El amado
4 ¡Qué hermosa eres, amor mío, qué hermosa! Tus ojos, tras el velo, son como palomas. Sobre el rostro, tus negros cabellos son como rebaños de cabras que retozan en las laderas de Galaad. 2 Tus dientes son tan blancos como lana de oveja recién trasquilada y lavada; son perfectos y completos. 3 Como cinta escarlata son tus labios, y ¡qué bellas tus palabras! Tus mejillas, tras el velo parecen dos mitades de granadas. 4 Tu cuello es como la torre de David, engalanada con los escudos de mil héroes.
5 Tus pechos son dos gacelas, dos gacelas pastando entre lirios. 6 Hasta que despunte el día y huyan las sombras, subiré yo al monte de mirra y a la colina de incienso. 7 ¡Qué hermosa eres toda tú, amor mío! No tienes defectos. 8 Vente conmigo, desde el Líbano, novia mía. Miraremos desde la cumbre del monte, desde la cima del monte Hermón, donde tienen su guarida los leones y merodean los leopardos. 9 Cautivaste mi corazón, hermosa mía, novia mía; me cautivaste con una sola mirada de tus ojos, con una sola cuenta de tu collar. 10 Cuán dulce es tu amor, amada mía, novia mía, Cuánto mejor que el vino. Más fragante es el perfume de tu amor que las más ricas especias. 11 Tus labios, amada mía, destilan miel. Sí, miel y crema escondes bajo tu lengua, y el aroma de tus vestidos es como el de los montes y cedros del Líbano.
12 Mi novia y mi amada es como huerto privado, como manantial vedado a los demás. 13 Eres como bello huerto que produce frutas preciosas, con los más exóticos perfumes: 14 nardo y azafrán, cálamo aromático y canela, y perfume de todo árbol de incienso; además de mirra y áloe, y toda especia preciosa. 15 Eres fuente de jardín, pozo de agua viva; refrescante como las corrientes que manan de los montes del Líbano.
La amada
16 Ven, viento del norte; despierta; ven, viento del sur, sopla sobre mi huerto y llévale a mi amado su dulce perfume. Que venga él a su huerto y coma su fruto más exquisito.

A new wife
The young man:
4 My dear friend, how beautiful you are!
Yes, you are very beautiful!
Your eyes behind your veil are like doves.
Your hair is like a group of goats
that are coming down from Mount Gilead.[a]
2 Your teeth are very white like a group of sheep.
They are like sheep after someone has cut off their dirty wool
and they are coming from the pool of water.
Each tooth is one of a pair.
Not one of them is alone.
3 Your lips are like bright red strings.
Your mouth is lovely.
The sides of your face are beautiful,
like the halves of a pomegranate.
I see them through your veil.[b]
4 Your neck is like the great tower of King David.[c]
It is round and strong.
Your necklace is like the shields of 1,000 brave soldiers
that hang from the stones of the tower.
5 Your breasts are perfect,
like two young gazelles that are twins.
They feed themselves among the lilies.
6 I will go to the mountain of myrrh
and the hill of frankincense.
I will stay among them until the dawn comes
and the shadows go away.
7 You are completely beautiful, my dear friend.
Your body is perfect in every way.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride.
Yes, come with me from Lebanon.
Come down from the top of Amana, from the top of Senir.
Come down from the highest part of Hermon.[d]
Come away from those mountains where lions live,
and where there are leopards.
A wedding night
9 I love you so much that I never want to leave you,
my sister and my bride.[e]
When you looked at me only once
and I saw one jewel in your necklace,
I knew that I could never leave you.
10 Your love for me is wonderful,
my sister and my bride.
I enjoy your love even more than I enjoy wine.
Your perfume has a smell
that is more lovely than any spice!
11 Your lips taste very sweet to me, my bride.
They taste like honey that falls from the honeycomb.
Milk and honey are under your tongue.
The smell of your clothes
is like the cedar trees of Lebanon.
12 My sister and my bride, you are like a garden for me
that is locked to other men.
You are like a spring or a fountain
that other people may not drink water from.
13 Your body is like a special garden.
It is full of pomegranate trees with their sweet fruit.
There are wonderful fruits to enjoy.
There are also henna and nard.
14 There are nard, saffron, calamus, cinnamon
and many different spices.
There are myrrh, aloes
and all the best spices.[f]
15 You are like a spring of water in a garden.
You are like a well that has fresh water.
The water runs down from Lebanon's mountains.
The young woman:
16 Wake up, north wind! Come now, south wind!
Blow on my garden!
Make the sweet smell of its spices move in the air.
May my lover come into his garden now!
Let him taste its wonderful fruits!

4 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)
2 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)
3 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)
4 Your neck is like the tower(H) of David,
built with courses of stone[a];
on it hang a thousand shields,(I)
all of them shields of warriors.
5 Your breasts(J) are like two fawns,
like twin fawns of a gazelle(K)
that browse among the lilies.(L)
6 Until the day breaks
and the shadows flee,(M)
I will go to the mountain of myrrh(N)
and to the hill of incense.
7 You are altogether beautiful,(O) my darling;
there is no flaw(P) in you.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my bride,(Q)
come with me from Lebanon.
Descend from the crest of Amana,
from the top of Senir,(R) the summit of Hermon,(S)
from the lions’ dens
and the mountain haunts of leopards.
9 You have stolen my heart, my sister, my bride;(T)
you have stolen my heart
with one glance of your eyes,
with one jewel of your necklace.(U)
10 How delightful(V) is your love(W), my sister, my bride!
How much more pleasing is your love than wine,(X)
and the fragrance of your perfume(Y)
more than any spice!
11 Your lips drop sweetness as the honeycomb, my bride;
milk and honey are under your tongue.(Z)
The fragrance of your garments
is like the fragrance of Lebanon.(AA)
12 You are a garden(AB) locked up, my sister, my bride;(AC)
you are a spring enclosed, a sealed fountain.(AD)
13 Your plants are an orchard of pomegranates(AE)
with choice fruits,
with henna(AF) and nard,
14 nard and saffron,
calamus and cinnamon,(AG)
with every kind of incense tree,
with myrrh(AH) and aloes(AI)
and all the finest spices.(AJ)
15 You are[b] a garden(AK) fountain,(AL)
a well of flowing water
streaming down from Lebanon.

Song of Solomon 4
King James Version
4 Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves' eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.
2 Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.
3 Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.
4 Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.
5 Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.
6 Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.
7 Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.
8 Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions' dens, from the mountains of the leopards.
9 Thou hast ravished my heart, my sister, my spouse; thou hast ravished my heart with one of thine eyes, with one chain of thy neck.
10 How fair is thy love, my sister, my spouse! how much better is thy love than wine! and the smell of thine ointments than all spices!
11 Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.
12 A garden inclosed is my sister, my spouse; a spring shut up, a fountain sealed.
13 Thy plants are an orchard of pomegranates, with pleasant fruits; camphire, with spikenard,
14 Spikenard and saffron; calamus and cinnamon, with all trees of frankincense; myrrh and aloes, with all the chief spices:
15 A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.
16 Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
