Latin text

Nígra sum, sed formósa,
fíliæ Jerúsalem,
Sícut tabernácula Cédar,
sícut pélles Salomónis.
Nolíte me consideráre
quod fúsca sim,
Quía decolorávit me sol.

Fílii mátris méae
pugnavérunt cóntra me;
Posuérunt me custódem in víneis,
Víneam méam non custodívi.
Indica míhi, quem díligit ánima méa,
úbi páscas,
Ubi cúbes in merídie,
Ne vagári incípiam
post gréges sodálium tuórum.

English translation

I am dark, but comely,
O daughters of Jerusalem,
Like the tents of Kedar,
like the pelts of Solomon.
Do not gaze at me
because I am swarthy,
For the sun has discolored me.

The sons of my mother
contended against me;
They made me keeper of the vineyards;
My own vineyard I have not kept.
Tell me, you whom my soul loves,
where you pasture,
Where you lie down at midday,
Lest I begin to wander
after the flocks of your companions.
