我妹子，我新妇，我进了我的园中，采了我的没药和香料，吃了我的蜜房和蜂蜜，喝了我的酒和奶。朋友们哪，请吃；亲爱的啊，请喝，且多多地喝！
I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride; / I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; / I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; / I have drunk my wine with my milk. / Eat, O friends; / Drink, and drink deeply, O beloved ones!

我身睡卧，我心却醒。这是我良人的声音！他敲门说，我的妹子，我的佳偶，我的鸽子，我的完全人，求你给我开门；因我的头满了露水，我的头发有夜露滴落。
I sleep, but my heart is awake. / A sound! My beloved is knocking. / Open to me, my sister, my love, / My dove, my perfect one; / For my head is drenched with dew, / My locks with the drops of night.

我回答说，我脱了衣裳，怎能再穿上呢？我洗了脚，怎能再玷污呢？
I have put off my garment; / How can I put it on again? / I have washed my feet; / How can I dirty them again?

我的良人从门孔里伸进手来，我便因他动了心肠。
My beloved put his hand into the opening of the door, / And my inner parts yearned for him.

我起来，要给我良人开门；我的两手滴下没药，我的指头有没药汁滴在闩把上。
I rose up to open to my beloved; / And my hands dripped with myrrh, / My fingers with liquid myrrh, / Upon the handles of the bolt.

我给我的良人开了门；我的良人却已转身走了。他说话的时候，我魂不守舍；我寻找他，竟寻不见；我呼叫他，他却不回答。
I opened to my beloved, / But my beloved had withdrawn; he was gone. / My soul failed when he spoke; / I sought him, but found him not; / I called him — he answered me not.

城中巡逻看守的人遇见我，打了我，伤了我；看守城墙的人夺去我的帕子。
The watchmen who go about the city found me. / They struck me; they wounded me; / The keepers of the walls took my veil from me.

耶路撒冷的众女子啊，我郑重地嘱咐你们，若遇见我的良人，要告诉他什么呢？要告诉他，我因爱成病。
I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem, / If you find my beloved, / What shall you tell him? / That I am sick with love.

你这女子中极美丽的，你的良人比别人的良人有何强处？你的良人比别人的良人有何强处，你就这样郑重地嘱咐我们？
What is your beloved more than some other's beloved, / O you most beautiful among women? / What is your beloved more than some other's beloved, / That you adjure us so?

我的良人白而且红，超乎万人之上。
My beloved is dazzling white yet ruddy, / Distinguished among ten thousand.

他的头像至精的金子；他的头发鬈曲，黑如乌鸦。
His head is the finest gold; / His locks are wavy, / As black as a raven.

他的眼如溪水旁的鸽子，在奶中洗净，安得合式。
His eyes are like doves / Beside the streams of water, / Bathed in milk, / Fitly set.

他的两腮如香花畦，如香草台；他的嘴唇像百合花，滴下没药汁。
His cheeks are like a bed of spices, / Mounds of sweetly fragrant herbs; / His lips are lilies, / Dripping with liquid myrrh.

他的两手好像金管，镶嵌水苍玉；他的肚腹如同象牙作的，外面包着蓝宝石。
His hands are tubes of gold, / Set with beryl; / His belly is an ivory work, / Overlaid with sapphires.

他的两腿好像白玉石柱，安在金座上；他的形状如利巴嫩，佳美如香柏树。
His legs are pillars of white marble, / Set upon bases of gold; / His appearance is like Lebanon, / As excellent as the cedars.

他的口甘甜，他全然可爱。耶路撒冷的众女子啊，这是我的良人，这是我的朋友。
His mouth is sweetness itself, / And he is altogether desirable. / This is my beloved, and this is my friend, / O daughters of Jerusalem.
