Song of Songs 1:3-5
EasyEnglish Bible
3 You have put perfume on your body.
It has a lovely smell.
The sound of your name causes pleasure everywhere,
like sweet perfume.
All the young women love you!
4 Take me away with you. Come quickly.
I want the king to take me into his rooms.[a]
The woman's friends:[b]
We are very happy!
You make us happy.
We praise your love,
because it is better than wine.
The young woman:
I agree! The young women are right to praise you like that.
5 Young women of Jerusalem, my skin is dark but I am beautiful.[c]
My skin is dark, like the tents of Kedar.
It is beautiful, like the curtains of King Solomon's tent.
