Chante Salomon 3
1 Pandan plizyè nwit, m' kouche sou kabann mwen, m' chache moun mwen renmen anpil la. M' chache l', mwen pa jwenn li.
upon bed my in/on/with night to seek [obj] which/that to love: lover soul my to seek him and not to find him
2 Apre sa, mwen leve, mwen pran mache nan tout lavil la, m' chache moun mwen renmen an nan tout lari, sou tout laplas yo. M' chache l', mwen pa jwenn li.
to arise: rise please and to turn: surround in/on/with city in/on/with street and in/on/with street/plaza to seek [obj] which/that to love: lover soul my to seek him and not to find him
3 Gad k'ap mache fè patwouy nan lavil la kontre avè m'. Mwen mande yo: Souple! Nou pa wè nèg mwen renmen an pou mwen?
to find me [the] to keep: guard [the] to turn: surround in/on/with city [obj] which/that to love: lover soul my to see: see
4 Kite mwen kite gad yo, mwen jwenn moun mwen renmen an. Mwen kenbe men l'. Mwen pa lage l' jouk mwen mennen l' kay manman m', nan chanm moun ki te pote m' nan vant li an.
like/as little which/that to pass from them till which/that to find [obj] which/that to love: lover soul my to grasp him and not to slacken him till which/that to come (in): bring him to(wards) house: home mother my and to(wards) chamber to conceive me
5 Nou menm, medam lavil Jerizalèm, tanpri, tanpri souple! Fè m' sèman sou tèt gazèl bèf ak fenmèl kabrit ki lage nan savann yo. Pa deranje anmòrèz mwen lè l'ap dòmi. Pa leve l' san li pa vle.
to swear [obj] you daughter Jerusalem in/on/with gazelle or in/on/with doe [the] land: country if: surely no to rouse and if: surely no to rouse [obj] [the] love till which/that to delight in
6 Kisa k'ap vini sot nan dezè a? L'ap vini nan mitan de poto lafimen. Lè a gen sant lansan, li gen sant mant, li gen sant tout kalite poud santi bon machann vann.
who? this to ascend: rise from [the] wilderness like/as column smoke to offer: to perfume myrrh and frankincense from all aromatic powder to trade
7 Gade! Se yon kabann divan y'ap pote pou Salomon. Gen swasant sòlda k'ap eskòte l', swasant nan pi vanyan sòlda peyi Izrayèl la.
behold bed his which/that to/for Solomon sixty mighty man around to/for her from mighty man Israel
8 Yo tout gen anpil ladrès pou sèvi ak nepe. Se vyewo yo ye nan lagè. Yo chak gen nepe yo mare nan ren yo. Yo tou pare pou si yo ta atake yo lannwit.
all their to grasp sword to learn: teach battle man: anyone sword his upon thigh his from dread (in/on/with night *L(abh)*)
9 Wa Salomon fè fè yon bèl divan sou branka pou li ak pi bon bwa peyi Liban,
carriage to make to/for him [the] king Solomon from tree: wood [the] Lebanon
10 Poto kwen yo fèt an ajan. Tèt divan an kouvri an lò. Matla a kouvri ak bèl twal wouj, tout anndan an bwode. Se medam lavil Jerizalèm yo ki fè l' pou li ak tout kè yo.
pillar his to make silver: money back his gold chariot his purple midst his to fit love from daughter Jerusalem
11 Soti non, medam mòn Siyon yo! Vin wè wa Salomon ak kouwòn manman l' te mete sou tèt li jou maryaj li, jou kè l' te kontan anpil la.
to come out: come and to see: see daughter Zion in/on/with king Solomon in/on/with crown which/that to crown to/for him mother his in/on/with day marriage his and in/on/with day joy heart his
