Cantares 2

Mon bien-aimé est pareil au chevreuil ou au faon des biches. Le voici qui se tient derrière notre muraille, qui regarde par les fenêtres, qui observe par le treillis!

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.
