Lover:
BelHow beautifual you are, my darling!
BelBelOh, how beautiful!
BelBelYour eyes behind your veil are doves.
BelYour hair is like a flock of goats.
BelBeldescending from Mount Gilead.
BelYour teeth are like a flock of sheep just
BelBelBelshorn,
BelBelcoming up from the washing.
BelEach has its twin;
BelBelnot one of them is alone.
BelYour lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
BelBelyour mouth is lovely.
BelYour temples behind your veil
BelBelare like the halves of a pomegranate.
BelYour neck is like the tower of David,
BelBelbuilt with elegance;
Belon it hang a thousand shields,
BelBelall of them shields of warriors.
BelYour two breasts are like two fawns
BelBellike twin fawns of a gazelle
BelBelthat browse among the lilies.
BelUntil the day breaks
BelBeland the shadows flee,
BelI will go to the mountains of myrrh
BelBeland to the hil of incense.
BelAll beautiful you are, my darling;
BelBelthere is no flaw in you.

BelCome with me from Lebanon, my bride,
BelBelcome with me from Lebanon.
BelDescend fromt eh crest of Amana,
BelBelfrom the top of Senir, the summit of
BelBelBelHermon,
Belfrom the lions' dens
BelBeland the mountain haunts of the
BelBelBelleopards.
BelYou have stolen my heart, my sister, my
BelBelBelbride;
BelBelyou have stolen my heart
Belwith one glance of your eyes,
BelBelwith one jewel of your necklace.
BelHow delightful is your love, my sister,
BelBelBelmy bride!
BelBelHow much more pleasing is your love
BelBelBelthan wine,
BelBeland the fragrance of your perfume
BelBelBelthan any spice!
BelYour lips drop sweetness as the
BelBelBelhoneycomb, my bride;
BelBelmilk and honey are under your
BelBelBeltongue.
BelBelThe fragrance of your garments i like
BelBelBelthat of Lebanon.
BelYou are a garden locked up, my sister,
BelBelBelmy bride;
BelBelyou are a spring enclosed, a sealed
BelBelBelfountain.
BelYour plants are an orchard of
BelBelBelpomegranates
BelBelwith choice fruits,
BelBelwith henna and nard,
BelBelnard and saffron,
BelBelcalamus and cinnamon,
BelBelwith every kind of incense tree,
BelBelwith myrrh and aloes
BelBeland all the finest spices.
BelYou are a garden fountain,
BelBela well of flowing water
BelBelstreaming down from Lebanon.

Beloved:
BelAwake, north wind,
BelBeland come, south wind!
BelBlow on my garden,
BelBelthat its fragrance may spread abroad.
BelLet my lover come into his garden
BelBeland taste its choice fruits.
