¹O, gadis yang anggun, manis benar kakimu dengan sandal itu. Lengkung pahamu seperti perhiasan, karya seorang seniman.

¹How beautiful are thy feet in sandals, O prince's daughter! Thy rounded thighs are like jewels, The work of the hands of a skilful workman.

²Pusarmu seperti cawan bulat yang tak pernah kekurangan anggur campur. Perutmu bagaikan timbunan gandum, dikelilingi bunga-bunga bakung.

²Thy body is [like] a round goblet, [Wherein] no mingled wine is wanting: Thy waist is [like] a heap of wheat Set about with lilies.

³Buah dadamu laksana dua anak rusa, kijang kembar dua.

³Thy two breasts are like two fawns That are twins of a roe.

⁴Lehermu seperti menara gading. Matamu bagaikan kolam-kolam di Hesybon, dekat pintu gerbang Batrabim. Hidungmu seperti menara di Gunung Libanon, yang menghadap ke kota Damsyik.

⁴Thy neck is like the tower of ivory; Thine eyes [as] the pools in Heshbon, By the gate of Bath-rabbim; Thy nose is like the tower of Lebanon Which looketh toward Damascus.

⁵Kepalamu bagaikan bukit Karmel; rambutmu yang dikepang seperti lembayung, mempesonakan bahkan seorang raja.

⁵Thy head upon thee is like Carmel, And the hair of thy head like purple; The king is held captive in the tresses [thereof].

⁶Sungguh cantik jelita engkau, yang tercinta di antara yang disenangi.

⁶How fair and how pleasant art thou, O love, for delights!

⁷Tubuhmu seanggun pohon kurma, buah dadamu gugusan buahnya.

⁷This thy stature is like to a palm-tree, And thy breasts to its clusters.

⁸Ingin aku memanjat pohon kurma itu, dan memperoleh buah-buahnya. Kiranya buah dadamu seperti gugusan buah anggur, napasmu seharum buah apel,

⁸I said, I will climb up into the palm-tree, I will take hold of the branches thereof: Let thy breasts be as clusters of the vine, And the smell of thy breath like apples,

⁹mulutmu semanis air anggur!

⁹And thy mouth like the best wine, That goeth down smoothly for my beloved, Gliding through the lips of those that are asleep.

¹⁰Aku milik kekasihku, ia menginginkan aku.

¹⁰I am my beloved's; And his desire is toward me.

¹¹Mari kita ke padang, kekasihku, dan bermalam di ladang di tengah-tengah bunga pacar.

¹¹Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field; Let us lodge in the villages.

¹²Mari kita pagi-pagi ke kebun, dan melihat apakah pohon anggur sudah berkuncup, dan bunganya sudah mekar; apakah pohon delima sudah berbunga. Di sana akan kuberi cintaku kepadamu.

¹²Let us get up early to the vineyards; Let us see whether the vine hath budded, [And] its blossom is open, [And] the pomegranates are in flower: There will I give thee my love.

¹³Pohon arak harum semerbak baunya, di dekat pintu kita ada buah-buahan lezat, yang sudah lama dipetik dan yang baru; itu kusimpan bagimu, kekasihku.

¹³The mandrakes give forth fragrance; And at our doors are all manner of precious fruits, new and old, Which I have laid up for thee, O my beloved.
