La sposa [English translation]

You grew up like a cedar in Lebanon

Like a cypress on the Hermon Mountains 1

Like a majestic olive tree in the plain

You grew up like a planar

Like palm in Engaddi 2

And roses in Jericho

It is lush as a flash of fire

Fire that inebriates me

You smell like cinnamon myrrh onyx storace

And between a thousand and a thousand I would recognize you

Tell me, my sweetheart, where it is hiding

Where is the water that will quench my thirst?

Tell me, my dear, my lover's secret

The secret that binds you to me.

You are sweeter and more beautiful than virgin honey

And it is the perfume of the sound of his name

Like the salt in Engaddi

Salt as a powder

You smell like cinnamon myrrh onyx storace

And between a thousand and a thousand I would recognize you

Tell me, my soul, the fear of the lover

Of the lover looking for you in me

Tell me, my dear, how to be born from nothing

If I do not have anything but you, please stay with me

Tell me, my soul, how to be born from nothing

If I do not have anything but you, please stay with me

Tell me, my dear, my lover's secret

Of the lover who stays with me
