Shir haShirim (Song of Songs) 1
1
1The song of songs, which is Shelomoh’s.
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth, For your carnal-love are better than wine.
3For fragrance your oils are good. Your name is oil poured forth,#See Eccl. 7:1 Therefore the young women#See Explanatory Notes "Maiden" love you.
4Draw me! We run after you. The sovereign has brought me into his inner rooms. We exult and rejoice in you. We praise your carnal-love more than wine. Rightly do they love you.
5I am dark, but lovely, O daughters of Yerushalayim, Like the tents of Qĕḏar, Like the curtains of Shelomoh.
6Do not look upon me, because I am dark, Because the sun has tanned me. My mother’s sons were displeased with me. They made me the keeper of the vineyards, My own vineyard I have not kept.
7Make known to me, O you whom my being loves, Where you feed your flock, Where you make it rest at noon. For why should I be as one who is veiled Beside the flocks of your companions?
8If you do not know, O beautiful among women, Go in the footsteps of the flock, And feed your little goats beside the shepherds’ dwellings.
9I have compared you, my love, To my filly among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Your cheeks are pretty with ornaments, Your neck with strings of beads.
11Let us make you ornaments of gold with studs of silver.
12While the sovereign is at his table, My nard shall give its fragrance.
13My beloved is a bundle of myrrh to me, Lying between my breasts.
14My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blooms In the vineyards of Ěn Geḏi.
15See, you are beautiful, my love! See, you are beautiful! Your eyes are as doves.
16See, you are handsome, my beloved! Yes, pleasant! Also our bed is green.
17The beams of our houses are cedar, our rafters are of fir.

Song of Songs 1
1
A Bride Sings of Her Lover
1The song of songs of Solomon
2Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth! For your love is better than wine.
3Your ointments have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is poured out like perfume. No wonder maidens love you!
Chorus: Daughters of Zion
4Draw me after you, let us run! The king has brought me into his chambers. Let us rejoice and be glad in you; let us extol your love more than wine. Rightly do they love you!
The Bride
5I am black, but beautiful, O daughters of Jerusalem, like the tents of Kedar, like the curtains of Solomon.
6Do not gaze at me because I am dark, because the sun has looked on me. My mother’s sons were angry with me and made me keeper of the vineyards; my very own vineyard I have not kept.
7Tell me, the one my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you make it lie down at noon? Why should I be as one veiled beside the flocks of your companions?
The Lover and Bride Express Affection
8If you yourself do not know, O most beautiful among women, go out yourself in the footsteps of the flock and graze your kids by the shepherds’ tents.
9I compare you, my darling, to my mare among Pharaoh’s chariots.
10Your cheeks are lovely with ornaments, your neck with strings of beads.
11 Ornaments of gold we will make for you with spangles of silver.
12While the king is on his couch, my nard spreads its fragrance.
13My lover is my pouch of myrrh, passing the night between my breasts.
14My love is to me a spray of henna blooms in the vineyards of En-gedi.
15How lovely you are, my darling, how lovely! Your eyes are doves.
16How handsome you are, my lover! Oh, so delightful! Yes, our couch is luxuriant.
17The beams of our houses are cedar trees, our panels are cypress trees.
