Cantar de los Cantares 7

Reina-Valera 1909
Douay-Rheims Bible, American Edition (1899)
1¡CUÁN hermosos son tus pies en los calzados, oh hija de príncipe! Los contornos de tus muslos son como joyas, obra de mano de excelente maestro.
1What shalt thou see in the Sulamitess but the companies of camps? How beautiful are thy steps in shoes, O prince’s daughter! The joints of thy thighs are like jewels, that are made by the hand of a skillful workman.
2Tu ombligo, como una taza redonda, que no le falta bebida. Tu vientre, como montón de trigo, cercado de lirios.
2Thy navel is like a round bowl never wanting cups. Thy belly is like a heap of wheat, set about with lilies.
3Tus dos pechos, como dos cabritos mellizos de gama.
3Thy two breasts are like two young roes that are twins.
4Tu cuello, como torre de marfil; tus ojos, como las pesqueras de Hesbón junto á la puerta de Batrabbim; tu nariz, como la torre del Líbano, que mira hacia Damasco.
4Thy neck as a tower of ivory. Thy eyes like the fishpools in Hesebon, which are in the gate of the daughter of the multitude. Thy nose is as the tower of Libanus, that looketh toward Damascus.
5Tu cabeza encima de ti, como el Carmelo; y el cabello de tu cabeza, como la púrpura del rey ligada en los corredores.
5Thy head is like Carmel: and the hairs of thy head as the purple of the king bound in the channels.
6¡Qué hermosa eres, y cuán suave, oh amor deleitoso!
6How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!
7¡Y tu estatura es semejante á la palma, y tus pechos á los racimos!
7Thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of grapes.
8Yo dije: Subiré á la palma, asiré sus ramos: y tus pechos serán ahora como racimos de vid, y el olor de tu boca como de manzanas;
8I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the fruit thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and the odour of thy mouth like apples.
9Y tu paladar como el buen vino, que se entra á mi amado suavemente, y hace hablar los labios de los viejos.
9Thy throat like the best wine, worthy for my beloved to drink, and for his lips and his teeth to ruminate.
10Yo soy de mi amado, y conmigo tiene su contentamiento.
10I to my beloved, and his turning is towards me.
11Ven, oh amado mío, salgamos al campo, moremos en las aldeas.
11Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the field, let us abide in the villages.
12Levantémonos de mañana á las viñas; veamos si brotan las vides, si se abre el cierne, si han florecido los granados; allí te daré mis amores.
12Let us get up early to the vineyards, let us see if the vineyard flourish, if the flowers be ready to bring forth fruits, if the pomegranates flourish: there will I give thee my breasts.
13Las mandrágoras han dado olor, y á nuestras puertas hay toda suerte de dulces frutas, nuevas y añejas, que para ti, oh amado mío, he guardado.
13The mandrakes give a smell. In our gates are all fruits: the new and the old, my beloved, I have kept for thee.
