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.

ClVg Umbilicus tuus crater tornatilis, numquam indigens poculis. Venter tuus sicut acervus tritici vallatus liliis.[fn]

7.2 Umbilicus. Id est, infirmitas nostræ mortalitatis fit crater, quando infirmitatem nostram in nobis experti, ut alii per nos recognoscant, laboramus, vel aliquando eleemosynas damus. Tornatilis, id est rotundus et perfectus: qui enim ob id dat potum sitienti, vel calicem divini verbi porrigit erranti, ut a Deo remuneratore vel terrenam sapientiam exspectet: hujus crater non est torno factus, quia opus misericordiæ, quod fecit, non causa suæ fragilitatis erigendæ ad Deum fecit, sed terrenam mercedem requirit. Venter tuus. Venter noster acervus est tritici, cum memores nostræ fragilitatis, fructus bonorum operum, quibus perpetuo reficiamur, in præsenti vita nobis præparamus. Venter tuus. Quamvis sit inferior gradus, tamen triticea refectio erit Deo, quia in imo multi, in superiori pauci, non tamen dicimus in imo, id est, in peccato. Acervus. In imo latior, in summo angustior crescit. Sic et in nostris actionibus, quæ quanto altioris sunt meriti, tanto pauciores sui operarios inveniunt. In inferioribus plures sunt operarii. Multi de possessionibus eleemosynas tribuunt, pauci sunt qui possessiones relinquunt. Possunt in acervo tritici eleemosynæ, quas pauperibus erogamus, intelligi, et bene post craterem membra sponsæ acervo tritici comparantur, ut et potum et panem pauperibus dare signetur, quod et de corporali et spirituali refectione æque potest accipi. In apertis est doctrina poculum, in mysteriis est panis. Vallatus liliis. Cum omnia bona, quæ agimus, gratia videndæ æternæ claritatis gerimus. Et per hoc insidianti inimico aditum nostri cordis circumquaque obstruimus.

7:2 Between your thighs lies a mound of wheat (literally Your belly is like a mound of wheat): The man is either describing the woman’s smoothly rounded abdomen or her pubic mound.

(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful feet,your in/on/at/with,sandals daughter_of prince's curves thighs,your like jewels work hands master )
The man is speaking of the woman’s shapely navel as if it were a rounded bowl used for serving wine. The phrase that never lacks spiced wine describes what is inside the rounded bowl. It probably means that, as spiced wine excites the man and gives him joy, so her navel excites him and gives him joy. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could explain the comparison. Alternate translation: “Your navel is beautifully rounded and causes me to feel excited” or “Your navel is beautifully rounded like a wine bowl, and it causes me to feel excited like drinking spiced wine” or “Your navel is beautifully rounded like a bowl and gives me joy and excitement like when I drink spiced wine”
אַל־יֶחְסַ֖ר הַמָּ֑זֶג
(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful feet,your in/on/at/with,sandals daughter_of prince's curves thighs,your like jewels work hands master )
The phrase that the ULT translates as never lacks could be: (1) an assertion and therefore be translated as modeled by the ULT. (2) a strong wish. Alternate translation: “let it never lack spiced wine” or “may it never lack spiced wine”

(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful feet,your in/on/at/with,sandals daughter_of prince's curves thighs,your like jewels work hands master )
The phrase spiced wine refers to wine that is mixed with spices. If your readers would not be familiar with this type of wine, you could use the name of something similar in your area or you could use a more general term. Alternate translation: “wine that people have added spices to”
Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / exmetaphor
בִּטְנֵךְ֙ עֲרֵמַ֣ת חִטִּ֔ים סוּגָ֖ה בַּשּׁוֹשַׁנִּֽים
(Some words not found in UHB: what? beautiful feet,your in/on/at/with,sandals daughter_of prince's curves thighs,your like jewels work hands master )
The man is speaking of the woman’s belly as if it were a heap of wheat. The point is that, as wheat was a common food in Israel and was nourishing and satisfying to the appetite, so the woman satisfies him. He is also comparing the color and shape of her belly to wheat, since a heap of wheat is a golden beige or tan color and has a softly curved shape. The phrase encircled with the lilies describes the heap of wheat and probably means that, just as a heap of wheat encircled with the lilies looks beautiful, so her belly is beautiful. If it would be helpful in your language, you could state the meaning plainly. Alternate translation: “Your belly is as beautiful as a heap of wheat that is encircled with lilies, and it satisfies me” or “The shape and color of your belly is beautiful” or “Your belly is beautiful and satisfying”
