Ой коли б же ти був мій братік рідний, що зо мною ссав груди в матері моєї! Тодї б я, й зустрівши тебе на улицї, тебе цїлувала, а мене б не суджено.

Your left arm would be under my head,
and your right arm would embrace me.

Хто се, спершись на милого, йде з пустинї? Ось де під яблонею розбудила я тебе: там породила тебе мати твоя, там привела на сьвіт тебе родителька твоя.
Зложи ж мене печаттю на серце в тебе, надїнь, як перстень, на руку собі; любов бо, як та смерть, кріпка; заздрість — як пекло, люта; стріли її — стріли огняні; вона — полумє страшно палаюче.

If a man tried to buy love
with all his wealth,
his offer would be utterly scorned.

Годї вгасити любови і водам премногим, та й ріки її не заллють. Хоч би за любов давав хто всї статки свого дому, то їх би відкинено згірдно.
