Cantares 3

Io vi scongiuro, o figliuole di Gerusalemme, per le gazzelle, per le cerve de’ campi, non svegliate, non svegliate l’amor mio, finch’essa non lo desideri!

Yo os conjuro, oh doncellas de Jerusalem, por las gamas y por las ciervas del campo, que no despertéis ni hagáis velar al amor, hasta que quiera.

I charge you, O ye daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, and by the hinds of the field, that ye stir not up, nor awake my love, till he please.

I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, by the roes, or by the hinds of the field, that you not stir up nor awaken love, until it so desires.
