Cantar de los Cantares 4
1 Mira, que hermosa eres, mi amor, eres hermosa; tienes los ojos de una paloma; escondidas tras tu velo; tu cabello es como un rebaño de cabras, que descansan del lado de 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 de ovejas cuya lana está recién cortada, que sale de la ropa; cada uno tiene mellizos, y ninguna entre ellas es estéril.
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 rojos son como un hilo brillante, y tu boca es hermosa al hablar; Tus sienes son como frutas de granada debajo 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 hecha para un almacén de armas, en la que cuelgan mil corazas, las corazas para los combatientes.
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 gacelas mellizas, que comen entre los lirios.
Your breasts are [as beautiful] [SIM] as two (fawns/young gazelles) that eat [grass] among lilies.
6 Hasta que llegue la noche, y el cielo se oscurezca lentamente, iré al monte de la mirra y al monte 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 Toda tú eres hermosa, mi amor; No hay ninguna marca en ti.
My darling, you are completely beautiful; your body is perfectly [formed]!
8 Ven conmigo del Líbano, mi novia, conmigo del Líbano; contempla desde la cima de Amana, desde la cima de Senir y Hermón, desde los lugares de los leones, desde 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 Me has quitado el corazón, hermana mía, novia mía; ¡Me has quitado el corazón, con una mirada lo has tomado, con una cadena de tu 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 y el olor de tus aceites que cualquier perfume!
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 De tus labios está cayendo miel; Miel y leche están debajo de tu lengua; y el olor de tu ropa 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 Un jardín amurallado es mi hermana, mi novia; Un jardín cerrado, un manantial de agua sellado, una fuente cerrada.
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 El producto del huerto son las granadas; Con todas las mejores frutas, henna y 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 Nardos y azafrán; cálamo y canela, con todos los árboles de incienso; Mirra y áloes, con todas las principales especias.
and saffron and calamus and cinnamon and many other kinds of incense, and myrrh and aloes and many [other] fine spices.
15 Eres una fuente de jardines, un manantial de aguas vivas y aguas que fluyen del 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, oh viento del norte; y ven, oh sur, soplando en mi jardín, para que salgan sus especias. Amado mío ven a tu jardín y come de sus buenos 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].
