Cantares de Salomâo 4
1 Eis que és formosa, amiga minha, eis que és formosa: os teus olhos são como os das pombas entre as tuas tranças: o teu cabello é como o rebanho de cabras que pastam no monte de Gilead.
My darling, you are beautiful, you are very beautiful! Underneath your veil, your eyes are [as gentle as] [MET] doves. Your [long black] hair [moves from side to side] like [SIM] a flock of [black] goats moving down the slopes of Gilead Mountain.
2 Os teus dentes são como o rebanho das ovelhas tosquiadas, que sobem do lavadouro, e todas ellas produzem gemeos, e nenhuma ha esteril entre ellas.
Your teeth are [very white] like [SIM] a flock of sheep [whose wool] has [just] been (shorn/cut off) and that have come up from being washed [in a stream]. You have all of your teeth; none of them is missing.
3 Os teus labios são como um fio d'escarlate, e o teu fallar é doce: a fonte da tua cabeça como um pedaço de romã entre as tuas tranças.
Your lips are like [SIM] a scarlet ribbon, and your mouth is lovely. Beneath your veil, your [round, rosy/red] cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
4 O teu pescoço é como a torre de David, edificada para pendurar armas: mil escudos pendem d'ella, todos rodellas de valorosos.
Your [long] neck is [beautiful] like [SIM] the tower of [King] David that was built using layers/rows of stone. [The ornaments on your necklaces are like] 1,000 [HYP] shields that are hanging [on the walls of a tower]; each one belongs to a warrior.
5 Os teus dois peitos são como dois filhos gemeos da corça, que se apascentam entre os lyrios.
Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
6 Até que sopre o dia, e fujam as sombras, irei ao monte da myrrha e ao outeiro do incenso.
Until dawn [tomorrow morning] and the nighttime shadows/darkness disappear, I will [lie close to your breasts] that are [like] [MET] hills that are covered with incense [DOU].
7 Tu és toda formosa, amiga minha, e em ti não ha mancha.
My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
8 Vem comigo do Libano, ó esposa, comigo do Libano vem: olha desde o cume de Amana, desde o cume de Senir e de Hermon, desde as moradas dos leões, desde os montes dos leopardos.
My bride, [it is as though you are in] [MET] Lebanon [far away, where I cannot reach you]; come back to me. [It is as though you are inaccessible] [MET] on the top of Hermon Mountain or the nearby peaks. Come from where the lions have their dens and where the leopards live on the mountains.
9 Tiraste-me o coração, irmã minha, ó esposa: tiraste-me o coração com um dos teus olhos, com um collar do teu pescoço.
My bride [DOU], you who are dearer to me than my sister, you have captured my affection [IDM] by only once quickly looking at me, and by one [strand of] jewels in your necklace.
10 Que bellos são os teus amores, irmã minha! oh esposa minha! quanto melhores são os teus amores do que o vinho! e o cheiro dos teus unguentos do que o de todas as especiarias!
My bride, your love for me is delightful! It more delightful than wine! And the fragrance of your perfume is more pleasing than any spice!
11 Favos de mel estão manando dos teus labios, ó esposa! mel e leite estão debaixo da tua lingua, e o cheiro dos teus vestidos é como o cheiro do Libano.
Being kissed by you is [as enjoyable as eating] [MTY] honey; your kisses are as sweet as milk [mixed with] honey. The aroma of your clothes is like [SIM] the aroma of [cedar trees in] Lebanon.
12 Jardim fechado és tu, irmã minha, esposa minha, manancial fechado, fonte sellada.
My bride, [you who are dearer to me than] [MET] my sister, you are [like] [MET] a garden that is locked [in order that other men cannot enter it]; [you are like] [MET] a spring or a fountain that is covered [in order that others may not drink from it].
13 Os teus renovos são um pomar de romãs, com fructos excellentes, o cypreste com o nardo,
You are [like] [MET] an orchard of pomegranate trees full of delicious fruit, and plenty of [plants that produce] henna and nard [spices],
14 O nardo, e o açafrão, o calamo, e a canella, com toda a sorte d'arvores d'incenso, a myrrha e aloes, com todas as principaes especiarias.
and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
15 És a fonte dos jardins, poço das aguas vivas, que correm do Libano!
[You are like] [MET] a fountain in a garden, [like] [MET] a spring of clear water that flows [down] from [the mountains of] Lebanon.
16 Levanta-te, vento norte, e vem tu, vento sul: assopra no meu jardim, para que distillem os seus aromas: ah! se viesse o meu amado para o seu jardim, e comesse os seus fructos excellentes!
[I want] the north wind and the south wind to come, and blow on my garden, [in order that] the fragrance [of the spices will] spread through the air. [Similarly], I want the one who loves me to come and enjoy [cuddling up to me] [like] [MET, EUP] someone comes into a garden and enjoys eating the fruit [that grows there].
