Tota pulchra es amica mea
Language: Latin  after the Latin
Available translation(s): ENG FIN
Tota pulchra es amica mea
et macula non est in te;
Favus distillans labia tua,
Mel et lac sub lingua tua.
Odor unguentorum tuorum
super omnia aromata.
Jam enim hiems transiit,
imber abiit et recessit.
Flores apparuerunt,
vineae florentes odorem dederunt
et vox turturis
audita est in terra nostra.
Surge, propera, amica mea
veni de Libano coronaberis.

You are wholly beautiful, my darling
Language: English  after the Latin
You are wholly beautiful, my darling
And there is not a stain on you;
Honeycomb dripping from your lips
Milk and honey under your tongue.
The scent of your perfume
(Is) above all other spices.
For the winter has already passed,
Storms went and receded.
Flowers appeared,
The blossoming vines gave off a scent,
And the voice of the turtle-dove
Was heard in our land.
Arise, be quick, my friend
You will come from Lebanon (and) be crowned.
