Scene 1 – The women's quarters in the palace - Night
The Shulamít, who has been living in the palace for a while now,
tells the Daughters of Jerusalem of her recurring dream
The Shulamít:
א עַל־מִשְׁכָּבִי֙ בַּלֵּיל֔וֹת בִּקַּ֕שְׁתִּי אֵ֥ת שֶֽׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו
1. On my bed by night I sought him whom my soul loved, I sought him but I couldn't find him.
ב אָק֨וּמָה נָּ֜א וַאֲסֽוֹבְבָ֣ה בָעִ֗יר בַּשְּׁוָקִים֙ וּבָ֣רְחֹב֔וֹת אֲבַקְשָׁ֕ה אֵ֥ת שֶֽׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י בִּקַּשְׁתִּ֖יו וְלֹ֥א מְצָאתִֽיו
2. "I must get up and go around the city, through the marketplaces and streets,
I will seek him whom my soul loved..." I sought him but I did not find him.
ג מְצָא֨וּנִי֙ הַשֹּׁ֣מְרִ֔ים הַסֹּֽבְבִ֖ים בָּעִ֑יר אֵ֛ת שֶֽׁאָהֲבָ֥ה נַפְשִׁ֖י רְאִיתֶֽם
3. They found me, the watchmen who patrol the city.
"Have you seen him whom my soul loved?"
ד כִּמְעַט֙ שֶֽׁעָבַ֣רְתִּי מֵהֶ֔ם עַ֣ד שֶׁמָּצָ֔אתִי אֵ֥ת שֶֽׁאָהֲבָ֖ה נַפְשִׁ֑י
אֲחַזְתִּיו֙ וְלֹ֣א אַרְפֶּ֔נּוּ עַד־שֶׁ֤הֲבֵיאתִיו֙ אֶל־בֵּ֣ית אִמִּ֔י וְאֶל־חֶ֖דֶר הֽוֹרָתִֽי
4. I had almost passed them by when I found him whom my soul loved,
I held him and I won't let him go until I've brought him to my mother's house
and to the room of she who bore me.
ה הִשְׁבַּ֨עְתִּי אֶתְכֶ֜ם בְּנ֤וֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִַ֨ם֙ בִּצְבָא֔וֹת א֖וֹ בְּאַיְל֣וֹת הַשָּׂדֶ֑ה
אִם־תָּעִ֧ירוּ ׀ וְֽאִם־תְּע֥וֹרְר֛וּ אֶת־הָאַֽהֲבָ֖ה עַ֥ד שֶׁתֶּחְפָּֽץ {ס}
5. Swear to me, Daughters of Jerusalem, by gazelles or by does of the field,
that you will not awaken nor arouse love until it so desires.

Scene 2 – The palace, looking out the window from a main hall – Day
The Shulamít returns, glowing, from a rendezvous with the Shepherd
and is spotted by the men and women of the palace,
who wonder how she managed to escape – they blame one another
The King's Men and the Daughters of Jerusalem:
ו מִ֣י זֹ֗את עֹלָה֙ מִן־הַמִּדְבָּ֔ר כְּתִֽימְר֖וֹת עָשָׁ֑ן מְקֻטֶּ֤רֶת מֹר֙ וּלְבוֹנָ֔ה מִכֹּ֖ל אַבְקַ֥ת רוֹכֵֽל?
6. Who is she, coming up from the desert like pillars of smoke,
scented with myrrh and frankincense and all the merchants' powders?
The Daughters of Jerusalem:
(teasing the King's Men)
ז הִנֵּ֗ה מִטָּתוֹ֙ שֶׁלִּשְׁלֹמֹ֔ה שִׁשִּׁ֥ים גִּבֹּרִ֖ים סָבִ֣יב לָ֑הּ מִגִּבֹּרֵ֖י יִשְׂרָאֵֽל
7. Behold Sh'lomó's bed! Sixty valiant men surround it, heroes of Israel!
ח כֻּלָּם֙ אֲחֻ֣זֵי חֶ֔רֶב מְלֻמְּדֵ֖י מִלְחָמָ֑ה אִ֤ישׁ חַרְבּוֹ֙ עַל־יְרֵכ֔וֹ מִפַּ֖חַד בַּלֵּילֽוֹת {ס}
8. All are armed with swords, versed in war!
Each man has his sword at his thigh for fear of the night!

The King's Men:
(teasing back)
ט אַפִּרְי֗וֹן עָ֤שָׂה לוֹ֙ הַמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֔ה מֵֽעֲצֵ֖י הַלְּבָנֽוֹן
9. King Sh'lomó has made himself a palanquin from the trees of Lebanon;
י עַמּוּדָיו֙ עָ֣שָׂה כֶ֔סֶף רְפִֽידָת֣וֹ זָהָ֔ב מֶרְכָּב֖וֹ אַרְגָּמָ֑ן תּוֹכוֹ֙ רָצ֣וּף אַֽהֲבָ֔ה מִבְּנ֖וֹת יְרֽוּשָׁלִָֽם
10. its pillars he made of silver, its chassis of gold, its couches of purple,
its interior inlaid with the love of the daughters of Jerusalem.
יא צְאֶ֧נָה ׀ וּֽרְאֶ֛ינָה בְּנ֥וֹת צִיּ֖וֹן בַּמֶּ֣לֶךְ שְׁלֹמֹ֑ה בָּֽעֲטָרָ֗ה שֶֽׁעִטְּרָה־לּ֤וֹ אִמּוֹ֙ בְּי֣וֹם חֲתֻנָּת֔וֹ וּבְי֖וֹם שִׂמְחַ֥ת לִבּֽוֹ {ס}
11. Go out and see, daughters of Zion,
King Sh'lomó in the crown with which his mother crowned him
on his wedding day and on the day of his heart's rejoicing.
