La Voix du Bien‑Aimé
Language: French (Français)  after the Latin 
J’entends mon bien-aimé: voici qu’il arrive
sautant sur les montagnes,
bondissant sur les collines.
Mon bien-aimé est semblable à une gazelle
a un jeune faon.
Mon bien-aimé élève la voix, il me dit
Hâte toi la mienne amie, ma colombe et viens.
Car déjà l’hiver est passé,
la pluie s’en est allée et retirée
Sur notre terre les fleurs sont apparues
La voix de la tourterelle s’est fait entendre
Le figuier a produit ses figues
Les vignes florissantes exhalent leur parfum.
Montre moi ton visage,
que ta voix sonne en mes oreilles,
Car douce est ta voix et beau ton visage
Mon bien-aimé est à moi et moi à lui;
Il pait son troupeau parmi les lis.
Avant que poigne le jour
et que s’abaissent les ombres,
Reviens, sois semblable mon bien-aimé
a une gazelle au jeune faon
sur les montagnes de l’alliance.

From verses 10-17.
