Your anointing oils have a wonderful fragrance;
your name is like anointing oil poured out.
This is why young women love you —
“Take me with you. We will run after you.”
The king has brought me into his rooms.

[Chorus]

We will be glad and rejoice for you.
We will praise your love more than wine.
How right it is for them to love you!

[She]

I am dark tan but beautiful,
you daughters of Yerushalayim,
like the tents of Kedar,
like the curtains of Shlomo.
