Come with me from Lebanon,[a](A) my bride;(B)
come with me from Lebanon!
Descend from the peak of Amana,
from the summit of Senir and Hermon,(C)
from the dens of the lions,
from the mountains of the leopards.
You have captured my heart,(D) my sister,(E) my bride.
You have captured my heart with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.
10 How delightful your caresses are, my sister, my bride.
Your caresses are much better than wine,(F)
and the fragrance of your perfume than any balsam.
11 Your lips drip sweetness like the honeycomb, my bride.(G)
Honey and milk(H) are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
