Original text and translations

Latin text Pulchrae sunt genae tuae, amica mea, soror mea, sponsa. Oculi tui sicut columbarum. O pulcherrima Virgo vulnerasti cor meum in uno crine tuo. Colomba mea sicut botrus Cypri, et ut hinnuli duo gemelli Capreae qui pascunt flores. Quam pulcher es, et speciosa Virgo: Veni de Libano amica mea veni, formosa mea, veni de Libano.

English translation Thy cheeks are beautiful, my love, my sister, my spouse. Thou hast eyes like a dove. Most beautiful among women, thou hast wounded my heart with one hair of thy head. My dove is like a cluster of cypress, and [her breasts] are like two young twin roes that browse on flowers. How lovely thou art, a beautiful maiden: come from Lebanon, my love, my fair one, come from Lebanon.
