Text

1	Oh, I wish you were my brother, who nursed at my mother's breasts. Then I could kiss you no matter who was watching, and no one would criticize me.
2	I would bring you to my childhood home, and there you would teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, my sweet pomegranate wine.
3	Your left arm would be under my head, and your right arm would embrace me.
4	Promise me, O women of Jerusalem, not to awaken love until the time is right. Young Women of Jerusalem
5	Who is this sweeping in from the desert, leaning on her lover? Young Woman I aroused you under the apple tree, where your mother gave you birth, where in great pain she delivered you.
6	Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm. For love is as strong as death, its jealousy as enduring as the grave. Love flashes like fire, the brightest kind of flame.
7	Many waters cannot quench love, nor can rivers drown it. If a man tried to buy love with all his wealth, his offer would be utterly scorned. The Young Woman's Brothers
8	We have a little sister too young to have breasts. What will we do for our sister if someone asks to marry her?
9	If she is a virgin, like a wall, we will protect her with a silver tower. But if she is promiscuous, like a swinging door, we will block her door with a cedar bar. Young Woman
10	I was a virgin, like a wall; now my breasts are like towers. When my lover looks at me, he is delighted with what he sees.
11	Solomon has a vineyard at Baal-hamon, which he leases out to tenant farmers. Each of them pays a thousand pieces of silver for harvesting its fruit.
12	But my vineyard is mine to give, and Solomon need not pay a thousand pieces of silver. But I will give two hundred pieces to those who care for its vines. Young Man
13	O my darling, lingering in the gardens, your companions are fortunate to hear your voice. Let me hear it, too! Young Woman
14	Come away, my love! Be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.

KJV

1	O that thou wert as my brother, that sucked the breasts of my mother! when I should find thee without, I would kiss thee; yea, I should not be despised.
2	I would lead thee, and bring thee into my mother's house, who would instruct me: I would cause thee to drink of spiced wine of the juice of my pomegranate.
3	His left hand should be under my head, and his right hand should embrace me.
4	I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, until he please.
5	Who is this that cometh up from the wilderness, leaning upon her beloved? I raised thee up under the apple tree: there thy mother brought thee forth: there she brought thee forth that bare thee.
6	Set me as a seal upon thine heart, as a seal upon thine arm: for love is strong as death; jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are coals of fire, which hath a most vehement flame.
7	Many waters cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would utterly be contemned.
8	We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister in the day when she shall be spoken for?
9	If she be a wall, we will build upon her a palace of silver: and if she be a door, we will inclose her with boards of cedar.
10	I am a wall, and my breasts like towers: then was I in his eyes as one that found favour.
11	Solomon had a vineyard at Baalhamon; he let out the vineyard unto keepers; every one for the fruit thereof was to bring a thousand pieces of silver.
12	My vineyard, which is mine, is before me: thou, O Solomon, must have a thousand, and those that keep the fruit thereof two hundred.
13	Thou that dwellest in the gardens, the companions hearken to thy voice: cause me to hear it.
14	Make haste, my beloved, and be thou like to a roe or to a young hart upon the mountains of spices.

1	Oh that you were like a brother to me who nursed at my mother's breasts! If I found you outside, I would kiss you, and none would despise me.
2	I would lead you and bring you into the house of my mother- she who used to teach me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the juice of my pomegranate.
3	His left hand is under my head, and his right hand embraces me!
4	I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you not stir up or awaken love until it pleases.
5	Who is that coming up from the wilderness, leaning on her beloved? Under the apple tree I awakened you. There your mother was in labor with you; there she who bore you was in labor.
6	Set me as a seal upon your heart, as a seal upon your arm, for love is strong as death, jealousy is fierce as the grave. Its flashes are flashes of fire, the very flame of the LORD.
7	Many waters cannot quench love, neither can floods drown it. If a man offered for love all the wealth of his house, he would be utterly despised.
8	We have a little sister, and she has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is spoken for?
9	If she is a wall, we will build on her a battlement of silver, but if she is a door, we will enclose her with boards of cedar.
10	I was a wall, and my breasts were like towers; then I was in his eyes as one who finds peace.
11	Solomon had a vineyard at Baal-hamon; he let out the vineyard to keepers; each one was to bring for its fruit a thousand pieces of silver.
12	My vineyard, my very own, is before me; you, O Solomon, may have the thousand, and the keepers of the fruit two hundred.
13	O you who dwell in the gardens, with companions listening for your voice; let me hear it.
14	Make haste, my beloved, and be like a gazelle or a young stag on the mountains of spices.

1	If only you were to me like a brother, who was nursed at my mother's breasts! Then, if I found you outside, I would kiss you, and no one would despise me.
2	I would lead you and bring you to my mother's house- she who has taught me. I would give you spiced wine to drink, the nectar of my pomegranates.
3	His left arm is under my head and his right arm embraces me.
4	Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you: Do not arouse or awaken love until it so desires.
5	Who is this coming up from the desert leaning on her lover? Under the apple tree I roused you; there your mother conceived you, there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6	Place me like a seal over your heart, like a seal on your arm; for love is as strong as death, its jealousy unyielding as the grave. It burns like blazing fire, like a mighty flame.
7	Many waters cannot quench love; rivers cannot wash it away. If one were to give all the wealth of his house for love, it would be utterly scorned.
8	We have a young sister, and her breasts are not yet grown. What shall we do for our sister for the day she is spoken for?
9	If she is a wall, we will build towers of silver on her. If she is a door, we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
10	I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers. Thus I have become in his eyes like one bringing contentment.
11	Solomon had a vineyard in Baal Hamon; he let out his vineyard to tenants. Each was to bring for its fruit a thousand shekels of silver.
12	But my own vineyard is mine to give; the thousand shekels are for you, O Solomon, and two hundred are for those who tend its fruit.
13	You who dwell in the gardens with friends in attendance, let me hear your voice!
14	Come away, my lover, and be like a gazelle or like a young stag on the spice-laden mountains.
