O quam tu pulchra es, amica mea

Oh, comme tu es belle, mon amie
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin
Oh, comme tu es belle, mon amie,
ma colombe, ma fiancée,
mon immaculée !
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Tes yeux, tes de colombes.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Tes cheveux comme un troupeau de chèvres.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Tes dents comme un troupeau tondu.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Tes lèvres comme un ruban écarlate.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Ton cou comme les tours de David.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
Tes deux seins comme deux faons
jumeaux d'une biche.
Oh, comme tu es belle !
