אָשִׁ֤ירָה נָּא֙ לִֽידִידִ֔י שִׁירַ֥ת דּוֹדִ֖י לְכַרְמ֑וֹ כֶּ֛רֶם הָיָ֥ה לִֽידִידִ֖י בְּקֶ֥רֶן בֶּן־שָֽׁמֶן׃
Aawit ako ngayon para sa aking minamahal, ang awit ng aking sinta tungkol sa kanyang ubasan. May ubasan ang aking minamahal sa isang napakatabang burol.
Rashi
I will now sing for my beloved The prophet says: “I will now sing for my beloved and in his place and as his messenger. [The word לִידִידִי would usually mean, ‘to my beloved.’] Similar to (Exodus 14: 4): “The Lord will wage war for you (לָכֶם), for you [not ‘to you’].”
Ibn Ezra
נא Now. נא is always identical in meaning with עתה now.1The identity of נא and עתה is often mentioned by our author, as if he thereby wished emphatically to exclude the meaning of I pray thee; compare Talmud Babli, Berachoth, p. 9, אין נא אלא ל׳ בקשה, the word נא means always ‘I pray thee,’ and Rashi on Gen. 19:18.
Rashi
the song of my beloved about his vineyard This is the song of my beloved that he sang for his vineyard, about his vineyard, as (Genesis 26:7): “And the people of the place asked about his wife (לְאִשְׁתּוֹ), about his wife [not ‘to his wife’].”
Rashi
a vineyard in a fertile corner in a corner that produces fat fruit, like good oil.
Rashi
fertile Heb. בן-שמן [lit. the son of oil, i.e.,] a corner fit for oil, for olives to produce oil, [like] (I Samuel 20:31) בֶּן-מָוֶת, [lit. a son of death,] fit to die. This is a parable, and at the end of the section, he will explain it.
