Quae est ista quae processit1 sicut sol
et formosa tanquam Jerusalem?
Viderunt eam filiae Sion
et beatam dixerunt
et reginae laudaverunt eam.

2nd part - La Fage
Quae est ista quae ascendit per desertum,
sicut virgula fumi
ex aromatibus myrrhae et thuris.

2nd part - Manchicourt
Ista est speciosa inter filias Jerusalem,
pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol,
cuius odor vestimentorum
super omnia aromata.

Sicut2 dies verni circundabant eam
flores rosarum et lilia convallium.
[Viderunt eam...]3

English.png English translation

Who is she that came forth [ascended] like the sun
and beautiful as Jerusalem?
The daughters of Sion saw her
and called her blessed
and queens praised her.

2nd part - La Fage
Who is this that ascended from the wilderness
like a plume of smoke
from the spices of myrrh and incense.

2nd part - Manchicourt
This is the fair one among the daughters of Jerusalem,
beautiful as the moon, excellent as the sun,
the scent of whose garments
is above all spices.

2nd part - Massaino/Wismes
[And] like a spring day, rose blooms
and lilies of the valley surrounded her.
