Original text and translations

Song of Solomon 6:10 Latin.png Latin text

Quae est ista quae progreditur
quasi aurora consurgens,
pulchra ut luna, electa ut sol,
terribilis ut castrorum acies ordinata ?

English.png English translation

Who is she that cometh forth
as the morning rising,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army set in array ?

English.png English translation by Mick Swithinbank

Who is she that cometh like the dawn,
fair as the moon, bright as the sun,
terrible as an army prepared for battle?

French.png French translation by Gabriel Thoorens

Qui est celle-ci qui s'avance comme l'aube naissante,
Belle comme la Lune, Resplendissante comme le Soleil,
Terrible comme un armée rangée en ordre de bataille.
