1
The Girl: “Oh, if only you were my brother; then I could kiss you no matter who was watching, and no one would laugh at me.
2
I would bring you to my childhood home, and there you would teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, sweet pomegranate wine.
3
His left hand would be under my head and his right hand would embrace me.
4
I adjure you, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken him until he please.“
5
The Young Women of Jerusalem: “Who is this coming up from the desert, leaning on her beloved?“ King Solomon: “Under the apple tree where your mother gave birth to you in her travail, there I awakened your love.“
6
The Girl: “Seal me in your heart with permanent betrothal, for love is strong as death, and jealousy is as cruel as Sheol. It flashes fire, the very flame of Jehovah.
7
Many waters cannot quench the flame of love, neither can the floods drown it. If a man tried to buy it with everything he owned, he couldn't do it.“
8
The Girl's Brothers: “We have a little sister too young for breasts. What shall we do if someone asks to marry her?“
9
King Solomon: “If she has no breasts, we will build upon her a battlement of silver, and if she is a door, we will enclose her with cedar boards.“
10
The Girl: “I am slim, tall, and full-breasted, and I have found favor in my lover's eyes.
11
Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon, which he rented out to some farmers there, the rent being one thousand pieces of silver from each.
12
But as for my own vineyard, you, O Solomon, shall have my thousand pieces of silver, and I will give two hundred pieces to those who care for it.
13
O my beloved, living in the gardens, how wonderful that your companions may listen to your voice; let me hear it too.
14
Come quickly, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or young deer upon the mountains of spices.“
