1. If you were my brother,I could kiss youwhenever we happen to meet,and no one would sayI did wrong.
2. I could take you to the homeof my mother,who taught me all I know.I would give you delicious wineand fruit juice as well.
3. Put your left hand under my headand embrace mewith your right arm.
4. Young women of Jerusalem,promise me by the powerof deer and gazellesnever to awaken lovebefore it is ready.
5. Who is this young womancoming in from the desertand leaning on the shoulderof the one she loves?I stirred up your passionsunder the apple treewhere you were born.
6. Always keep me in your heartand wear this braceletto remember me by.The passion of lovebursting into flameis more powerful than death,stronger than the grave.
7. Love cannot be drownedby oceans or floods;it cannot be bought,no matter what is offered.
8. We have a little sisterwhose breastsare not yet formed.If someone asks to marry her,what should we do?
9. She isn't a wallthat we can defendbehind a silver shield.Neither is she a roomthat we can protectbehind a wooden door.
10. I am a wall around a city,my breasts are towers,and just looking at mebrings him great pleasure.
11. Solomon has a vineyardat Baal-Hamon,which he rents to othersfor a thousand piecesof silver each.

13. You are in the gardenwith friends all around.Let me hear your voice!
14. Hurry to me, my darling!Run faster than a deerto mountains of spices.
