Cantares 5

Io mi levai, per aprire al mio amico; E le mie mani stillarono mirra, E le mie dita mirra schietta, Sopra la maniglia della serratura.

Yo me levanté para abrir á mi amado, y mis manos gotearon mirra, y mis dedos mirra que corría sobre las aldabas del candado.

I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
