Do not stir up or awaken love
Before it pleases
Take this oath by the gazelles and the does
I adjure you to keep it
I hear his voice
Over the mountains
Leaping and bounding
Here comes my beloved
He's outside my wall
Gazing through the window
Peeking through the lattice
Here is my beloved
Arise my love, my beautiful one
Come away the rain is now gone
The winter has passed, the flowers have come
At last
Hear the voice of the turtledoves
Fig trees ripen and vines blossom
The time for singing has finally come
At last
Do not stir up or awaken love
Before it pleases
Take this oath by the gazelles and the does
I adjure you to keep it
Do not stir up or awaken love
Before it pleases
Take this oath by the gazelles and the does
I adjure you to keep it
I hear her sweet voice
Rising out of the mountains
The cliffs and the crannies
Where is my beloved?
Let me see your face
For your face is so lovely
Let me graze on the lilies
Arise my beloved
Arise my love, my beautiful one
Come away the rain is now gone
The winter has passed, the flowers have come
At last
Catch the little foxes for us
Don't let them come between us my love
Our vineyard's fully come to blossom
At last
Do not stir up or awaken love
Before it pleases
Take this oath by the gazelles and the does
I adjure you to keep it
Do not stir up or awaken love
Before it pleases
Take this oath by the gazelles and the does
I adjure you to keep it
Until the day has breathed
And the shadows flee
I belong to him
He belongs to me, oh
