The Loved One

Let him kiss me over and over again![a]
    Your love is better than wine.
The fragrance of your perfumed oil is wonderful.
    Your name is perfume poured out.
        Therefore the young women love you.
Take me with[b] you! Let’s run away!
    Let the king bring me into his private chambers.

The Young Women

The daughters[c] of Jerusalem[d] will rejoice and be happy for you.
    We will value your love more than wine.
        They love you appropriately.
