3. Your perfume smells wonderful, but your name is sweeter than the best perfume. That is why the young women love you.
4. Take me with you. Let’s run away. The king took me into his room. We will rejoice and be happy for you. Remember, your love is better than wine. With good reason, the young women love you.
5. Daughters of Jerusalem, I am dark and beautiful, as black as the tents of Kedar and Salma.
6. Don’t look at how dark I am, at how dark the sun has made me. My brothers were angry with me. They forced me to take care of their vineyards, so I could not take care of myself.
7. I love you with all my soul! Tell me, where do you feed your sheep? Where do you lay them down at noon? I should come to be with you or I will be like a hired woman caring for the sheep of your friends.
