< Song of Solomon 6 >

1 You who are the most beautiful of all the women, where has the one who loves you gone? [If you tell us] which [RHQ] direction he went, we will go with you to search for him.
Ove è andato il tuo amico, O la più bella d'infra le femmine? Dove si è volto l'amico tuo, E noi lo cercheremo teco?
2 The one who loves me has now come [to me, who am like] [MET, EUP] his garden, He has come to [enjoy my (charms/physical attractions) which are like] [MET, EUP] spices, to enjoy cuddling up to me [EUP, MET], and [kissing my lips, which are like] [MET] lilies.
Il mio amico è disceso nel suo orto, All'aie degli aromati, Per pasturar [la sua greggia] negli orti, E per coglier gigli.
3 I belong to the one who loves me, and the one who loves me belongs to me; he [enjoys kissing] my lips like [MET] [a shepherd enjoys] taking care of [his sheep].
Io [son] dell'amico mio; e l'amico mio, Che pastura [la sua greggia] fra i gigli, [è] mio.
4 My darling, you are beautiful, like [SIM] Tirzah [the capital city of Israel] and Jerusalem [the capital city of Judah are beautiful]; you are as exciting [MET] as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners.
Amica mia, tu [sei] bella come Tirsa, Vaga come Gerusalemme, Tremenda come [campi] a bandiere spiegate.
5 Quit looking at me like that, because your eyes excite me very much. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats [moving down the slopes] of Gilead [Mountain].
Rivolgi gli occhi tuoi, che non mi guardino fiso; Perciocchè essi mi sopraffanno; I tuoi capelli [son] come una mandra di capre Che pendono dai fianchi di Galaad.
6 Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has just been shorn and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
I tuoi denti [son] simili ad una mandra di pecore Che salgono fuor del lavatoio, Le quali hanno tutte due gemelli, E fra esse non ve n'è alcuna senza figlio.
7 Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
La tua tempia, per entro la tua chioma, [È] simile ad un pezzo di melagrana.
8 Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
Vi son sessanta regine, ed ottanta concubine, E fanciulle senza numero;
9 [none of them would be like] my dove, who is perfect, you who are your mother’s only daughter, whom your mother considers to be very precious. [Other] young women who see you say that you are fortunate, and the queens and concubines recognize that you [are very beautiful].
[Ma] la colomba mia, la compiuta mia, [È] unica; ella [è] unica a sua madre, E singolare a quella che l'ha partorita; Le fanciulle l'hanno veduta, e l'hanno celebrata beata; Le regine altresì, e le concubine, e l'hanno lodata.
10 Who is [RHQ] this woman who is [as delightful] as [SIM] the dawn, as fair/delightful [to look at] as [the light of] the moon, as exciting as a [group/battalion of] troops holding up their banners?
Chi [è] costei, che apparisce simile all'alba, Bella come la luna, pura come il sole, Tremenda come [campi] a bandiere spiegate?
11 I went down to some walnut trees to look at the new plants that were growing in the valley. I wanted to see if the grapevines had budded or if the pomegranate trees were blooming.
Io son discesa al giardino delle noci, Per veder le piante verdeggianti della valle, Per veder se le viti mettevano le lor gemme, [E] i melagrani le lor bocce.
12 [But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
Io non mi sono avveduta che il mio desiderio mi ha renduta simile A' carri di Amminadab.
13 You who are the perfect one, come back [to us], in order that we may see you! Why do you want to look at this woman who is perfect, like [SIM] you like to watch two rows/lines of people dancing?
Ritorna, ritorna, o Sullamita; Ritorna, ritorna, che noi ti miriamo. Perchè mirate la Sullamita Come una danza a due schiere?
