1. I wish you were like my brotherwho was fed at my mother’s breasts!If I found you outside,I would kiss you.And no one would look down on me.
2. I would lead you and bring youto my mother’s house.She is the one who has taught me.I would give you a drink of spiced winefrom my pomegranates.
3. My lover’s left hand is under my head.And his right arm holds me tight!
4. Women of Jerusalem, promise me.Promise not to wake love.Don’t excite my feelings of loveuntil I’m ready.
