Canta el amado

Qué bella eres, amada mía,
    eres realmente muy hermosa.
Tus ojos parecen dos palomas
    detrás de tu velo.
Tu cabello es largo y ondulado;
    cae como un rebaño de cabras
    que baja por los montes de Galaad.
Tus dientes son blancos como ovejas esquiladas
    que acaban de bañarse.
Todas tienen gemelos,
    no falta ni una.
Tus labios y tu boca son hermosos,
    como una cinta escarlata.
Tus mejillas bajo tu velo
    parecen cortes de granada.

He

How beautiful you are, my darling!
    Oh, how beautiful!
    Your eyes behind your veil(A) are doves.(B)
Your hair is like a flock of goats
    descending from the hills of Gilead.(C)
Your teeth are like a flock of sheep just shorn,
    coming up from the washing.
Each has its twin;
    not one of them is alone.(D)
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon;
    your mouth(E) is lovely.(F)
Your temples behind your veil
    are like the halves of a pomegranate.(G)

The Bridegroom Praises the Bride

The Beloved

Behold, (A)you are fair, my love!
Behold, you are fair!
You have dove’s eyes behind your veil.
Your hair is like a (B)flock of goats,
Going down from Mount Gilead.
(C)Your teeth are like a flock of shorn sheep
Which have come up from the washing,
Every one of which bears twins,
And none is [a]barren among them.
Your lips are like a strand of scarlet,
And your mouth is lovely.
(D)Your temples behind your veil
Are like a piece of pomegranate.
