We are glad ... We rejoice ... let us praise
The woman speaks of herself as if she were more than one person. Some versions change the pronoun to “I” as the UDB does. Other versions present these as the words of the woman’s friends speaking about either the woman or the man. (See: rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-pronouns and rc://en/ta/man/jit/figs-exclusive)

NIV, ESV, NLT, NKJV, NASB, NLT, CEV: Heading says that the others were speaking.

None of the English versions in BibleHub change the "we" to "I."
Also in Hebrew, all "you" and "your" in this verse is masculine singular.

Only the GNT makes it clear that the woman is speaking. But it seems to ignore 'you' and 'your' in those clauses.
We will be happy together,
drink deep, and lose ourselves in love.

Shall we change the note?
