2 I sleep, but my heart waketh: it is the voice of my beloved that knocketh, saying, Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled: for my head is filled with dew, and my locks with the drops of the night.
2 Nalikuwa nimelala, lakini moyo wangu u macho, Sikiliza! Mpendwa wangu anabisha! Nifungulie, umbu langu, mpenzi wangu, Hua wangu, mkamilifu wangu, Kwa maana kichwa changu kimelowa umande, Nywele zangu zina manyunyu ya usiku.
