Original text and translations

Latin text O quam tu pulchra es, Amica mea, columba mea, Formosa mea Oculi tui columbarum Capilli tui sicut greges caprarum Et dentes tui sicut greges tonsarum. Veni de Libano, veni coronaberis. Surge propera, surge sponsa mea, Surge dilecta mea, immaculata mea, Surge, veni, quia amore langueo.

English translation O how beautiful you are, My girlfriend, my dove, My beautiful one, Your eyes are those of doves Your hair is like flocks of goats, Your teeth are like rows of oars. Come from Lebanon, come and you will be crowned. Arise quickly, arise my bride Arise my precious, my spotless one, Arise, come, because I languish in love.
