1 This is Solomon’s
most beautiful song.

She Speaks:
2 Kiss me tenderly!
Your love is better than wine,
3 and you smell so sweet.
All the young women adore you;
the very mention of your name
is like spreading perfume.
4 Hurry, my king! Let’s hurry.
5 Take me to your home.
Your love is better than wine,
3 and you smell so sweet.
All the young women adore you;
the very mention of your name
is like spreading perfume.
4 Hurry, my king! Let’s hurry.
5 Take me to your home.
The Young Women Speak:
We are happy for you!
And we praise your love
even more than wine.

She Speaks:
Young women of Jerusalem,
it is only right
that you should adore him.
My skin is dark and beautiful,
like a tent in the desert
or like Solomon’s curtains.
6 Don’t stare at me
just because the sun
has darkened my skin.
My brothers were angry with me;
they made me work in the vineyard,
and so I neglected
my complexion.

Don’t let the other shepherds
think badly of me.

7 I’m not one of those women
who shamelessly follow
after shepherds

after shepherds
My darling, I love you!
