1 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! The curves of your thighs are like jewelry, the handiwork of a master. 1How beautiful are your feet in sandals, O noble daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of a master hand.
2Your navel is a rounded bowl; it never lacks mixed wine. Your waist is a mound of wheat surrounded by lilies. 2Your navel is a rounded bowl that never lacks mixed wine. Your belly is a heap of wheat, encircled with lilies.
3Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle. 3Your two breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4Your neck is like a tower of ivory, your eyes like pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon looking toward Damascus. 4Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are pools in Heshbon, by the gate of Bath-rabbim. Your nose is like a tower of Lebanon, which looks toward Damascus.
5Your head crowns you like Mount Carmel, the hair of your head like purple cloth-- a king could be held captive in your tresses. 5Your head crowns you like Carmel, and your flowing locks are like purple; a king is held captive in the tresses.
6How beautiful you are and how pleasant, my love, with such delights! 6How beautiful and pleasant you are, O loved one, with all your delights!
7Your stature is like a palm tree; your breasts are clusters of fruit. 7Your stature is like a palm tree, and your breasts are like its clusters.
8I said, "I will climb the palm tree and take hold of its fruit." May your breasts be like clusters of grapes, and the fragrance of your breath like apricots. 8I say I will climb the palm tree and lay hold of its fruit. Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine, and the scent of your breath like apples,
9Your mouth is like fine wine-- W flowing smoothly for my love, gliding past my lips and teeth! 9and your mouth like the best wine. She It goes down smoothly for my beloved, gliding over lips and teeth.
10I belong to my love, and his desire is for me. 10I am my beloved’s, and his desire is for me.
11Come, my love, let's go to the field; let's spend the night among the henna blossoms. 11Come, my beloved, let us go out into the fields and lodge in the villages;
12Let's go early to the vineyards; let's see if the vine has budded, if the blossom has opened, if the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love. 12let us go out early to the vineyards and see whether the vines have budded, whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom. There I will give you my love.
13The mandrakes give off a fragrance, and at our doors is every delicacy-- new as well as old. I have treasured them up for you, my love. 13The mandrakes give forth fragrance, and beside our doors are all choice fruits, new as well as old, which I have laid up for you, O my beloved.
