Song of Solomon 8:1-3

Good News Translation

8 I wish that you were my brother,
    that my mother had nursed you at her breast.
Then, if I met you in the street,
    I could kiss you and no one would mind.
² I would take you to my mother's house,
    where you could teach me love.
I would give you spiced wine,
    my pomegranate wine to drink.

³ Your left hand is under my head,
    and your right hand caresses me.
