11 Come, my beloved! Let’s go out into the field.
    Let’s lodge in the villages.
12 Let’s go early up to the vineyards.
    Let’s see whether the vine has budded,
    its blossom is open,
    and the pomegranates are in flower.
    There I will give you my love.
13 The mandrakes produce fragrance.
    At our doors are all kinds of precious fruits, new and old,
    which I have stored up for you, my beloved.

11 Come, my love,
let’s go to the field;
let’s spend the night among the henna blossoms.[a]
12 Let’s go early to the vineyards;
let’s see if the vine has budded,
if the blossom has opened,
if the pomegranates are in bloom.(A)
There I will give you my caresses.
13 The mandrakes(B) give off a fragrance,
and at our doors is every delicacy,
both new and old.
I have treasured them up for you, my love.
