“If you find my loved one
what will you tell him?
that I am sick of love!
or beautiful among women,
we will make for you gold pendants,
with silver grains
his fruit is sweet to my palate
he introduced me to the wine cell
and his banner on me is love
let me hear your voice,
because your voice is sweet,
your face is graceful
her head is gold, pure gold
your belly is a heap of wheat,
surrounded by lilies
how sweet your caresses are,
how much more delicious than your wine your caresses are
the smell of your perfumes surpasses all the aromas
nard and saffron, cinnamon and cinnamòmo
with all kinds of incense trees;
myrrh and aloe
you stole my heart
with just one glance of yours,
with a single pearl of your necklace! ”
