Original text and translations

Latin text Súrge, própera, amíca méa, formósa méa, et véni. Jam énim híems tránsiit; Imber ábiit, et recéssit. Flóres apparuérunt in térra nóstra. Témpus putatiónis advénit; Vox túrturis audíta est in térra nóstra; Fícus prótulit gróssos súos; Víneae floréntes dedérunt odórem súum. Súrge, formósa méa, amíca méa, spónsa méa, et véni: Osténde míhi fáciem túam, Sónet vox túa in áuribus méis; Vox énim túa dúlcis, et fácies túa decóra.

English translation Arise, make haste, my love, my beauty, and come. For lo, the winter is past; The rain is over and gone. Flowers have appeared in our land. The time of pruning has come; The voice of the turledove is heard in our land; The fig tree has put forth its first figs; The blooming vines have given their fragrance. Arise, my beauty, my love, my betrothed, and come: Show me your face, Let your voice sound in my ears; For your voice is sweet, and your face is lovely.
