Taomy aho, dia hihazakazaka hanaraka anao izahay; Nentin'ny mpanjaka ho ao an-efi-tranony aho. Hifaly sy hiravoravo aminao izahay; Hankalazainay mihoatra noho ny divay ny fitiavanao; Fitiavana marina no itiavany anao.
Draw me, we will run after thee: the king hath brought me into his chambers: we will be glad and rejoice in thee, we will remember thy love more than wine: the upright love thee.
Aza mibanjina ahy, fa mivalomainty aho, satria efa azon'ny hainandro; Tezitra tamiko ny zanak'ineny; Notendreny ho mpiandry ny tanim-boalobony aho; Nefa ny tanim-boaloboko kosa, dia ny an'ny tenako, tsy mba nandrasako.
Look not upon me, because I am black, because the sun hath looked upon me: my mother's children were angry with me; they made me the keeper of the vineyards; but mine own vineyard have I not kept.
Lazao amiko, ry ilay tian'ny fanahiko, izay iandrasanao ny ondrinao, sy izay ampandrianao azy raha antoandro; Fa nahoana no ho tahaka izay mivezivezy foana aho Eny amin'ny andian'ny namanao?
Tell me, O thou whom my soul loveth, where thou feedest, where thou makest thy flock to rest at noon: for why should I be as one that turneth aside by the flocks of thy companions?
Raha tsy fantatrao, ry tsara tarehy indrindra amin'ny vehivavy, dia mandehana hanaraka ny andian'ny ondry aman'osy, ary andraso eny amin'ny lain'ny mpiandry ondry ny zanak'osinao.
If thou know not, O thou fairest among women, go thy way forth by the footsteps of the flock, and feed thy kids beside the shepherds' tents.
