5 I am dark, but lovely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
Like the curtains of Solomon.
6 Do not look upon me, because I am dark,
Because the sun has1 tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own avineyard I have not kept.
Because the sun has1 tanned me.
My mother’s sons were angry with me;
They made me the keeper of the vineyards,
But my own avineyard I have not kept.
