8I said, I will go up to the upalm tree,
I will take hold of the boughs thereof:
Now also thy breasts shall be as xclusters of the vine,
And the smell of thy nose like yapples;
9And zthe roof of thy mouth like the best wine,
For my beloved, athat goeth down sweetly,
Causing the lips of those that are basleep to speak.

I say I will climb the palm tree
and lay hold of its fruit.
Oh may your breasts be like clusters of the vine,
and the scent of your breath like apples,
and your mouth like the best wine.
It goes down smoothly for my beloved,
gliding over lips and teeth.

May the wine go straight to my beloved,
flowing gently over lips and teeth.

For my beloved, that goeth down sweetly,
Causing the lips of those that are asleep to speak.
