Cantar de los Cantares 4
1 He aquí que eres hermosa, amor mío. Contempla, eres hermosa. Tus ojos son como palomas detrás de tu velo. Tu pelo es como un rebaño de cabras, que descienden del monte Galaad.
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 Tus dientes son como un rebaño recién esquilado, que han surgido del lavado, donde cada uno de ellos tiene gemelos. Ninguno de ellos está afligido.
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 Tus labios son como un hilo escarlata. Tu boca es encantadora. Tus sienes son como un trozo de granada detrás de tu velo.
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 Tu cuello es como la torre de David construida para una armería, en la que cuelgan mil escudos, todos los escudos de los hombres poderosos.
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 Tus dos pechos son como dos cervatillos que son gemelos de una corza, que se alimentan entre los lirios.
Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
6 Hasta que el día se enfríe y las sombras huyan, Iré a la montaña de la mirra, a la colina del incienso.
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 Todos ustedes son hermosos, mi amor. No hay ninguna mancha en ti.
My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
8 Ven conmigo desde el Líbano, mi novia, conmigo desde el Líbano. Mira desde la cima de Amana, desde la cima de Senir y Hermón, de las guaridas de los leones, de las montañas de los 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 Has embelesado mi corazón, hermana mía, mi novia. Has embelesado mi corazón con uno de tus ojos, con una cadena de su cuello.
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 ¡Qué hermoso es tu amor, hermana mía, novia mía! Cuánto mejor es tu amor que el vino, ¡la fragancia de sus perfumes que todo tipo de especias!
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 Tus labios, novia mía, gotean como el panal de miel. La miel y la leche están bajo tu lengua. El olor de tus prendas es como el olor del Líbano.
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 Mi hermana, mi novia, es un jardín cerrado; un resorte bloqueado, una fuente 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 Tus brotes son un huerto de granadas, con frutos preciosos, henna con plantas de 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 nardo y azafrán, cálamo y canela, con todo tipo de árbol de incienso; mirra y áloes, con todas las mejores especias,
and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
15 una fuente de jardines, un pozo de aguas vivas, corrientes que fluyen desde el Líbano.
[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 ¡Despierta, viento del norte, y ven, sur! Sopla en mi jardín, para que sus especias fluyan. Deja que mi amado entre en su jardín, y probar sus preciosos frutos.
[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].
