Canticum Canticorum 8
Biblia Sacra Vulgata
8 Quis mihi det te fratrem meum, sugentem ubera matris meae, ut inveniam te foris, et deosculer te, et jam me nemo despiciat?
2 Apprehendam te, et ducam in domum matris meae: ibi me docebis, et dabo tibi poculum ex vino condito, et mustum malorum granatorum meorum.
3 Laeva ejus sub capite meo, et dextera illius amplexabitur me.
4 [Sponsus.] Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem, ne suscitetis, neque evigilare faciatis dilectam, donec ipsa velit.
5 [Chorus.] Quae est ista quae ascendit de deserto, deliciis affluens, innixa super dilectum suum? [Sponsus.] Sub arbore malo suscitavi te; ibi corrupta est mater tua, ibi violata est genitrix tua.
6 [Sponsa.] Pone me ut signaculum super cor tuum, ut signaculum super brachium tuum, quia fortis est ut mors dilectio, dura sicut infernus aemulatio: lampades ejus lampades ignis atque flammarum.
7 Aquae multae non potuerunt extinguere caritatem, nec flumina obruent illam. Si dederit homo omnem substantiam domus suae pro dilectione, quasi nihil despiciet eam.
8 [Chorus Fratrum.] Soror nostra parva, et ubera non habet; quid faciemus sorori nostrae in die quando alloquenda est?
9 Si murus est, aedificemus super eum propugnacula argentea; si ostium est, compingamus illud tabulis cedrinis.
10 [Sponsa.] Ego murus, et ubera mea sicut turris, ex quo facta sum coram eo, quasi pacem reperiens.
11 [Chorus Fratrum.] Vinea fuit pacifico in ea quae habet populos: tradidit eam custodibus; vir affert pro fructu ejus mille argenteos.
12 [Sponsa.] Vinea mea coram me est. Mille tui pacifici, et ducenti his qui custodiunt fructus ejus.
13 [Sponsus.] Quae habitas in hortis, amici auscultant; fac me audire vocem tuam.
14 [Sponsa.] Fuge, dilecte mi, et assimilare capreae, hinnuloque cervorum super montes aromatum.

Song of Songs 8
New International Version
8 If only you were to me like a brother,
who was nursed at my mother’s breasts!
Then, if I found you outside,
I would kiss you,
and no one would despise me.
2 I would lead you
and bring you to my mother’s house(A)—
she who has taught me.
I would give you spiced wine to drink,
the nectar of my pomegranates.
3 His left arm is under my head
and his right arm embraces me.(B)
4 Daughters of Jerusalem, I charge you:
Do not arouse or awaken love
until it so desires.(C)
Friends
5 Who is this coming up from the wilderness(D)
leaning on her beloved?
She
Under the apple tree I roused you;
there your mother conceived(E) you,
there she who was in labor gave you birth.
6 Place me like a seal over your heart,
like a seal on your arm;
for love(F) is as strong as death,
its jealousy[a](G) unyielding as the grave.
It burns like blazing fire,
like a mighty flame.[b]
7 Many waters cannot quench love;
rivers cannot sweep it away.
If one were to give
all the wealth of one’s house for love,
it[c] would be utterly scorned.(H)
Friends
8 We have a little sister,
and her breasts are not yet grown.
What shall we do for our sister
on the day she is spoken for?
9 If she is a wall,
we will build towers of silver on her.
If she is a door,
we will enclose her with panels of cedar.
She
10 I am a wall,
and my breasts are like towers.
Thus I have become in his eyes
like one bringing contentment.
11 Solomon had a vineyard(I) in Baal Hamon;
he let out his vineyard to tenants.
Each was to bring for its fruit
a thousand shekels[d](J) of silver.
12 But my own vineyard(K) is mine to give;
the thousand shekels are for you, Solomon,
and two hundred[e] are for those who tend its fruit.
He
13 You who dwell in the gardens
with friends in attendance,
let me hear your voice!
She
