Darby Bible Translation

  • This is Solomon’s song of songs, more wonderful than any other.
    Young Womana
  • The Bride Confesses Her Love

    The song of songs, which is Solomon's.
  • Kiss me and kiss me again,
    for your love is sweeter than wine.
  • Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth; For thy love is better than wine.
  • How pleasing is your fragrance;
    your name is like the spreading fragrance of scented oils.
    No wonder all the young women love you!
  • Thine ointments savour sweetly; Thy name is an ointment poured forth: Therefore do the virgins love thee.
  • Take me with you; come, let’s run!
    The king has brought me into his bedroom.
    Young Women of Jerusalem
    How happy we are for you, O king.
    We praise your love even more than wine.
    Young Woman
    How right they are to adore you.
  • The Friends

    Draw me, we will run after thee! -- The king hath brought me into his chambers -- We will be glad and rejoice in thee, We will remember thy love more than wine. They love thee uprightly.
  • I am dark but beautiful,
    O women of Jerusalem —
    dark as the tents of Kedar,
    dark as the curtains of Solomon’s tents.
  • The Bride

    I am black, but comely, daughters of Jerusalem, As the tents of Kedar, As the curtains of Solomon.
  • Don’t stare at me because I am dark —
    the sun has darkened my skin.
    My brothers were angry with me;
    they forced me to care for their vineyards,
    so I couldn’t care for myself — my own vineyard.
  • Look not upon me, because I am black; Because the sun hath looked upon me. My mother's children were angry with me: They made me keeper of the vineyards; Mine own vineyard have I not kept.
  • Tell me, my love, where are you leading your flock today?
    Where will you rest your sheep at noon?
    For why should I wander like a prostituteb
    among your friends and their flocks?
    Young Man
  • Tell me, thou whom my soul loveth, Where thou feedest [thy flock], Where thou makest it to rest at noon; For why should I be as one veiled Beside the flocks of thy companions?
  • If you don’t know, O most beautiful woman,
    follow the trail of my flock,
    and graze your young goats by the shepherds’ tents.
  • Solomon Speaks

    If thou know not, thou fairest among women, Go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, And feed thy kids beside the shepherds' booths.
  • You are as exciting, my darling,
    as a mare among Pharaoh’s stallions.
  • I compare thee, my love, To a steed in Pharaoh's chariots.
  • How lovely are your cheeks;
    your earrings set them afire!
    How lovely is your neck,
    enhanced by a string of jewels.
  • Thy cheeks are comely with bead-rows, Thy neck with ornamental chains.
  • We will make for you earrings of gold
    and beads of silver.
    Young Woman
  • The Friends

    We will make thee bead-rows of gold With studs of silver.
  • The king is lying on his couch,
    enchanted by the fragrance of my perfume.
  • The Bride

    While the king is at his table, My spikenard sendeth forth its fragrance.

    lying between my breasts.

    from the vineyards of En-gedi.

    how beautiful!
    Your eyes are like doves.
    Young Woman
  • Solomon

    Behold, thou art fair, my love; Behold, thou art fair: thine eyes are doves.
  • You are so handsome, my love,
    pleasing beyond words!
    The soft grass is our bed;
  • The Bride

    Behold, thou art fair, my beloved, yea, pleasant; Also our bed is green.
  • fragrant cedar branches are the beams of our house,
    and pleasant smelling firs are the rafters.
  • Solomon

    The beams of our houses are cedars, Our rafters are cypresses.
