Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Descendi in hortum meum,
ut viderem poma convallium,
et inspicerem si floruisset vinea
et germinassent mala punica.
Revertere, revertere, Sulamitis,
ut intueamur te.

English.png English translation

I went down into my garden
to see the fruits of the valley,
and to see whether the vine flourished
and the pomegranates budded.
Return, return, O Shulamite,
that we might look upon thee.
