Following are a number of back-translations as well as a sample translation for translators of Song of Solomon 3:1:

My head went to search for the one my stomach loves!
I searched and I searched, but I did not find (him).” (Source: Kupsabiny Back Translation) - Newari: “At night when I lay in my bed
I longed for my lover.
So I went searching for him but I was unable to find him.” (Source: Newari Back Translation) - Hiligaynon: “At night, while I lay-down, I yearned/longed for my beloved. I miss him, but he (is) not (here).” (Source: Hiligaynon Back Translation)

I longed for the one whom I love.
I desired for him to come,
but he did not come.” (Source: Translation for Translators)
