        You will come with me from Lebanon,
            from Lebanon as my bride.
        You will travel with me
            from the peak of Mount Amana,
            from the mountain peaks in Senir and Hermon,
            from the lairs of lions,
            from the mountains of leopards.
        My bride, my sister, you have charmed me.[a]
        You have charmed me
            with a single glance from your eyes,
            with a single strand of your necklace.
10 How beautiful are your expressions of love, my bride, my sister!
    How much better are your expressions of love than wine
    and the fragrance of your perfume than any spice.
