1 Oh that you were my brother, who took milk from my mother's breasts! When I came to you in the street, I would give you kisses; yes, I would not be looked down on.

2 I would take you by the hand into my mother's house, and she would be my teacher. I would give you drink of spiced wine, drink of the pomegranate.

3 His left hand would be under my head, and his right hand about me.

4 I say to you, O daughters of Jerusalem, do not let love be moved till it is ready.

5 Who is this, who comes up from the waste places, resting on her loved one? It was I who made you awake under the apple-tree, where your mother gave you birth; there she was in pain at your birth.

6 Put me as a sign on your heart, as a sign on your arm; love is strong as death, and wrath bitter as the underworld: its coals are coals of fire; violent are its flames.

7 Much water may not put out love, or the deep waters overcome it: if a man would give all the substance of his house for love, it would be judged a price not great enough.

8 We have a young sister, and she has no breasts; what are we to do for our sister in the day when she is given to a man?

9 If she is a wall, we will make on her a strong base of silver; and if she is a door, we will let her be shut up with cedar-wood.

10 I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers; then was I in his eyes as one to whom good chance had come.

11 Solomon had a vine-garden at Baal-hamon; he let out the vine-garden to keepers; every one had to give a thousand bits of silver for its fruit.

12 My vine-garden, which is mine, is before me: you, O Solomon, will have the thousand, and those who keep the fruit of them two hundred.

13 You who have your resting-place in the gardens, the friends give ear to your voice; make me give ear to it.

14 Come quickly, my loved one, and be like a roe on the mountains of spice.

1 但愿你像我的兄弟， 像吃我母亲奶的兄弟。这样， 我在外面遇见你， 就可以吻你， 不会被人藐视。

2 我要引领你， 领你到我母亲家里去； 从小她就教导我。我要给你喝香酒。

3 他的左手托住我的头， 他的右手拥抱着我。

4 耶路撒冷的众女子啊！ 我恳求你们， 不要惊动他， 不要挑起他的爱情， 等它自发吧。

5 那从旷野上来， 靠在她爱人身旁的是谁呢？我在苹果树下唤醒了你； 在那里你的母亲怀了你； 在那里生育你的为你受生产的痛苦。

6 求你把我放在你心上如印记， 把我带在你臂上如戳印； 因为爱情像死亡一般的坚强； 嫉妒如阴间一般的坚稳； 它的烈焰是火的烈焰， 是非常猛烈的火焰。

7 爱情， 众水不能熄灭， 洪流不能淹没； 如果有人拿自己家里所有的财产去换取爱情， 就必被藐视。

8 我们有一个小妹妹， 她的两乳还未发育完全； 有人来提亲的时候， 我们当为她怎样办理呢？

9 她若是墙， 我们就要在她上面建造银塔； 她若是门， 我们就要用香柏木板围护她。

10 我是墙， 我的两乳像其上的塔； 我在他的眼中像寻得安乐的人。

11 所罗门在巴力．哈们有个葡萄园； 他把这葡萄园租给看守的人， 各人要为葡萄园所得的果子付一万一千四百克银子。

12 我自己的葡萄园却在我面前， 所罗门哪， 一万一千四百克归给你， 二千二百八十克归给那些看守果子的人。

13 你这住在园中的啊！ 我的同伴都在细听你的声音； 愿你使我也听见。

14 我的良人哪！ 愿你快来， 像羚羊或小鹿， 在香草山上！
