Cantares 8
Reina-Valera 1960
8 ¡Oh, si tú fueras como un hermano mío
Que mamó los pechos de mi madre!
Entonces, hallándote fuera, te besaría,
Y no me menospreciarían.
2 Yo te llevaría, te metería en casa de mi madre;
Tú me enseñarías,
Y yo te haría beber vino
Adobado del mosto de mis granadas.
3 Su izquierda esté debajo de mi cabeza,
Y su derecha me abrace.
4 Os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalén,
Que no despertéis ni hagáis velar al amor,
Hasta que quiera.
El poder del amor
5 ¿Quién es esta que sube del desierto,
Recostada sobre su amado?
Debajo de un manzano te desperté;
Allí tuvo tu madre dolores,
Allí tuvo dolores la que te dio a luz.
6 Ponme como un sello sobre tu corazón, como una marca sobre tu brazo;
Porque fuerte es como la muerte el amor;
Duros como el Seol los celos;
Sus brasas, brasas de fuego, fuerte llama.
7 Las muchas aguas no podrán apagar el amor,
Ni lo ahogarán los ríos.
Si diese el hombre todos los bienes de su casa por este amor,
De cierto lo menospreciarían.
8 Tenemos una pequeña hermana,
Que no tiene pechos;
¿Qué haremos a nuestra hermana
Cuando de ella se hablare?
9 Si ella es muro,
Edificaremos sobre él un palacio de plata;
Si fuere puerta,
La guarneceremos con tablas de cedro.
10 Yo soy muro, y mis pechos como torres,
Desde que fui en sus ojos como la que halla paz.
11 Salomón tuvo una viña en Baal-hamón,
La cual entregó a guardas,
Cada uno de los cuales debía traer mil monedas de plata por su fruto.
12 Mi viña, que es mía, está delante de mí;
Las mil serán tuyas, oh Salomón,
Y doscientas para los que guardan su fruto.
13 Oh, tú que habitas en los huertos,
Los compañeros escuchan tu voz;
Házmela oír.
14 Apresúrate, amado mío,
Y sé semejante al corzo, o al cervatillo,
Sobre las montañas de los aromas.

Song of Solomon 8
1599 Geneva Bible
8 2 The Church will be taught by Christ. 3 She is upheld by him. 6 The vehement love wherewith Christ loveth her. 11 She is the vine that bringeth forth fruit to the spiritual Solomon, which is Jesus Christ.
1 Oh [a]that thou werest as my brother that sucked the breasts of my mother: I would find thee without, I would kiss thee, then they should not despise [b]thee.
2 I will lead thee and bring thee into my mother’s house: there thou shalt teach me: and I will cause thee to drink spiced wine, and new wine of the pomegranate.
3 [c]His left hand shall be under mine head, and his right hand shall embrace me.
4 [d]I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem, that you stir not up, nor waken my love until she please.
5 (Who is this that cometh up out of the wilderness, leaning upon her well-beloved?) I raised thee up under an apple tree: there the mother conceived thee: there she conceived that bare thee.
6 [e]Set me as a seal on thine heart, and as a signet upon thine arm: for love is strong as death: jealousy is cruel as the grave: the coals thereof are fiery coals, and a vehement flame.
7 Much water cannot quench love, neither can the floods drown it: if a man should give all the substance of his house for love, they would greatly contemn it.
8 [f]We have a little sister, and she hath no breasts: what shall we do for our sister when she shall be spoken for?
9 [g]If she be a wall, we will build upon her a silver palace: and if she be a door, we will keep her in with boards of cedar.
10 [h]I am a wall, and my breasts are as towers: then was I in his eyes as one that findeth peace.
11 [i]Solomon had a vine in Baal Hamon: he gave the vineyard unto keepers: everyone bringeth for the fruit thereof a thousand pieces of silver.
12 But my vineyard which is mine, is before me: to thee, O Solomon, appertaineth a thousand pieces of silver, and two hundred to them that keep the fruit thereof.
13 O thou that dwellest in the [j]gardens, the companions hearken unto thy voice: cause me to hear it.
14 O my well-beloved, [k]flee away and be like unto the roe, or to the young hart upon the mountains of spices.

Lovers Reunited at Their Country Home
8 Oh, that you were like my brother,
Who nursed at my mother’s breasts!
If I should find you outside,
I would kiss you;
I would not be despised.
2 I would lead you and bring you
Into the (A)house of my mother,
She who used to instruct me.
I would cause you to drink of (B)spiced wine,
Of the juice of my pomegranate.
(To the Daughters of Jerusalem)
3 (C)His left hand is under my head,
And his right hand embraces me.
4 (D)I charge you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stir up nor awaken love
Until it pleases.
Love Renewed in Lebanon
A Relative
5 (E)Who is this coming up from the wilderness,
Leaning upon her beloved?
I awakened you under the apple tree.
There your mother brought you forth;
There she who bore you brought you forth.
The Shulamite to Her Beloved
6 (F)Set me as a seal upon your heart,
As a seal upon your arm;
For love is as strong as death,
(G)Jealousy as [a]cruel as [b]the grave;
Its flames are flames of fire,
[c]A most vehement flame.
7 Many waters cannot quench love,
Nor can the floods drown it.
(H)If a man would give for love
All the wealth of his house,
It would be utterly despised.
The Shulamite’s Brothers
8 (I)We have a little sister,
And she has no breasts.
What shall we do for our sister
In the day when she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
We will build upon her
A battlement of silver;
And if she is a door,
We will enclose her
With boards of cedar.
The Shulamite
10 I am a wall,
And my breasts like towers;
Then I became in his eyes
As one who found peace.
11 Solomon had a vineyard at Baal Hamon;
(J)He leased the vineyard to keepers;
Everyone was to bring for its fruit
A thousand silver coins.
(To Solomon)
12 My own vineyard is before me.
You, O Solomon, may have a thousand,
And those who tend its fruit two hundred.
The Beloved
13 You who dwell in the gardens,
The companions listen for your voice—
(K)Let me hear it!
The Shulamite
