O quam tu pulchra es, amica mea columba mea, formosa mea, immaculata mea! O quam tu pulchra es! Oculi tui, oculi columbarum. O quam tu pulchra es! Capilli tui sicut greges caprarum. O quam tu pulchra es! Dentos tui sicut greges tonsarum. O quam tu pulchra es! Sicut vitta coccinea labia tua. O quam tu pulchra es! Sicut turris David collum tuum. O quam tu pulchra es! Duo ubera tua sicut duo hinnuli capreae gemelli. O quam tu pulchra es!

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 !
