Our translations:  ENG GER
In lectulo meo, [per]1 noctes,
quæsivi quem diligit anima mea;
quæsivi illum, et non inveni.

Adjuro vos, filiae Jerusalem,
si inveneritis dilectum meum,
ut nuntietis ei quia amore langueo.

Auf meinem Lager, die ganze Nacht...
Language: German (Deutsch)  after the Latin 
Auf meinem Lager, die ganze Nacht hindurch,
habe ich ihn gesucht, den meine Seele liebt.
Ich habe ihn gesucht und ich habe ihn nicht gefunden.

Ich flehe euch an, Töchter Jerusalems,
so ihr meinen Geliebten findet,
sagt ihm, ich sei krank vor Liebe.
