Come back, come back, Sulamite; come back, come back, for us to look at you! Why do you look at the Sulamite, dancing as in a double choir? How beautiful are your feet in your sandals, daugther of a prince! The curve of your sides is like a collar? work of art of an artist. Your navel has the shape of a cup to drink in it! Your vulva, a cistern that overflows wine as if it was blood! Your belly is a wheat heap, surrounded by fragile lilies. Your bossoms resembles to two fawns, twins of a gazelle. Your neck is an ivory tower. Your eyes are the swimming pools of Heshbôn, close to the door of Beats-Rabbim. Your nose is a tower of Lebanon, sentinel turned towards Damas. Your chief draws up itself, similar to the Carmel, and its plaits are like purple; a king hangs himself to your loops. How beautiful you are, how charming you are, O! love, O! delights. In your dash you resemble the palm tree, which bunches ar your bossoms. And me, I will climb up the palm tree and I will seize their bunches. Let your bossoms be bunches of grape, and that the perfume of your breath be that of apples; your speeches, more than a divine breath! I belong to my beloved, and towards me goes its desire. Come, my beloved, go to the fields! We will spend the night in the villages, when the morning comes, we will go to the vineyards. We will see whether my vine buds, if my vine branches flowers, if my grenades are in flower. Then I will grant you the gift of my secret fruits. The mandrakes exhale their perfume, to my door are all the best fruits. The new ones like the old ones, I reserved them for you, my beloved.. |
