like,lily between the,thorns yes/correct/thus/so darling,my between the,maidens
The man compares the woman he loves to a lily among thorns. The point of this comparison is that in the same way that a lily is much more beautiful than thorns so the woman is much more beautiful than the other young women. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use an equivalent comparison or express this meaning in plain language. Alternate translation: “You my darling, are much more beautiful than all other women”
Note 2 topic: translate-unknown
כְּשֽׁוֹשַׁנָּה֙
like,lily
See how you translated the word lily in 2:1
רַעְיָתִ֖י
darling,my

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit
הַבָּנֽוֹת
the,maidens
Here, the phrase the daughters refers to the daughters of Jerusalem mentioned in 1:5 and probably refers not just to the young women of Jerusalem but also to all women. If it would help your readers you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “the young women of Jerusalem” or “the other young women”
