Why do we first hear the voice of the woman in Song of Songs?
Cantique des Cantiques 1:2 (NEG79)
2Qu'il me baise des baisers de sa bouche! Car ton amour vaut mieux que le vin,
After the introduction in Song of Solomon 1:1, the Song begins in Song of Solomon 1:2 and the first voice that is heard is the voice of the young woman. This is appropriate because her voice will, in fact, be the main voice in the Song.
2 Qu'il me baise des baisers de sa bouche! Car ton amour vaut mieux que le vin,
