Cantares 2
La Palabra (Hispanoamérica)
2 Soy narciso de Sarón
y azucena de los valles.
Amado
2 Una azucena entre zarzas
es mi amada entre las mozas.
Amada
3 Un manzano entre árboles silvestres
es mi amado entre los mozos.
Me gusta sentarme a su sombra,
paladear su dulce fruta.
4 Me introdujo en la bodega
bajo la bandera de su amor.
5 Reconfórtenme con pasas,
reanímenme con manzanas,
que estoy enferma de amor.
6 En su izquierda reposa mi cabeza,
con su derecha me abraza.
Amado
7 Júrenme, muchachas de Jerusalén,
por las gacelas y ciervas del campo,
que no despertarán ni turbarán
al amor hasta que él quiera.
Segundo cantar
Amada
8 ¡Es la voz de mi amor!
Mírenlo cómo viene,
brincando por los montes,
saltando por los cerros.
9 Mi amor es como un corzo,
es como un cervatillo.
Miren, se ha parado tras la tapia,
mirando por las ventanas,
espiando entre las rejas.
10 Mi amor habla y me dice:
— “Levántate, mi amada,
hermosa mía, y ven.
11 Que el invierno ha pasado,
han cesado y se han ido las lluvias.
12 Brotan flores en la tierra,
llega el tiempo de los cantos
y el arrullo de la tórtola
ya se oye en nuestros campos.
13 Las higueras echan higos
y hay aroma de uva en flor.
Levántate, mi amada,
hermosa mía, y ven.
14 Paloma mía, escondida
en las grietas de las rocas,
en los huecos más recónditos,
déjame ver tu figura,
déjame escuchar tu voz,
¡es tan dulce tu voz
y tan bella tu figura!”.
Dúo
15 Cácennos las raposas,
las raposas pequeñas
que destrozan las viñas,
nuestras viñas en flor.
Amada
16 Mi amado es mío y yo de mi amado,
que pasta entre azucenas.
17 Mientras despunta el día
y se esfuman las sombras,
amor mío, vuélvete
como corzo o cervatillo
por las montañas de Béter.
Song of Solomon 2
New King James Version
A Country Girl in a Palace
2 I am the rose of Sharon,
And the lily of the valleys.
The Beloved
2 Like a lily among thorns,
So is my love among the daughters.
The Shulamite
3 Like an apple tree among the trees of the woods,
So is my beloved among the sons.
I sat down in his shade with great delight,
And (A)his fruit was sweet to my taste.
The Shulamite to the Daughters of Jerusalem
4 He brought me to the [a]banqueting house,
And his banner over me was love.
5 Sustain me with cakes of raisins,
Refresh me with apples,
For I am lovesick.
6 (B)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
7 (C)I [b]charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
By the gazelles or by the does of the field,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
The Beloved’s Request
The Shulamite
8 The voice of my beloved!
Behold, he comes
Leaping upon the mountains,
Skipping upon the hills.
9 (D)My beloved is like a gazelle or a young stag.
Behold, he stands behind our wall;
He is looking through the windows,
Gazing through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke, and said to me:
“Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away.
11 For lo, the winter is past,
The rain is over and gone.
12 The flowers appear on the earth;
The time of singing has come,
And the voice of the turtledove
Is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree puts forth her green figs,
And the vines with the tender grapes
Give a good smell.
Rise up, my love, my fair one,
And come away!
14 “O my (E)dove, in the clefts of the rock,
In the secret places of the cliff,
Let me see your [c]face,
(F)Let me hear your voice;
For your voice is sweet,
And your face is lovely.”
Her Brothers
15 Catch us (G)the foxes,
The little foxes that spoil the vines,
For our vines have tender grapes.
The Shulamite
16 (H)My beloved is mine, and I am his.
He feeds his flock among the lilies.
(To Her Beloved)
17 (I)Until the day breaks
And the shadows flee away,
Turn, my beloved,
And be (J)like a gazelle
Or a young stag
Upon the mountains of [d]Bether.

New International Version
She[a]
He
2 Like a lily among thorns
is my darling among the young women.
She
3 Like an apple[c] tree among the trees of the forest
is my beloved(D) among the young men.
I delight(E) to sit in his shade,
and his fruit is sweet to my taste.(F)
4 Let him lead me to the banquet hall,(G)
and let his banner(H) over me be love.
5 Strengthen me with raisins,
refresh me with apples,(I)
for I am faint with love.(J)
6 His left arm is under my head,
and his right arm embraces me.(K)
7 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you(L)
by the gazelles and by the does of the field:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(M)
8 Listen! My beloved!
Look! Here he comes,
leaping across the mountains,
bounding over the hills.(N)
9 My beloved is like a gazelle(O) or a young stag.(P)
Look! There he stands behind our wall,
gazing through the windows,
peering through the lattice.
10 My beloved spoke and said to me,
“Arise, my darling,
my beautiful one, come with me.
11 See! The winter is past;
the rains are over and gone.
12 Flowers appear on the earth;
the season of singing has come,
the cooing of doves
is heard in our land.
13 The fig tree forms its early fruit;(Q)
the blossoming(R) vines spread their fragrance.
Arise, come, my darling;
my beautiful one, come with me.”
He
14 My dove(S) in the clefts of the rock,
in the hiding places on the mountainside,
show me your face,
let me hear your voice;
for your voice is sweet,
and your face is lovely.(T)
15 Catch for us the foxes,(U)
the little foxes
that ruin the vineyards,(V)
our vineyards that are in bloom.(W)
She
