Do Not Awaken Love Lyrics

Do not stir up or awaken love

Before it pleases

Take this oath by the gazelles and the does

I adjure you to keep it

I hear his voice

Over the mountains

Leaping and bounding

Here comes my beloved

He's outside my wall

Gazing through the window

Peeking through the lattice

Here is my beloved

Arise my love, my beautiful one

Come away the rain is now gone

The winter has passed, the flowers have come

At last

Hear the voice of the turtledoves

Fig trees ripen and vines blossom

The time for singing has finally come

At last

Do not stir up or awaken love

Before it pleases

Take this oath by the gazelles and the does

I adjure you to keep it

Do not stir up or awaken love

Before it pleases

Take this oath by the gazelles and the does

I adjure you to keep it

I hear her sweet voice

Rising out of the mountains

The cliffs and the crannies

Where is my beloved?

Let me see your face

For your face is so lovely

Let me graze on the lilies

Arise my beloved

Arise my love, my beautiful one

Come away the rain is now gone

The winter has passed, the flowers have come

At last

Catch the little foxes for us

Don't let them come between us my love

Our vineyard's fully come to blossom

At last

Do not stir up or awaken love

Before it pleases

Take this oath by the gazelles and the does

I adjure you to keep it

Do not stir up or awaken love

Before it pleases

Take this oath by the gazelles and the does

I adjure you to keep it

Until the day has breathed

And the shadows flee

I belong to him

He belongs to me, oh
