Full sung version coming soon.
Lyrics
Where has your beloved gone You fairest amongst women
Where has your beloved turned That we may seek him with you My beloved has gone down to his garden To the beds of spices
To pasture his flock in the gardens And to gather lilies I am my beloved’s And my beloved is mine
He browses amongst the lilies You are beautiful my love as Tirzah Lovely as Jerusalem Awesome as an army with banners
Turn away your eyes from me For they have overcome me Your hair is like a flock of goats That lie along the side of Gilead
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes Which have come up from the washing Your temples are like a piece of pomegranate Behind your veil
There are sixty queens eighty concubines And virgins without number My dove my perfect one is unique She is her mother’s only daughter
She is the favourite one of her who bore her The daughters saw her and called her blessed The queens and the concubines saw her And they praised her
Who is she who looks out as the morning Beautiful as the moon Clear as the sun Awesome as an army with banners
I went down into the nut tree grove To see the green plants of the valley Fair as the moon
