Song of Solomon 1:3-5

Good News Translation

³ There is a fragrance about you;
    the sound of your name recalls it.
    No woman could keep from loving you.
⁴ Take me with you, and we'll run away;
    be my king and take me to your room.
We will be happy together,
    drink deep, and lose ourselves in love.
    No wonder all women love you!
⁵ Women of Jerusalem, I am dark but^[a] beautiful,
    dark as the desert tents of Kedar,
    but beautiful as the draperies in Solomon's palace.
