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.
