Veni de Libano, veni amica mea, columba mea, formosa mea.
O quam tu pulchra es.
Veni, veni, coronaberis.
Surge, surge, propera, amica mea, soror mea, sponsa mea, immaculata mea et veni.
O quam tu pulchra es, amica mea, columba mea, formosa mea, immaculata mea.

Come out of Lebanon, come, my love, my dove, my beautiful one.
Oh, how beautiful you are.
Come, come to be crowned.
Arise, arise, make haste, my love, my sister, my spouse, my perfect one, and come away.
Oh, how beautiful you are, my love, my dove, my beautiful one, my perfect one.
