O quam tu pulchra es, amica mea, columba mea,
formosa mea, immaculata mea.
Oculi tui oculi columbarum.
Capilli tui sicut greges caprarum.
Dentes tui sicut greges tonsarum.
Sicut vitta coccinea labia tua.
Sicut turris David collum tuum.
Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinulli.
O quam tu pulchra es.

Oh, how beautiful you are, my love, my dove,
My beautiful one, my perfect one.
Your eyes are the eyes of doves.
Your hair is like a flock of goats.
Your teeth are like a flock of ewes.
Your lips are like a scarlet ribbon.
Your neck is like the tower of David.
Your breasts are like two fawns.
Oh, how beautiful you are.
