1. Bride to Groom: Who will give you to me as my brother, feeding from the breasts of my mother, so that I may discover you outside, and may kiss you, and so that now no one may despise me?
2. I will take hold of you and lead you into my mother's house. There you will teach me, and I will give you a cup of spiced wine, and of new wine from my pomegranates.
3. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4. Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.
5. Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved?
6. Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.
