Plain text of A love song of Shu-Suen (Shu-Suen A)
1-6 It was she who gave birth to the noble one, gave birth to the noble one; the queen gave birth to the noble one, Abi-simti (i.e. Cu-Suen's mother) gave birth to the noble one, the queen gave birth to the noble one -- my cloth beam of the cloth of pleasure, my Abi-simti! My warp beam placed for weaving, my queen Kubatum (i.e. Cu-Suen's concubine)!
7-12 My one suited to a mane of hair, a wonder to behold, my lord Cu-Suen, my one ...... in words, my son of Culgi -- because I uttered, because I uttered, the lord gave me a gift, because I uttered an exclamation of joy, the lord gave me a gift. The lord gave me as a gift a golden pin, a lapis-lazuli seal. The lord gave me as a gift a golden ring, a silver ring.
13-18 O lord, your gifts are ..., may you cast your eyes on me. O Cu-Suen, your gifts are ..., may you cast your eyes on me. ...... lord ...... lord ....... Like pleasant ....... May your city stretch out its hands to you like a cripple, my lord Cu-Suen. May it lie down at your feet like a lion-cub, my son of Culgi.
28 It is a balbale.
