Original text and translations

Latin text Ecce tu púlchra es, amíca méa! Ecce tu púlchra es! Oculi túi columbárum. Ecce tu púlcher es, dilécte mi, et decórus! Léctulus nóster flóridus. Tígna domórum nostrárum cédrina, Laqueária nóstra cypréssina.

English translation Behold, you are beautiful, my love! Behold, you are beautiful! Your eyes are of doves.  Behold, you are handsome, my beloved, and comely! Our bed is adorned with flowers. The beams of our houses are of cedar, Our fretted roofs are of cypress.
