7 I shabai (swear / take oath) you, banawath (daughters) of Yarawashalam (Yarawashalam / Jerusalem), by the tzabaawath (roes), or by the ayalawath (hinds) of the shadah (field), that you not iwar (rouse / awaken) up, nor awaken ahabah (love), until it so chapatz (desires).

10 My dawad (beloved) inah (answer / respond), and amar (said) to me, “qawam (rise up) up, my raiyah (love), my yapah (beautiful) one, and yalak (come) away.
11 For, behold, the sathaw (winter) is past. The gasham (rain) is over and halak (move).
12 The natzanayam (flowers) raah (see / saw) on the aratz (Earth/land). The ith (time) of the qawal (sound / voice) has nagai (come), and the qawal (sound / voice) of the turtledove is shamai (hearken / hear) in our aratz (Earth/land).
13 The thaan (fig) tree ripens her pag (green) figs. The gapanayam (vines) are in blossom. They nathan (give) forth their fragrance. Qawam (rise up), my raiyah (love), my yapah (beautiful) one, and yalak (come) away. Lover.”
14 My yawanah (dove) in the chagaway (clefts) of the salai (rock), In the sathar (secret / hidden) madaragah (places) of the mountainside, raah (see / saw) me see your maraah (face). Shamai (hearken / hear) me hear your qawal (sound / voice); for your qawal (sound / voice) is irab (evening), and your maraah (face) is lovely.

16 My dawad (beloved) is mine, and I am his. He browses among the shawashanayam (lilies).
