Cantares 2

L’amico mio è simile a una gazzella o ad un cerbiatto. Eccolo, egli sta dietro al nostro muro, e guarda per la finestra, lancia occhiate attraverso alle persiane.

Mi amado es semejante al gamo, ó al cabrito de los ciervos. Helo aquí, está tras nuestra pared, mirando por las ventanas, mostrándose por las rejas.

My beloved is like a roe or a young hart: behold, he standeth behind our wall, he looketh forth at the windows, shewing himself through the lattice.

My beloved is like a roe or a young deer. Behold, he stands behind our wall! He looks in at the windows. He glances through the lattice.
