Grandi, "O quam tu pulchra es"

O quam tu pulchra es, amica mea,

quam pulchra es, columba mea,

o quam tu pulchra es, formosa mea.

Oculi tui columbarum,

capilli tui sicut greges caprarum

et dentes tui

sicut greges tonsarum.

O quam tu pulchra es.

Veni di Libano, amica mea,

columba mea, formosa mea.

O quam tu pulchra es,

veni, coronaberis.

Surge, surge, propera, sponsa mea,

surge, dilecta mea,

surge, immaculata mea.

Quia amore langueo.

Surge, veni, quia amore langueo.

O how fair you are, my love,

how fair you are, my dove,

how fair you are, my beauty.

Your eyes, the eyes of doves,

your hair, like a flock of goats,

and your teeth

like a flock of sheep newly shorn.

O how fair you are.

Come with me from Lebanon, my love,

my dove, my beauty.

O how fair you are,

come, you will make a garland.

Arise, hasten, my bride,

arise, my delight,

arise, my spotless one,

For I pine of love.

Arise, come, for I pine of love.
