I am the rose of Sharon, and the lily of the valleys.

As the lily among thorns, so is my love among the daughters.

As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved among the sons. I sat down under his shadow with great delight, and his fruit was sweet to my taste.

He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love.

Stay me with flagons, comfort me with apples: for I am sick of love.

His left hand is under my head, and his right hand doth embrace me.

I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

The voice of my beloved! behold, he cometh leaping upon the mountains, skipping upon the hills.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

10 My beloved spake, and said unto me, Rise up, my love, my fair one, and come away.

11 For, lo, the winter is past, the rain is over and gone;

12 The flowers appear on the earth; the time of the singing of birds is come, and the voice of the turtle is heard in our land;

13 The fig tree putteth forth her green figs, and the vines with the tender grape give a good smell. Arise, my love, my fair one, and come away.

14 O my dove, that art in the clefts of the rock, in the secret places of the stairs, let me see thy countenance, let me hear thy voice; for sweet is thy voice, and thy countenance is comely.

15 Take us the foxes, the little foxes, that spoil the vines: for our vines have tender grapes.

16 My beloved is mine, and I am his: he feedeth among the lilies.

17 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, turn, my beloved, and be thou like a roe or a young hart upon the mountains of Bether.

She[a]

I am a rose[b](A) of Sharon,(B)
    a lily(C) of the valleys.

He

Like a lily among thorns
    is my darling among the young women.

She

Like an apple[c] tree among the trees of the forest
    is my beloved(D) among the young men.
I delight(E) to sit in his shade,
    and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(F)
Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(G)
    and let his banner(H) over me be love.
Strengthen me with raisins,
    refresh me with apples,(I)
    for I am faint with love.(J)
His left arm is under my head,
    and his right arm embraces me.(K)
Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(L)
    by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
    until it so desires.(M)

Listen! My beloved!
    Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
    bounding over the hills.(N)
My beloved is like a gazelle(O) or a young stag.(P)
    Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
    peering through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
    “Arise, my darling,
    my beautiful one, come with me.
11 See! The winter is past;
    the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
    the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
    is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;(Q)
    the blossoming(R) vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
    my beautiful one, come with me.”

He

14 My dove(S) in the clefts of the rock,
    in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
    let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
    and your face is lovely.(T)
15 Catch for us the foxes,(U)
    the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,(V)
    our vineyards that are in bloom.(W)

She

16 My beloved is mine and I am his;(X)
    he browses among the lilies.(Y)
17 Until the day breaks
    and the shadows flee,(Z)
turn, my beloved,(AA)
    and be like a gazelle
or like a young stag(AB)
    on the rugged hills.[d](AC)

Ella

Soy la flor de los llanos de Sarón,
soy la rosa de los valles.

Él

Mi amada es, entre las mujeres,
como una rosa entre los espinos.

Ella

Mi amado es, entre los hombres,
como un manzano entre los árboles del bosque.

¡Qué agradable es sentarme a su sombra!
¡Qué dulce me sabe su fruta!
Me llevó a la sala de banquetes
y sus miradas para mí fueron de amor.

¡Reanímenme con tortas de pasas,
aliméntenme con manzanas,
porque me muero de amor!
¡Que ponga él su izquierda bajo mi cabeza,
y que con su derecha me abrace!

Él

Prométanme, mujeres de Jerusalén,
por las gacelas y cervatillas del bosque,
no interrumpir el sueño de mi amor.
¡Déjenla dormir hasta que quiera despertar!

Segundo canto

Ella

¡Ya viene mi amado!
¡Ya escucho su voz!
Viene saltando sobre los montes,
viene saltando por las colinas.
Mi amado es como un venado:
como un venado pequeño.
¡Aquí está ya, tras la puerta,
asomándose a la ventana,
espiando a través de la reja!

10 Mi amado me dijo:
«Levántate, amor mío;
anda, cariño, vamos.
11 ¡Mira! El invierno ha pasado
y con él se han ido las lluvias.
12 Ya han brotado flores en el campo,
ya ha llegado el tiempo de cantar,
ya se escucha en nuestra tierra
el arrullo de las tórtolas.
13 Ya tiene higos la higuera,
y los viñedos esparcen su aroma.

»Levántate, amor mío;
anda, cariño, vamos.

14 »Paloma mía, que te escondes en las rocas,
en altos y escabrosos escondites,
déjame ver tu rostro,
déjame escuchar tu voz.
¡Es tan agradable el verte!
¡Es tan dulce el escucharte!»

Los dos

15 Atrapen las zorras, las zorras pequeñas
que arruinan nuestros viñedos,
nuestros viñedos en flor.

Ella

16 Mi amado es mío, y yo soy suya.
Él apacienta sus rebaños entre las rosas.

17 Mientras llega el día
y huyen las sombras,
vuelve, amado mío;
sé como un venado,
como un venado pequeño
por los montes escarpados.
