Here's the English - hmmm - want to try an underlay? Let me know and I will send you a score.
1

I am the crocus of the plain, the lily of the
valley.
|
|
2
|
As a lily among thorns, so is my friend among the
daughters.
|
|
3
|
As an apricot tree among the trees of the wood,
so is my beloved among the sons;
in his shadow I was attracted and I sat, but his fruit was sweeter to my palate. |
|
4
|
He brought me to the wine house, and his banner
over me was love.
|
|
5
|
Support me with raisins, outspread me with
apricots,
for ah, I, I am writhing with love. |
|
6
|
His left hand is under my head, and his right
hand embraces me.
|
|
7
|
I have adjured You, daughters of Jerusalem, by
the hosts of gazelle or by the hearted dear hart of the field,
if you arouse or if you disturb this my love till it delight. |
|
8
|
The voice of my beloved, behold, this one,
coming,
leaping over the hills, springing over the hillocks. |
|
9
|
My belovedis like the hosts of gazelle, or the
faun of the hart.
Behold, this one, standing behind our embankment, peering through the perforations, blossoming through the grate. |
|
10
|
My beloved answered and said to me:
arise, you, my friend, my fair one, and you, come away. |
|
11
|
For behold, winter is passed,
the heavy rain is abolished. It has walked offstage. |
|
12
|
The flowers have appeared in the land, the time
of psalm-singing touches,
and the tone of the turtledove is heard in our land. |
|
13
|
The fig tree ripens her early fruit; and the
vines with a tender bud give a smell.
Arise, you, my friend, my fair one, and you, come away. |
|
14
|
My dove, in the clefts of the rock, in the secret
steep place, let me see your appearance, and let me hear your tone,
for your tone is sweet and your appearance is lovely. |
|
15
|
Catch and hold fast for us, foxes; wee foxes
inflicting pain on vineyards.
But our vineyards are budding tenderly. |
|
16
|
My beloved is mine, and I am his; he grazes
among the lilies.
|
|
17
|
Till the day dawns and the shadows withdraw,
surround, be like, you, my beloved, the gazelle or the faun of the hart upon the rugged mountains. |

No reason you couldn't combine these in one song - as long as you have two instruments tuned differently - and don't tune them to where they cannot go or you might break some strings - just transpose as needed.
