Cantar de los Cantares 6
1 ¿Adónde se fue tu amado, Oh tú, la más hermosa entre las mujeres? ¿Adónde fue tu amado, Para que lo busquemos contigo?
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.
2 Mi amado bajó a su huerto, A las eras de las especias para apacentar entre los huertos y recoger los lirios.
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.
3 Yo soy de mi amado y mi amado es mío. Él apacienta entre lirios.
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].
4 Oh amada mía, eres hermosa como Tirsa, Deseable como Jerusalén, Imponente como un ejército con estandartes.
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.
5 Aparta tus ojos de mí, Porque me conturban. Tu cabellera es como un rebaño de cabras recostadas en las laderas de Galaad.
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].
6 Tus dientes, como un rebaño de ovejas que suben del lavadero, Todas con crías gemelas, Y ninguna entre ellas estéril.
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.
7 Tus mejillas, detrás de tu velo, dos mitades de granada.
Beneath your veil, your cheeks are like [SIM] the halves of a pomegranate.
8 Si 60 son las reinas, 80 las concubinas, Y sinnúmero las doncellas,
Even if a king had 60 queens and 80 (concubines/slave wives) and more young women than anyone can count,
9 Una sola es mi paloma, la perfecta mía, Una sola, predilecta de su madre. Las doncellas la vieron y la consideran inmensamente feliz. La alabaron las reinas y las concubinas.
[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].
10 ¿Quién es la que se asoma como el alba, Hermosa como la luna, Límpida como el sol, Imponente como un escuadrón abanderado?
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?
11 Al huerto de los nogales descendí A ver los frutos del valle, A ver si brotaba la vid, Si florecían los granados.
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.
12 Antes que lo supiera, Mi alma me puso entre las carrozas de Abinadab.
[But] before I realized it, my desire [to make love caused me to be as excited as] a prince riding in a chariot.
13 ¡Vuelve, vuelve, oh sulamita! ¡Vuelve, vuelve y te contemplaremos! ¿Qué quieren ver en la sulamita? Algo como las danzas de Majanaim, ¡Cuán graciosos son tus pasos en sandalias, oh hija del príncipe!
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?
