My beloved is mine and I am his,
The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.
Who is this, rising up from the desert
Who is she, rising up?
Perfumed with myrrh and frankincense
Myrrh and frankincense.
My beloved is mine and I am his,
The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.
You have captured my heart, my sister, my bride.
You have captured my heart, my bride.
My beloved is mine and I am his,
The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies..
Awaken, north wind, and come, south wind.
My beloved is mine and I am his,
The shepherd [grazing his flock] among the lilies.
