1. "I am like a rose on the coast of Sharon. I'm like a lily in the valleys." The king says,
2. "My love, among the young women you are like a lily among thorns." The woman says,
3. "My love, among the young men you are like an apple tree among the trees of the forest. I'm happy to sit in your shade. Your fruit tastes so sweet to me.
4. You have taken me to the dinner hall. Your banner of love is lifted high above me.
5. Give me some raisins to make me strong. Give me some apples to make me feel like new again. Our love has made me weak.
6. Your left arm is under my head. Your right arm is around me.
7. Women of Jerusalem, take an oath and make me a promise. Let the antelopes and the does serve as witnesses. Don't stir up love. Don't wake it up until it's ready.
8. "Listen! I hear my love! Look! Here he comes! He's leaping across the mountains. He's coming over the hills.
