The Woman to the Man She Loves

Cover me with kisses,
    for your love is better than wine.
Your perfume smells wonderful,
    but your name[a] is sweeter than the best perfume.
    That is why the young women love you.
Take me with you.
    Let’s run away.

The Women of Jerusalem to the Man

We will rejoice and be happy for you.
    Remember, your love is better than wine.
    With good reason, the young women love you.
