Men: arise my love and come to me
the rain is gone the winter is past
the flowers appear the singing began
the voice of the dove is heard in our land

Women: let me hear your gentle voice
let me gaze upon your face
the vines have bloomed with fragrance sweet
the fruit has ripened taste and see

Chorus: many waters cannot quench love
nor can floods drown it
set me as a seal on your heart
a seal on your heart
for strong as death is love

Women: how beautiful you are to me
i am yours and you are mine
until day time breaks and shadows flee
turn my beloved turn to me

Men: how sweet your love your life to me
you captivate my heart my mind
delight my heart with your gentle gaze
enchant my soul with your beautiful ways

Chorus: many waters cannot quench love
nor can floods drown it
set me as a seal on your heart
a seal on your heart
for strong as death is love

Men: there you stand upon the hill
you gaze at me and I at you
across the mountain n over the sea
arise my beloved, come to me

Women: walk with me into the field
and there I'll give my love to you
arise my love and come to me
arise my beloved and you shall see

Chorus: many waters cannot quench love
nor can floods drown it
set me as a seal on your heart
a seal on your heart
for strong as death is love
