1 This is Solomon'smost beautiful song.
2 Kiss me tenderly!Your love is better than wine,
3 and you smell so sweet.All the young women adore you;the very mention of your nameis like spreading perfume.*
4 Hurry, my king! Let's hurry.Take me to your home.We are happy for you!And we praise your loveeven more than wine.Young women of Jerusalem,it is only rightthat you should adore him.
5 My skin is dark and beautiful,like a tent in the desertor like Solomon's curtains.
