El tormento de la separación
LA ESPOSA:
2 Yo dormía, pero mi corazón velaba,¡Una voz! ¡Mi amado toca a la puerta!«Abreme, hermana míaa, amada1 mía,paloma mía, perfecta míab,pues mi cabeza está empapada2 de rocío,mis cabellosc empapados de la humedad3 de la noche».3 Me he quitado la ropa,¿cómo he de vestirme de nuevoa?He lavado mis piesb,¿cómo los volveré a ensuciar?4 Mi amado metió su mano por la abertura de la puerta,y se estremecieron por él1 mis entrañasa.5 Yo me levanté para abrir a mi amado;y mis manos destilaron mirraa,y mis dedos mirra líquida1,sobre los pestillos de la cerradura.6 Abrí yo a mi amado,pero mi amado se había retirado, se había idoa.Tras1 su hablar salió mi almab.Lo busqué, y no lo halléc;lo llamé, y no me respondiód.7 Me hallaron los guardas que rondan la ciudada,me golpearon y me hirieron;me quitaron de encima mi chal los guardas de las murallas.8 Yo os conjuro, oh hijas de Jerusaléna,si encontráis a mi amado,¿qué le habéis de decir?Que estoy enferma de amorb.
EL CORO:
9 ¿Qué clase de amado es tu amado1,oh la más hermosa de las mujeresa?¿Qué clase de amado es tu amado2,que así nos conjuras?

The Torment of Separation
“I have acome into my garden, bmy sister, my bride;I have gathered my cmyrrh along with my balsam.I have eaten my honeycomb with my dhoney;I have edrunk my wine with my milk.Eat, ffriends;Drink and 1drink deeply, lovers.”
The Bride
2 “I was asleep but my heart was awake.A voice! My beloved was knocking:Open to me, amy sister, my darling,bMy dove, my perfect one!For my head is 1drenched with dew,My clocks with the dew drops of the night.’3 “I have ataken off my dress,How can I put it on again?I have bwashed my feet,How can I dirty them again?4 “My beloved extended his hand through the opening,And my afeelings were stirred for him.5 “I arose to open to my beloved;And my hands adripped with myrrh,And my fingers with drops of myrrh,On the handles of the bolt.6 “I opened to my beloved,But my beloved had aturned away and had gone!My 1heart went out to him as he bspoke.I csearched for him but I did not find him;I dcalled him but he did not answer me.7 “The awatchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,They struck me and wounded me;The guards of the walls took my shawl away from me.8 aSwear to me, you daughters of Jerusalem,If you find my beloved,As to what you will tell him:For bI am lovesick.”
The Chorus
