MSG(1-12)Shapely and graceful your sandaled feet,
  and queenly your movement—
Your limbs are lithe and elegant,
  the work of a master artist.
Your body is a chalice,
  wine-filled.
Your skin is silken and tawny
  like a field of wheat touched by the breeze.
Your breasts are like fawns,
  twins of a gazelle.
Your neck is carved ivory, curved and slender.
  Your eyes are wells of light, deep with mystery.
  Quintessentially feminine!
Your profile turns all heads,
  commanding attention.
The feelings I get when I see the high mountain ranges
  —stirrings of desire, longings for the heights—
Remind me of you,
  and I’m spoiled for anyone else!
Your beauty, within and without, is absolute,
  dear lover, close companion.
You are tall and supple, like the palm tree,
  and your full breasts are like sweet clusters of dates.
I say, “I’m going to climb that palm tree!
  I’m going to caress its fruit!”
Oh yes! Your breasts
  will be clusters of sweet fruit to me,
Your breath clean and cool like fresh mint,
  your tongue and lips like the best wine.

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:11-12 The woman suggests that they go together to check on the status of the vineyards and make love while there.

TTNTyndale Theme Notes:

Beauty in Nature

At the end of God’s work of Creation, God declared that everything he had made was “very good” (Gen 1:31). The beauty and wonder of God’s creation is often reflected on in Scripture, particularly in the psalms (see, e.g., Ps 8:3-4; Ps 104:1-35).

Nature—and imagery from nature—also features prominently in the Song of Songs. The man and woman in the Song often express sexual intimacy in the countryside (2:8-17; 4:12–5:1; 6:2-3, 11-12), a place of pleasant fragrances and secluded meeting places. The garden, vineyard, and orchard create intimate and pleasant settings and evoke a romantic mood. The mystique of nature provides them with the environment in which their love is the most rustic, and at the same time the most exotic and exhilarating. Additionally, the couple uses extensive metaphors from nature to describe each other’s physical attributes and their arousing effects. Their portrayal of each other leads them to use illustrations from God’

Nature points people to the Creator, as it contains evidence of his power, goodness, justice, and love (see Ps 19:1-4; Rom 1:18-20). God’s penchant for redemption, restoration, and new creation is also evidenced in many ways through the beauty of nature—for instance, in the changing of seasons, the growth of plants, and the birth of children.

Alternate translation: “Let us wake up early and go” or “Let us get up early and go”

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / go

נַשְׁכִּ֨ימָה֙

(Some words not found in UHB: come, beloved,my go_out the=field spend_the_night in/on/at/with,villages )

Your language may say “come” rather than go in contexts such as this. Use whichever is more natural. Alternate translation: “Let us come early”

פָּֽרְחָ֤ה הַ⁠גֶּ֨פֶן֙

(Some words not found in UHB: come, beloved,my go_out the=field spend_the_night in/on/at/with,villages )

See how you translated the similar phrase “had the vine budded” in 6:11.

הֵנֵ֖צוּ הָ⁠רִמּוֹנִ֑ים

(Some words not found in UHB: come, beloved,my go_out the=field spend_the_night in/on/at/with,villages )

See how you translated the similar phrase “Had the pomegranates bloomed” in 6:11.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אֶתֵּ֥ן אֶת־דֹּדַ֖⁠י לָֽ⁠ךְ

(Some words not found in UHB: come, beloved,my go_out the=field spend_the_night in/on/at/with,villages )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea with a verbal phrase as modeled by the UST or in some other way that is natural in your language. Alternate translation: “I will make love with you”
