Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; for your love is better than wine.

Song of Solomon 1:3  
Your oils have a pleasing fragrance. Your name is oil poured out, therefore the virgins love you.

Take me away with you. Let’s hurry. The king has brought me into his rooms. Friends We will be glad and rejoice in you. We will praise your love more than wine! Beloved They are right to love you.

Song of Solomon 1:5  
I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.

Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

Song of Solomon 1:7  
Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions? Lover

Your cheeks are beautiful with earrings, your neck with strings of jewels. Friends

We will make you earrings of gold, with studs of silver. Beloved

While the king sat at his table, my perfume spread its fragrance.

My beloved is to me a cluster of henna blossoms from the vineyards of En Gedi. Lover

Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves. Beloved

Behold, you are beautiful, my beloved, yes, pleasant; and our couch is verdant. Lover

The beams of our house are cedars. Our rafters are firs.
