Latin text (Ct 1, 4; 7,6-9) Trahe me post te, Virgo Maria, curremus in odorem unguentorum tuorum. Quam pulchra es et quam decora, carissima in deliciis. Statura tua assimilata est palmae et ubera tua botris. Dixi: ascendam in palmam et apprehendam fructum eius et erunt ubera tua sicut botri vineae et odor oris tui sicut odor malorum.

Spanish translation Llévame tras ti, Virgen María. Correremos al olor de tus perfumes. ¡Qué hermosa eres y qué bella, queridísima en tus delicias. Tu talle se asemeja a la palmera y tus pechos a los racimos. Me dije: subiré a la palmera y cogeré su fruto y serán tus pechos como racimos de uva y el olor de tu boca, aroma de manzanos. Translation by Alejandro Borrego Pérez
