Cantar de los Cantares 7
1 ¡Cuán hermosos son tus pies en los calzados, o! hija del príncipe! Los cercos de tus muslos son como ajorcas, obra de mano de excelente maestro.
How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess! Your curved thighs are like ornaments made by a master craftsman.
2 Tu ombligo, como una taza redonda, que no le falta bebida. Tu vientre, montón de trigo cercado de lirios.
Your navel is like a round bowl—may it never lack spiced wine! Your abdomen is like a mound of wheat surrounded by lilies.
3 Tus dos pechos, como dos cabritos mellizos de gama.
Your breasts are like two fawns, twins of a gazelle.
4 Tu cuello, como torre de marfil: tus ojos como las pesqueras de Jesebón junto a la puerta de Bat-rabem: tu nariz, como la torre del Líbano, que mira hacia Damasco.
Your neck is as elegant as a tower made of ivory. Your eyes shine like the pools of Heshbon by the Bathrabbin gate. Your nose is beautiful, prominent like the tower in Lebanon that faces Damascus.
5 Tu cabeza encima de ti, como la grana; y el cabello de tu cabeza, como la púrpura del rey ligada en los corredores.
Your head is as magnificent as Mount Carmel; your black hair has a purple sheen, as if a king was held captive in your locks!
6 ¡Qué hermosa eres, y cuán suave, o! amor deleitoso!
How beautiful you are, my love—how attractive are your charms!
7 Tu estatura es semejante a la palma; y tus pechos, a los racimos.
You are as tall and slender as a palm tree; your breasts are like its clusters of fruit.
8 Yo dije: Yo subiré a la palma, asiré sus ramos; y tus pechos serán ahora como racimos de vid; y el olor de tus narices, como de manzanas.
I tell myself, “I will climb the palm tree and take hold of the fruit.” May your breasts be like bunches of grapes on the vine, and your breath have the scent of apples!
9 Y tu paladar como el buen vino, que se entra a mi amado suavemente, y hace hablar los labios de los viejos.
May your kisses be like the best wine, going down smoothly, gliding over lips and teeth.
10 Yo soy de mi amado, y conmigo es su deseo.
My love is mine, and I am the one he desires!
11 Ven, o! amado mío, salgamos al campo, moremos en las aldeas.
Come, my love, let's go out into the countryside, and spend the night among the henna flowers.
12 Levantémosnos de mañana a las viñas: veamos si brotan las vides, si se abre el cierne, si han florecido los granados: allí te daré mis amores.
Let's go early to the vineyards and see if the vines have budded and are in flower, and if the pomegranates are blossoming. There I will give my love to you.
13 Las mandrágoras han dado olor; y en nuestras puertas hay todas dulzuras, nuevas, y viejas. Amado mío, yo las he guardado para ti.
The mandrakes give off their fragrant scent; we are surrounded by all kinds of delights, new as well as old, which I have saved up for you, my love.
