¹I am come into my garden, my sister, [my] bride: I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Eat, O friends; Drink, yea, drink abundantly, O beloved.

¹Aku datang ke kebunku, dinda, pengantinku, kukumpulkan mur dan rempah-rempahku; kumakan sarang lebah dan maduku, kuminum susu dan air anggurku.

²I was asleep, but my heart waked: It is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, [saying], Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; For my head is filled with dew, My locks with the drops of the night.

²Aku tidur, namun hatiku berjaga. Dengarlah, kekasihku mengetuk pintu.

³I have put off my garment; how shall I put it on? I have washed my feet; how shall I defile them?

³Bajuku sudah kulepaskan; apakah akan kupakai lagi? Kakiku sudah kubasuh, apakah akan kukotori lagi?

⁴My beloved put in his hand by the hole [of the door], And my heart was moved for him.

⁴Berdebar-debar hatiku karena kekasihku memegang gagang pintu.

⁵I rose up to open to my beloved; And my hands droppeth with myrrh, And my fingers with liquid myrrh, Upon the handles of the bolt.

⁵Maka bangunlah aku hendak membuka pintu bagi kekasihku. Mur menetes dari tangan dan jari-jariku, membasahi pegangan kancing pintu.

⁶I opened to my beloved; But my beloved had withdrawn himself, [and] was gone. My soul had failed me when he spake: I sought him, but I could not find him; I called him, but he gave me no answer.

⁶Kubukakan pintu bagi kekasihku, tetapi ia telah berbalik dan pergi. Aku sangat merindukan suaranya; kucari dia, tapi sia-sia. Kupanggil namanya, tapi ia tak menyahut.

⁷The watchmen that go about the city found me, They smote me, they wounded me; The keepers of the walls took away my mantle from me.

⁷Aku ditemui para peronda kota; mereka memukul dan melukai aku, selendangku mereka ambil dengan paksa.

⁸I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, If ye find my beloved, That ye tell him, that I am sick from love.

⁸Berjanjilah, hai putri-putri Yerusalem, bila kamu menemukan kekasihku, kabarkanlah kepadanya, bahwa aku sakit asmara.

⁹What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, O thou fairest among women? What is thy beloved more than [another] beloved, That thou dost so adjure us?

⁹Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, hai gadis yang paling jelita? Apakah kekasihmu melebihi kekasih-kekasih lain, sehingga engkau menyuruh kami berjanji?

¹⁰My beloved is white and ruddy, The chiefest among ten thousand.

¹⁰Kekasihku gagah dan tampan, unggul di antara sepuluh ribu orang.

¹¹His head is [as] the most fine gold; His locks are bushy, [and] black as a raven.

¹¹Kepalanya seperti emas, emas murni, rambutnya berombak dan hitam, sehitam gagak.

¹²His eyes are like doves beside the water-brooks, Washed with milk, [and] fitly set.

¹²Matanya bagaikan merpati pada mata air, merpati bermandi susu, duduk di tepi kolam.

¹³His cheeks are as a bed of spices, [As] banks of sweet herbs: His lips are [as] lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.

¹³Pipinya seperti kebun rempah yang wangi, bibirnya bunga bakung yang meneteskan mur asli.

¹⁴His hands are [as] rings of gold set with beryl: His body is [as] ivory work overlaid [with] sapphires.

¹⁴Tangannya elok, bercincin emas dengan permata, tubuhnya bagaikan gading bertatah batu nilam.

¹⁵His legs are [as] pillars of marble, set upon sockets of fine gold: His aspect is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.

¹⁵Kakinya seperti tiang-tiang marmer putih, dengan alas emas murni. Perawakannya segagah gunung-gunung di Libanon, dan seanggun pohon aras.

¹⁶His mouth is most sweet; Yea, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, O daughters of Jerusalem.

¹⁶Teramat manis tutur katanya, segala sesuatu padanya menarik. Begitulah kekasih dan sahabatku, hai putri-putri Yerusalem!
