Before the day breeze blows
        and the shadows flee,
        I will be off to the mountain of myrrh,
        to the hill of frankincense.
You are utterly beautiful, my dearest;
        there’s not a single flaw in you.

Garden of delight

[Man]

Come down with me from Lebanon, my bride—
        if only you would come down with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the peak of Amana,
        from the peaks of Senir and Hermon,
        from the lions’ dens,
        from the mountain lairs of leopards.

You are altogether beautiful,(C) my darling;
    there is no flaw(D) in you.

Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(E)
    come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
    from the top of Senir,(F) the summit of Hermon,(G)
from the lions’ dens
    and the mountain haunts of leopards.
