4. He brought me to the banquet room.His banner over me is love.
5. Strengthen me with raisins.Refresh me with apples,because I am weak with love.
6. My lover’s left hand is under my head.And his right arm holds me tight!
7. Women of Jerusalem, promise meby the gazelles and the deer.Promise not to wake love.Don’t excite my feelings of loveuntil I’m ready.
8. I hear my lover’s voice.He comes jumping across the mountains.He comes skipping over the hills!
9. My lover is like a gazelle or a young deer.Look, he stands behind our wall.He stares in through the windows,looking through the blinds.
10. My lover spoke. He said to me,“Get up, my darling.Let’s go away, my beautiful one.
11. Look, the winter is past.The rains are over and gone.
12. Blossoms appear through all the land.The time has come to sing.The cooing of doves is heard in our land.
13. There are young figs on the fig trees.The blossoms on the vines smell sweet.Get up, my darling.Let’s go away, my beautiful one.”
