UTN uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

יָ֭פְיָ⁠הּ

beauty,her

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of beauty, you could express the same idea in another way, as in the UST.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

בִּ⁠לְבָבֶ֑⁠ךָ

in/on/at/with,heart,your

See how you translated the same use of heart in 2:2.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

וְ⁠אַל־תִּ֝קָּֽחֲ⁠ךָ֗

and,not capture,you

Here Solomon refers to a woman seducing a man as if she could take him. If it would be helpful in your language, you could express the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “and do not let her tempt you”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

בְּ⁠עַפְעַפֶּֽי⁠הָ

in/on/at/with,eyelashes,her

This phrase refers to a woman using her eyelashes to look more attractive and seduce a man. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state this explicitly or use an expression that has the same meaning in your language. Alternate translation: “by glancing seductively”
