I’m my beloved’s sweet

I’m my Beloved’s sweet;

His desire is for me.

Come

let us go forth into the fields;

In love

together

let’s

Lodge in the villages

Enjoy the love twixt You and me.

Let’s rise at dawn’s first hue

See the vineyards

I and You

Enjoy together our labor’s fruit;

See if the vine has bloomed

The pomegranates

too;

There I will give my love to You.

Mandrakes with sweet perfume

Choicest fruits

both old and new

These

my Beloved

I’ve stored up for You;

My love belongs to You

And I’ll enjoy You

too;

Love’s strong as death twixt me and You.
