1. The song of songs, which is Solomon's. | |
2. The Shulamite Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth-- For your love is better than wine. | |
3. Because of the fragrance of your good ointments, Your name is ointment poured forth; Therefore the virgins love you. | |
4. Draw me away! The Daughters of Jerusalem We will run after you. The Shulamite The king has brought me into his chambers. The Shulamite Rightly do they love you. | |
5. I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Jerusalem, Like the tents of Kedar, Like the curtains of Solomon. | |
6. Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother's sons were angry with me; They made me the keeper of the vineyards, But my own vineyard I have not kept. | |
7. (To Her Beloved) Tell me, O you whom I love, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who veils herself By the flocks of your companions? | |
8. The Beloved If you do not know, O fairest among women, Follow in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats Beside the shepherds' tents. | |
9. I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh's chariots. | |
10. Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, Your neck with chains of gold. | |
11. The Daughters of Jerusalem We will make you ornaments of gold With studs of silver. | |
12. The Shulamite While the king is at his table, My spikenard sends forth its fragrance. | |
13. A bundle of myrrh is my beloved to me, That lies all night between my breasts. | |
14. My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of En Gedi. | |
15. The Beloved Behold, you are fair, my love! Behold, you are fair! You have dove's eyes. | |
16. The Shulamite Behold, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green. | |
17. The beams of our houses are cedar, And our rafters of fir. |
