Oh you were like a sister,
Nursing at my mother’s breast;
At times we had played twister,
Then would kiss you when you rest.
 
Nobody else would despise,
Would lead you into my house;
My mother making you wise,
Knowing you would be my spouse.
 
We would drink together wine,
The juice from pomegranate;
Eating grapes picked off the vine,
Sweetest taste on the planet.
 
Your left hand under my head,
And right hand embraces me;
Love between us quickly spread,
Within your eyes I could see.
 
I ask that you not stir up,
Awaken love till it pleases;
As we drank from the same cup,
A comfort that appeases.
 
Who comes from the wilderness,
As I lean on my dearest;
My mother saw togetherness,
A love as the sincerest.
 
We awakened under the tree,
My mother was in labor;
Bringing you forth I could see,
Being lover and neighbor.
 
Set me a seal in my heart,
As a seal upon my arm;
A strong love never depart,
A flame to guard from all harm.
 
Water cannot quench the love,
Neither can the floods drown;
As a blessing from above,
With you in a wedding gown.
 
If a man offered for love,
All of the wealth of his house;
He will be despised thereof,
Others jealous of his spouse.
