Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Adónde se ha ido tu amado, oh hermosa entre las mujeres? ¿Hacia dónde se ha vuelto tu amado, para que le busquemos contigo?
So where has your love gone, most beautiful of women? Which direction did he go so we can look for him with you?
2 Mi amado bajó a su jardín, a las eras de bálsamo, para pastorear en los jardines, y juntar azucenas.
My love has gone down to his garden, to his flowerbeds of spices. He enjoys feeding in the gardens and plucks lilies.
3 Yo soy de mi amado; y mi amado es mío, el pastor entre azucenas.
I am my love's, and my love is mine! He is the one who feeds among the lilies.
4 Hermosa eres, amiga mía, como Tirsá, amable como Jerusalén, temible como batallones de guerra.
You are beautiful, my darling, as pretty as Tirzah, as lovely as Jerusalem—you look stunning!
5 Aparta de mí tus ojos, porque ellos me conturban. Es tu cabellera, como una manada de cabras que va por las laderas de Galaad.
Please turn your eyes away from me—they're driving me insane! Your hair flows down like a flock of goats descending Mount Gilead.
6 Tus dientes son como un rebaño de ovejas que suben del lavadero, todas con crías gemelas, y no hay entre ellas una estéril.
Your teeth are as white as a flock of sheep that are just shorn and washed. None of them are missing—they are all perfectly matched!
7 Como mitades de granada son tus mejillas, detrás de tu velo.
Your cheeks are the blushing color of pomegranates behind your veil.
8 Sesenta son las reinas, ochenta las concubinas, e innumerables las doncellas.
There may be sixty queens and eighty concubines, and countless more women,
9 Pero una es mi paloma, mi perfecta; única para su madre, la predilecta de aquella que la engendró. Las jóvenes la vieron, y la proclamaron dichosa; la vieron las reinas y concubinas, y la alabaron.
but my love, my perfect love, she's the only one! She's her mother's favorite, special to the one who gave birth to her. Young women see her and say how lucky she is; queens and concubines sing her praises.
10 ¿Quién es esta que avanza como la aurora, hermosa como la luna, pura como el sol, temible como batallones de guerra?
Who is this who is like the dawn shining down from above, beautiful as the moon, bright as the shining sun? You look stunning!
11 He bajado al nogueral, para mirar las flores del valle, para ver si ha brotado la vid, si florecen los granados.
I went down to the walnut orchard to see if the trees were in leaf in the valley, to find out whether the grapevines had budded or the pomegranates were in bloom.
12 No reconozco mi alma; ¡me ha puesto en los carros de Aminadib!
I was so excited it was like I was riding in a royal chariot.
13 ¡Vuelve, vuelve, Sulamita! ¡Vuelve, vuelve, para que te miremos! ¿Por qué miráis a la Sulamita como las danzas de Mahanaim?
Come back, come back, Shulammite woman; come back, come back, so we can look at you! Woman: Why do you want to look at the Shulammite dancing the dance of two camps?
