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.
The Woman

TSNTyndale Study Notes:

7:5-6 Mount Carmel is a high mountain range on the Mediterranean coast.
• your hair radiates royalty (literally your hair is as purple threads): Purple was an expensive color to produce, so it was the exclusive property of royalty.


UTNuW Translation Notes:

Note 1 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamation

מַה־יָּפִית֙

(Some words not found in UHB: head,your upon,you like_the,Carmel and,flowing_locks head,your like_the,purple king held_captive in/on/at/with,tresses )

See how you translated the similar phrase “You are beautiful” in 6:4.

Note 2 topic: figures-of-speech / exclamation

מַה־יָּפִית֙ וּ⁠מַה־נָּעַ֔מְתְּ

(Some words not found in UHB: head,your upon,you like_the,Carmel and,flowing_locks head,your like_the,purple king held_captive in/on/at/with,tresses )

In this phrase the word How is used as an exclamation to emphasize the beauty of the woman and then how is used as an exclamation to emphasize how lovely the woman is. Use an exclamation that is natural in your language for communicating the woman’s beauty and loveliness.

אַהֲבָ֖ה

(Some words not found in UHB: head,your upon,you like_the,Carmel and,flowing_locks head,your like_the,purple king held_captive in/on/at/with,tresses )

See the chapter seven introduction for information regarding an alternate translation of the word that the ULT translates as love.

Note 3 topic: figures-of-speech / explicit

אַהֲבָ֖ה בַּ⁠תַּֽעֲנוּגִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: head,your upon,you like_the,Carmel and,flowing_locks head,your like_the,purple king held_captive in/on/at/with,tresses )

The man is praising the delightfulness of romantic love. If it would be helpful to your readers, you could indicate that explicitly. Alternate translation: “romantic love has many delights” or “how delightful romantic love is” or “romantic love is very delightful”

Note 4 topic: figures-of-speech / abstractnouns

אַהֲבָ֖ה בַּ⁠תַּֽעֲנוּגִֽים

(Some words not found in UHB: head,your upon,you like_the,Carmel and,flowing_locks head,your like_the,purple king held_captive in/on/at/with,tresses )

If your language does not use an abstract noun for the idea of love, you could express the same idea with a verb as modeled by the UST, or in some other way that is natural in your language.
