1.
I see no one in this world as beautiful as my Beloved;
and I know I never will.
Beautiful Immanuel,
while I journey through this world,
will I ever turn away from You
and choose those who are unworthy instead?
My Beloved, I will never give up the precious treasure
just for the sake of this earthly world.
2.
He is beautiful in every way,
the One who redeemed me.
I gladly surrender to Him
all the comforts and pleasures I could ever have.
3.
Daughters of Jerusalem,
even if you surround me day and night
and try to steal away my love
for my Beloved—
4.
Even if the glory and attractions
of worldly comforts
call out to me with all their charm—
5.
Even if the fleeting pleasures of the flesh
shine before me like bubbles upon the water—
6.
My love for my Beloved keeps growing.
I live each day counting the days
until I can finally be with Him.
