Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth—

for your love is more delightful than wine.

Pleasing is the fragrance of your perfumes;

your name is like perfume poured out.

No wonder the young women love you!

Take me away with you—let us hurry!

we will praise your love more than wine.

How right they are to adore you!

Oh, that the king would bring me to his chambers.

we will celebrate your caresses more than wine.

It is only right that they adore you.

Kiss me and kiss me again,

for your love is sweeter than wine.

How pleasing is your fragrance;

your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils.

No wonder all the young women love you!

Take me with you; come, let’s run!

The king has brought me into his bedroom.

How happy we are for you, O king.

We praise your love even more than wine.

How right they are to adore you.

As fragrance, your perfumes are delightful;

your name is poured out perfume;

therefore young women love you.

Draw me after you, let us run!

May the king bring me into his chambers!

Let us be joyful and let us rejoice in you;

let us extol your love more than wine.

Rightly do they love you!

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:

For thy love is better than wine.

Because of the savour of thy good ointments

Thy name is as ointment poured forth,

Therefore do the virgins love thee.

Draw me, we will run after thee:

The king hath brought me into his chambers:

We will be glad and rejoice in thee,

We will remember thy love more than wine:

The upright love thee.
