OET (OET-RV)I’m asleep, but my heart is awake.

 ⇔ because my head is full of dew—
 ⇔ my hair is wet with the night dampness.”

uW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / metonymy

אֲנִ֥י יְשֵׁנָ֖ה וְ⁠לִבִּ֣⁠י עֵ֑ר

I slept and,heart_of,my awake

Here the term heart could represent: (1) the woman’s thoughts and mental awareness which would make the phrase my heart is awake mean that her mind is alert and dreaming while she is sleeping. Alternate translation: [I am asleep, but my mind is dreaming] or [I am asleep, but my mind is alert and dreaming] (2) the woman’s entire person which would make the phrase my heart is awake mean that she had been awakened after falling asleep or awakened after she was almost asleep. Alternate translation: [I was almost asleep, now I am awakened] or [I was asleep, but now I have been awakened]

ק֣וֹל ׀ דּוֹדִ֣⁠י דוֹפֵ֗ק

sound/voice beloved_of,my knocking

Alternate translation: [I hear a sound; it is my beloved knocking] or [I hear a sound; it is the sound of my beloved knocking on my door]

דּוֹדִ֣⁠י

beloved_of,my

See how you translated the phrase my beloved in [1:13](../01/13.md). Alternate translation: [my lover]

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֲחֹתִ֤⁠י רַעְיָתִ⁠י֙

sister_of,my darling_of,my

See how you translated the phrase my sister in [4:9](../04/09.md) and the phrase my darling in [1:9](../01/09.md).

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

יוֹנָתִ֣⁠י

dove_of,my

See how you translated the phrase my dove in [2:14](../02/14.md).

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / idiom

שֶׁ⁠רֹּאשִׁ⁠י֙ נִמְלָא־טָ֔ל

for,head_of,my drenched dew

Here the phrase full of is a Hebrew expression which means “wet with.” If this phrase does not have that meaning in your language, you could use a comparable expression from your language that does have that meaning or you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: [because my head is wet with dew]

Note 5 topic: figures-of-speech / ellipsis

קְוֻּצּוֹתַ֖⁠י

hair_of,my

The writer is leaving out some of the words that in many languages a sentence would need to be complete. You could supply the words is full of from the previous phrase if it would be clearer to your readers.

TSN Tyndale Study Notes:

5:2–6:3 One verse earlier, the couple are fully enjoying their intimate union. Now the woman feels the torment of separation. In the dramatic interpretation, the woman has been separated from the man twice before and has searched for him (1:4-7; 3:1-4). This last time, the separation takes place in her dreams—it is only a nightmare. Her dream seems to extend to 6:3, given the natural flow of questions and answers between the woman and the young women of Jerusalem.
• If the Song is an anthology, these poems explore love rather than giving accounts of actual events. This poem reminds us that an intimate relationship is not always easy or perfectly satisfying.

5:2 I slept, but my heart was awake: This is an apt definition of a dream; she was physically asleep, but emotionally and psychologically awake.
• my lover knocking . . . “Open to me”: Opening doors is a metaphor for sexual activity in the ancient Near East (see also 8:9). By describing the man as knocking at the door and requesting entry, the poem suggests that the man is requesting sexual union. He awaits permission; he does not presume.

5:2 OSHB note: We agree with both BHS 1997 and BHQ on an unexpected reading.

OET (OET-RV)I’m asleep, but my heart is awake.
 ⇔ A sound—my dearest is knocking.
 ⇔ “Open to me, my girlfriend, my darling, my dove, my perfect one,
 ⇔ because my head is full of dew—
 ⇔ my hair is wet with the night dampness.”

Note: The OET-RV is still only a first draft, and so far only a few words have been (mostly automatically) matched to the Hebrew or Greek words that they’re translated from.

Acknowledgements: The Hebrew text, lemmas, and morphology are all thanks to the OSHB and some of the glosses are from Macula Hebrew.
