Drunk with love (from Song of Solomon)

Let him smother me with kisses

His Spirit kiss divine

I long for your caresses

To drink them down like wine

For all the maidens gaze at him

And why would they not?

But only I belong to him

He is all I love

My lover, please don’t gaze at me

The sun has burned its mark

Your name is oil poured over me

Flooding through my heart

To me you are an apple tree

I relish your sweet taste

With joy you overshadow me

I blossom in your shade

Oh Daughters of Jerusalem

Don’t arouse my love

Until it wakes up from its sleep

As naturally it does

How breathtaking your fragrance

Intoxicating and divine

You’re fairer thanten thousand

I’m yours and you are mine

And I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

My lover says he’ll take me where

My soul he will hide

I long for him to take me there

The stairway to the sky

To the Crest of Amana

The archway of trust

Together, we will run away.

And fly like doves

I heard my lover at my door

I recognised his song

But how was he expecting

My heart to respond?

I roused myself to answer him

But then he was gone

My emotions were in such a mess

I was undone

Cos I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

I searched the city everywhere

For the one I loved

The watchmen were unkind to me

They beat me up

But as the dark gave way to dawn

I saw his face

I’m never going to fall away

From his embrace

Now I’m with him in our wedding car

The watching crowd are buoyed

Oh how magnificent you are

We can’t contain our joy

We’re seated in his palanquin

Adorned with purest gold

Forever he’ll be reigning in

My heart and my soul

Oh I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

Let him smother me with kisses

Spirit kiss divine

I long for your caresses

To drink them down like wine

All the maidens gaze at him

Why would they not?

But only I belong to him

He is all I love

I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love

I’m drunk with love
