1. I wish that you were my brother,that my mother had nursed you at her breast.Then, if I met you in the street,I could kiss you and no one would mind.
2. I would take you to my mother's house,where you could teach me love.I would give you spiced wine,my pomegranate wine to drink.
3. Your left-hand is under my head,and your right-hand caresses me.
4. Promise me, women of Jerusalem,that you will not interrupt our love.
5. Who is this coming from the desert,arm in arm with her lover?Under the apple tree I woke you,in the place where you were born.
