The wedding dance

1. You are a princess,and your feet are gracefulin their sandals.Your thighs are works of art,each one a jewel;

2. your navel is a wine glassfilled to overflowing.Your body is full and slenderlike a bundle of wheatbound together by lilies.

3. Your breasts are like twinsof a deer.

4. Your neck is like ivory,and your eyes sparklelike the pools of Heshbonby the gate of Bath-Rabbim.Your nose is beautifullike Mount Lebanonabove the city of Damascus.

5. Your head is held highlike Mount Carmel;your hair is so lovelyit holds a king prisoner.

6. You are beautiful,so very desirable!

7. You are tall and slenderlike a palm tree,and your breasts are full.

8. I will climb that treeand cling to its branches.I will discover that your breastsare clusters of grapes,and that your breathis the aroma of apples.

9. Kissing you is more deliciousthan drinking the finest wine.How wonderful and tasty!

10. My darling, I am yours,and you desire me.

11. Let's stroll through the fieldsand sleep in the villages.

12. At dawn let's slip out and seeif grapevines and fruit treesare covered with blossoms.When we are there,I will give you my love.

13. Perfume from the magic flowerfills the air, my darling.Right at our doorstepI have stored up for youall kinds of tasty fruits.
