Cânticos 7

1 How beautiful are your sandaled feet, princess 7:1 Lit daughter of a nobleman, or prince, 7:1 Ps 45:13

The curves of your thighs are like jewelry,

the handiwork of master.

2 Your navel is rounded bowl;

it never lacks mixed wine.

Your belly is mound of wheat

surrounded by lilies.

3 Your breasts are like two fawns,

twins of gazelle 7:3 Sg 4:5

4 Your neck is like tower of ivory 7:4 Sg 4:4

your eyes like pools in Heshbon

by Bath-rabbims gate.

Your nose is like the tower of Lebanon

looking toward Damascus.

5 Your head crowns you  7:5 Lit head upon you is like Mount Carmel,

the hair of your head like purple cloth 

a king could be held captive  7:5 Sg 4:9 in your tresses.

6 How beautiful you are and how pleasant 7:6 Sg 1:15–16

my love, with such delights!

7 Your stature is like palm tree;

your breasts are clusters of fruit.

8 I said, "I will climb the palm tree

and take hold of its fruit. 7:8 Pr 5:19

May your breasts be like clusters of grapes,

and the fragrance of your breath like apricots 7:8 Sg 2:3

9 Your mouth  7:9 Lit palate is like fine wine  7:9 Sg 5:16  

Woman

flowing smoothly for my love,

gliding past my lips and teeth 7:9 LXX, Syr, Vg; MT reads past lips of sleepers

10 I am my love’s,

and his desire  7:10 Gn 3:16; 4:7 is for me 7:10 Sg 2:16; 6:3; 8:6

11 Come, my love,

let’s go to the field;

let’s spend the night among the henna blossoms 7:11 Or the villages

12 Let’s go early to the vineyards;

let’s see if the vine has budded,

if the blossom has opened,

if the pomegranates are in bloom 7:12 Sg 6:11

There I will give you my caresses.

13 The mandrakes  7:13 Gn 30:14–16 give off fragrance,

and at our doors is every delicacy,

both new and old.

I have treasured them up for you, my love.
