¹¡Cuán hermosos son tus pies² en las sandalias,oh hija de príncipe³^a!Las curvas de tus caderas son como joyas⁴,obra de manos de artífice.2 Tu ombligo, como una taza redondaque nunca le falta vino mezclado;tu vientre como montón de trigocercado de lirios.3 Tus dos pechos, como dos críasmellizas de gacela^a.4 Tu cuello, como torre^a de marfil,tus ojos, como los estanques en Hesbón^bjunto a la puerta de Bat-rabim;tu nariz, como la torre del Líbanoque mira hacia Damasco.5 Tu cabeza te corona¹ como el Carmelo^a,y la cabellera suelta de tu cabeza es como hilos de púrpura;el rey está preso en tus trenzas.6 ¡Qué hermosa y qué encantadora eres,amor mío^a, con¹ todos tus encantos!7 Tu estatura¹ es semejante a la palmera,y tus pechos, a sus racimos.8 Yo dije: «Subiré a la palmera,asiré sus frutos¹».¡Sean tus pechos como racimos de la vid,el perfume de tu aliento² como manzanas³^a,9 y tu paladar^a como el mejor vino!LA ESPOSA:

Entra¹ suavemente el vino^b en mi amado,como fluye por los labios de los que se duermen².

10 Yo soy de mi amado^a,y su deseo tiende hacia mí^b.11 Ven, amado mío, salgamos al campo,pasemos la noche en las aldeas.12 Levantémonos temprano y vayamos a las viñas;veamos si la vid ha brotado^a,si se han abierto sus flores,y si han florecido los granados.Allí te entregaré mi amor.13 Las mandrágoras^a han exhalado su fragancia,y a nuestras puertas hay toda clase de frutas escogidas^b,tanto nuevas como añejas,que he guardado, amado mío, para ti.

Admiration by the Bridegroom

“How beautiful are your feet in sandals,O ^aprince’s daughter!The curves of your hips are like jewels,The work of the hands of an artist.2 “Your navel is a round gobletWhich never lacks mixed wine.Your belly is like a heap of wheatSurrounded with lilies.3 “Your ^atwo breasts are like two fawns,The twins of a gazelle.4 “Your ^aneck is like a tower of ivory,Your eyes the sparkling pools of ^bHeshbonBy the gate of Bath-rabbim.Your nose is like the tower of LebanonWhich looks toward Damascus.5 “Your head crowns you like Mount ^aCarmel,And the flowing hair of your head like purple threads;I, the king, am held captive by your ¹tresses.6 “How ^abeautiful and how delightful you are,My love, with all your delights!7 “Your stature is like that of a palm treeAnd your breasts like its clusters of dates.8 “I said, ‘I will climb the palm tree;I will grasp its branches.Let your breasts be like clusters of the grapevine,And the fragrance of your breath like ^aapples,9 And your ^akisses like the best wine!’”(The Shulammite Bride)“It ^bgoes down smoothly and sweetly for my beloved,Gliding gently over his lips while he sleeps.

The Union of Love
