Cantares 4

Voici, tu es belle, mon amie ; voici, tu es belle ! Tes yeux sont des colombes derrière ton voile ; tes cheveux sont comme un troupeau de chèvres sur les pentes de la montagne de Galaad.

HE aquí que tú eres hermosa, amiga mía; he aquí que tú eres hermosa; tus ojos entre tus guedejas como de paloma; tus cabellos como manada de cabras, que se muestran desde el monte de Galaad.

Behold, thou art fair, my love; behold, thou art fair; thou hast doves’ eyes within thy locks: thy hair is as a flock of goats, that appear from mount Gilead.

Behold, you are beautiful, my love. Behold, you are beautiful. Your eyes are like doves behind your veil. Your hair is as a flock of goats, that descend from Mount Gilead.

Tes dents sont comme un troupeau de †brebis tondues, qui montent du lavoir, qui toutes ont des jumeaux, et pas une d’elles n’est stérile.

Tus dientes, como manadas de trasquiladas ovejas, que suben del lavadero, todas con crías mellizas, y ninguna entre ellas estéril.

Thy teeth are like a flock of sheep that are even shorn, which came up from the washing; whereof every one bear twins, and none is barren among them.

Your teeth are like a newly shorn flock, which have come up from the washing, where every one of them has twins. None is bereaved among them.

Tes lèvres sont comme un fil écarlate, et ta bouche est agréable ; ta joue est comme un quartier de grenade derrière ton voile.

Tus labios, como un hilo de grana, y tu habla hermosa; tus sienes, como cachos de granada á la parte adentro de tus guedejas.

Thy lips are like a thread of scarlet, and thy speech is comely: thy temples are like a piece of a pomegranate within thy locks.

Your lips are like scarlet thread. Your mouth is lovely. Your temples are like a piece of a pomegranate behind your veil.

Ton cou est comme la tour de David, bâtie pour y suspendre des armures ; mille boucliers y sont suspendus, tous les pavois des vaillants hommes.

Tu cuello, como la torre de David, edificada para muestra; mil escudos están colgados de ella, todos escudos de valientes.

Thy neck is like the tower of David builded for an armoury, whereon there hang a thousand bucklers, all shields of mighty men.

Your neck is like David’s tower built for an armory, on which a thousand shields hang, all the shields of the mighty men.

Tes deux seins sont comme deux faons jumeaux d’une gazelle, qui paissent parmi les lis.

Tus dos pechos, como dos cabritos mellizos de gama, que son apacentados entre azucenas.

Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins, which feed among the lilies.

Your two breasts are like two fawns that are twins of a roe, which feed among the lilies.

Jusqu’à ce que l’aube se lève, et que les ombres fuient, j’irai à la montagne de la myrrhe et à la colline de l’encens.

Hasta que apunte el día y huyan las sombras, iréme al monte de la mirra, y al collado del incienso.

Until the day break, and the shadows flee away, I will get me to the mountain of myrrh, and to the hill of frankincense.

Toda tú eres hermosa, amiga mía, y en ti no hay mancha.

Thou art all fair, my love; there is no spot in thee.

You are all beautiful, my love. There is no spot in you.

†Viens avec moi du Liban, †ma fiancée, viens du Liban avec moi ; regarde du sommet de l’Amana, du sommet du Senir et de l’Hermon, des tanières des lions, des montagnes des léopards.

Conmigo del Líbano, oh esposa, conmigo ven del Líbano: mira desde la cumbre de Amana, desde la cumbre de Senir y de Hermón, desde las guaridas de los leones, desde los montes de los tigres.

Come with me from Lebanon, my spouse, with me from Lebanon: look from the top of Amana, from the top of Shenir and Hermon, from the lions’ dens, from the mountains of the leopards.

Tu m’as ravi le cœur, ma sœur, †ma fiancée ; tu m’as ravi le cœur par l’un de tes yeux, par l’un des colliers de ton cou.

Prendiste mi corazón, hermana, esposa mía; has preso mi corazón con uno de tus ojos, con una gargantilla de tu cuello.

Que de charme ont tes amours, ma sœur, †ma fiancée ! Que tes amours sont meilleures que le vin, et l’odeur de tes parfums plus que tous les aromates !

¡Cuán hermosos son tus amores, hermana, esposa mía! ¡cuánto mejores que el vino tus amores, y el olor de tus ungüentos que todas las especias aromáticas!

Tes lèvres, †ma fiancée, distillent le miel ; sous ta langue il y a du miel et du lait, et l’odeur de tes vêtements est comme l’odeur du Liban.

Como panal de miel destilan tus labios, oh esposa; miel y leche hay debajo de tu lengua; y el olor de tus vestidos como el olor del Líbano.

Thy lips, O my spouse, drop as the honeycomb: honey and milk are under thy tongue; and the smell of thy garments is like the smell of Lebanon.

une fontaine dans les jardins, un puits d’eaux vives, qui coulent du Liban !

Fuente de huertos, pozo de aguas vivas, que corren del Líbano.

A fountain of gardens, a well of living waters, and streams from Lebanon.

Réveille-toi, nord, et viens, midi ; souffle dans mon jardin, pour que ses aromates s’exhalent ! Que mon bien-aimé vienne dans son jardin, et qu’il mange ses fruits exquis.

Levántate, Aquilón, y ven, Austro: sopla mi huerto, despréndanse sus aromas. Venga mi amado á su huerto, y coma de su dulce fruta.

Awake, O north wind; and come, thou south; blow upon my garden, that the spices thereof may flow out. Let my beloved come into his garden, and eat his pleasant fruits.
