Nigra sum, sed formosa filiae Jerusalem, <br>
sicut tabernacula Cedar, sicut pelles Salomonis.<br>
Nolite me considerare quod fusca sim, <br>
quia decoloravit me sol. <br>
Filii matris meae pugnaverunt contra me, <br>
posuerunt me custodem in vineis.<br>

I am black but beautiful, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, <br>
as the tents of Cedar, as the curtains of Solomon. <br>
Do not consider me that I am brown, <br>
because the sun hath altered my colour:  <br>
the sons of my mother have fought against me, <br>
they have made me the keeper in the vineyards.<br>
