1 If only you were as my brother—the one who nursed at my mother’s breast.I would find you in the street and kiss you,and no one would shame me for it.
2 I would lead you, I would bring youto my mother’s house;she would teach me what to do.I would give you spiced wine to drink,some of my fresh pomegranate juice.
3 His left arm is beneath my head,and his right embraces me!
4 Make a solemn pledge,daughters of Jerusalem,never to rouse, never to arouse loveuntil it desires.[Daughters of Jerusalem]
