the,henna_blossoms

The phrase henna blossoms refers to pleasant-smelling blossoms from the henna plant. If your readers would not be familiar with this plant, you could use the name of a fragrant plant in your area, you could explain that henna is a plant that produces clusters of fragrant blossoms, or you could use a general expression. Alternate translation: “fragrant flowers” or “fragrant blossoms from the henna plant”

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / metaphor

אֶשְׁכֹּ֨ל הַ⁠כֹּ֤פֶר ׀ דּוֹדִ⁠י֙ לִ֔⁠י בְּ⁠כַרְמֵ֖י עֵ֥ין גֶּֽדִי

cluster the,henna_blossoms beloved,my to=me in/on/at/with,vineyards עֵין גֶּֽדִי

Here, the phrase the vineyards of Engedi refers to one of the most beautiful places in Israel, and the henna blossoms there were famous for their exquisite fragrance. In this verse, the woman makes a comparison between the pleasurable experience of the smell of henna blossoms and her enjoyment of having the man she loves near her body. If it would be helpful in your language, you could use a simile or state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “The presence of my lover gives me feelings of pleasure” or “I delight in my beloved being near me like I delight in the smell of the henna flowers in the vineyards of En Gedi”
