Invenerunt me costudes civitatis
Language: Latin 
Our translations:  FRE
Invenerunt me costudes civitatis.
Paululum cum pertransirem eos,
inveni quem diligit anima mea.
Tenui nec dimittam illum.
Egredimini, filiae Hierusalem,
et congratulamini mihi,
cantate dilecto meo cum laetitia,
cantate dilecto meo cum jubilo.
cantate dileto meo cum cythara.

Song of Solomon 3:3-5

Les gardes de la cité m'ont rencontrée
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
Les gardes de la cité m'ont rencontrée.
Un peu après les avoir dépassés
j'ai trouvé celui qu'aime mon âme.
Je l'ai saisi et je ne le laisserai pas.
Sortez, filles de Jérusalem,
et félicitez-moi ;
chantez mon bien-aimé avec allégresse,
chantez mon bien-aimé avec des cris de joie,
chantez mon bien-aimé avec la cithare.
