You grew up like a cedar in Lebanon
Like a cypress on the Hermon Mountains 1
Like a majestic olive tree in the plain
You grew up like a planar
Like palm in Engaddi 2
And roses in Jericho
It is lush as a flash of fire
Fire that inebriates me
You smell like cinnamon myrrh onyx storace
And between a thousand and a thousand I would recognize you
Tell me, my sweetheart, where it is hiding
Where is the water that will quench my thirst?
Tell me, my dear, my lover's secret
The secret that binds you to me.
You are sweeter and more beautiful than virgin honey
And it is the perfume of the sound of his name
Like the salt in Engaddi
Salt as a powder
You smell like cinnamon myrrh onyx storace
And between a thousand and a thousand I would recognize you
Tell me, my soul, the fear of the lover
Of the lover looking for you in me
Tell me, my dear, how to be born from nothing
If I do not have anything but you, please stay with me
Tell me, my soul, how to be born from nothing
If I do not have anything but you, please stay with me
Tell me, my dear, my lover's secret
Of the lover who stays with me
