2 "My love, among the young women you are like a lily among thorns." The woman says,
3 "My love, among the young men you are like an apple tree among the trees of the forest. I'm happy to sit in your shade. Your fruit tastes so sweet to me.
4 You have taken me to the dinner hall. Your banner of love is lifted high above me.
5 Give me some raisins to make me strong. Give me some apples to make me feel like new again. Our love has made me weak.
6 Your left arm is under my head. Your right arm is around me.
7 Women of Jerusalem, take an oath and make me a promise. Let the antelopes and the does serve as witnesses. Don't stir up love. Don't wake it up until it's ready.
8 "Listen! I hear my love! Look! Here he comes! He's leaping across the mountains. He's coming over the hills.
