You are completely beautiful, my dear friend.
    Your body is perfect in every way.

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.
    Yes, come with me from Lebanon.
Come down from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir.
    Come down from the highest part of Hermon.[a]
Come away from those mountains where lions live,
    and where there are leopards.

A wedding night

I love you so much that I never want to leave you,
    my sister and my bride.[b]
When you looked at me only once
    and I saw one jewel in your necklace,
    I knew that I could never leave you.
