam around the city,in the streets, and in the squares.I will look for the one I love.I looked for him but did not find him.
3. The watchmen making their rounds in the city found me.⌊I asked,⌋ “Have you seen the one I love?”
4. I had just left them when I found the one I love.I held on to him and would not let him gountil I had brought him into my mother’s house,into the bedroom of the one who conceived me.
