You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
2 “Na sasagesu dunu da ea ifabia (amogawi ‘bolosame’ ifa da heda: la) amoga asi dagoi. E da amogawi ea sibi wa: i amoma ha: i manu iana amola ‘lili’ mosoi gagadolala.
The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
3 Na sasagesu dunu da na: Amola na da ea: E da ‘lili’ bugi amo ganodini ea sibi wa: i amoma ha: i manu iana.” Dunu da amane sia: i,
I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
4 “Na dogolegei! Di da Yelusaleme moilai bai bagade amola Disa moilai bai bagade defele, noga: idafa ba: sa. Dunu da amo moilai bai bagade ela hahalogoboi ba: sea, fofogadigiba: le, habe ha: sa. Amola dia isisima: goi ba: sea, agoaiwane hamosa.
My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
5 Dia si hamega ba: legama! Dia si da na gagulaligisa! Dia dialuma hinabo da goudi wa: i amo da Gilia: de agologa soagagala: ahoa agoane giginisa dabe ba: sa.
Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
6 Dia bese da sibi amo da hinabo waha dodofei agoane ba: sa. Afae da hame gumi ba: sa. Ilia huluane da defele dadalei ba: sa.
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
7 Dia ba: da dia odagi dedebosu abula baligiadili da nenemegisa.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Defea! Hina bagade da uda 60 lamu da defea. Amola gidisedagi uda 80 amola uda afini idimu hamedei lamu da defea.
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 Be na da afae fawane ni dogolegesa. Amola amo da ‘dafe’ sio defele, isisima: goi ba: sa. E da ea: me ea dogolegei uda mano afae fawane gala. Uda huluane ema ba: le nodone sia: sa. Hina bagade uda ilia, amola gidi sedagi uda ilia da e nodoma: ne gesami hea: sa.
[none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
10 Amo da nowala: ? Ea ba: la ahoabe da eso mabe agoai ba: sa. E da isisima: goi amola hadigi. E da eso amola oubi agoai, si nenemegini, ba: mu gogolei.
Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
11 Na da ‘amode’ ifa bugi bobodole ganodini amo nono heda: i amola lubi gaheabolo efega lai amola ‘bomigala: nidi’ ifa amo ea mosoi ba: la misi dagoi.
I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
12 Na da yagugubi. Sa: liode genonesisu dunu da gegemusa: hanai gala, amo defele na da dima sasagesu hou hamomu hanai.” Yelusaleme uda ilia da amane sia: i,
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
