I am dark but lovely
"My skin is dark, but I am still beautiful" or "Even though my skin is dark, I am beautiful"
dark like the tents of Kedar
The nomadic tribes in Kedar used black goat skins to build their homes. The woman is comparing her skin to these tents. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
lovely like the curtains of Solomon
Solomon produced beautiful curtains either for his own palace or for the Temple. She says that her skin is beautiful. (See: rc://en/ta/man/translate/figs-simile)
