Come with me from (A)Lebanon, my (B)bride,
May you come with me from Lebanon.
[a]Journey down from the top of (C)Amana,
From the top of (D)Senir and Hermon,
From the dens of lions,
From the mountains of leopards.
You have made my heart beat faster, (E)my sister, my bride;
You have made my heart beat faster with a single glance of your eyes,
With a single strand of your (F)necklace.
10 (G)How beautiful is your love, my sister, my bride!
How much (H)better is your love than wine,
And the (I)fragrance of your oils
Than all kinds of [b]spices!
11 Your lips, my bride, (J)drip (K)honey from the comb;
Honey and milk are under your tongue,
And the fragrance of your garments is like the (L)fragrance of Lebanon.

The Man

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.
With me from Lebanon, come.
Descend from the top of Amana,
from the top of Senir and Hermon,
from the lions’ dens,
and from the mountains of the leopards.

You have stirred my heart, my sister, my bride.
You have stirred my heart
    with one, just one of your eyes,
    with one jewel of your necklace.

10 How delightful it is to experience your love,
    my sister, my bride!
How much better is your love than wine,
and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice!
11 Your lips drip like a honeycomb, my bride.
Honey and milk are under your tongue.
The fragrance of your garments
    is like the fragrance of Lebanon.
