Latin text

Descendi in ortum meum

ut viderem poma convallium,

et inspicerem si floruissent vineae,

et germinassent mala punica.

Revertere, Sunamitis,

ut intueamur te.

English translation by Mick Swithinbank

(Bridegroom:) I went down into my garden

to see the fruits of the valley,

and to see whether the vines flourished

and the pomegranates budded.

(Unidentified speakers:) Turn, O Shulamite,

that we may look upon thee.
