¹How beautiful are your feet in sandals, prince’s daughter! Your rounded thighs are like jewels, the work of the hands of a skillful workman.

¹Khedap tungneilou ah na khepekte kilawm hina mahmah e, Aw lal tanu: Na pheipi guhtuahte suangmantam bang ahi ua, nasemmi pil khut nasep bang.

²Your body is like a round goblet, no mixed wine is wanting. Your waist is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.

²Na lai nou bem bang ahi, huaiah uain hel a kitasam ngei keia: na gilpi huit-buh bum lili pak siat dim a bang hi.

³Your two breasts are like two fawns, that are twins of a roe.

³Na nawite zuktal nou nih phikte a bang ua.

⁴Your neck is like an ivory tower. Your eyes are like the pools in Heshbon by the gate of Bathrabbim. Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon which looks toward Damascus.

⁵Your head on you is like Carmel. The hair of your head like purple. The king is held captive in its tresses.

⁷This, your stature, is like a palm tree, your breasts like its fruit.

⁷Hiai na san dan tum sing bang ahia, na nawite grep gah bomte bang.

⁸I said, “I will climb up into the palm tree. I will take hold of its fruit.” Let your breasts be like clusters of the vine, the smell of your breath like apples, Beloved

⁸Tum singah ka kal tou dinga, huai ahiangte ka len ding, ka chi a: na nawite grepgui gahbom bang hi henla, huan na nawi gim apul bang;
