Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

ગુજરાતીગીતોનું ગીત ૧:૬
હું શ્યામ છું તેથી મારી સામે એકીટશે જોશો નહિ. કેમ કે સૂર્યએ મને બાળી નાખી છે. મારી માતાના દીકરાઓ મારા પર કોપાયમાન થયા હતા; તેઓએ મને દ્રાક્ષવાડીની રક્ષક બનાવી. પણ મારી પોતાની દ્રાક્ષવાડી મેં સંભાળી નથી.
हिन्दीश्रेष्ठगीत १:६
मुझे इसलिए न घूर कि मैं साँवली हूँ, क्योंकि मैं धूप से झुलस गई। मेरी माता के पुत्र मुझसे अप्रसन्न थे, उन्होंने मुझ को दाख की बारियों की रखवालिन बनाया; परन्तु मैंने अपनी निज दाख की बारी की रखवाली नहीं की!

5I am dark, but lovely, you daughters of Jerusalem, like Kedar’s tents, like Solomon’s curtains.

6Don’t stare at me because I am dark, because the sun has scorched me. My mother’s sons were angry with me. They made me keeper of the vineyards. I haven’t kept my own vineyard.

7Tell me, you whom my soul loves, where you graze your flock, where you rest them at noon; for why should I be as one who is veiled beside the flocks of your companions?

8If you don’t know, most beautiful among women, follow the tracks of the sheep. Graze your young goats beside the shepherds’ tents.
