1 ¡Ojalá fueras mi hermano, que mamó de los pechos de mi madre! Si te encontrara en la calle, te besaría y nadie me despreciaría. 2 Te llevaría de la mano a la casa de mi madre, y ella me enseñaría. Te daría a beber vino con especias y jugo de granada. 3 Su mano izquierda estaría debajo de mi cabeza, y con la derecha me abrazaría. 4 Les pido, hijas de Jerusalén, que no despierten el amor antes de que esté listo. 5 ¿Quién es esta que sube del desierto apoyada en su amado? Ella Yo te desperté debajo del manzano, donde tu madre te dio a luz; allí sufrió los dolores de tu nacimiento. 6 Ponme como un sello sobre tu corazón, como un sello sobre tu brazo. El amor es fuerte como la muerte, y los celos son crueles como el lugar de los muertos. Sus brasas son brasas de fuego; sus llamas son violentas. 7 Muchas aguas no podrán apagar el amor, ni las aguas profundas podrán vencerlo. Si un hombre diera todas las riquezas de su casa por amor, se considerarían un precio insuficiente. 8 Tenemos una hermana pequeña que todavía no tiene pechos. ¿Qué haremos por nuestra hermana el día en que la entreguen a un hombre? 9 Si ella es un muro, construiremos sobre ella una base firme de plata; y si es una puerta, la cerraremos con madera de cedro. 10 Yo soy un muro, y mis pechos son como torres. Entonces, a sus ojos, fui una mujer afortunada. 11 Salomón tenía un viñedo en Baal-hamón. Lo arrendó a unos cuidadores, y cada uno tenía que darle mil piezas de plata por su fruto. 12 Mi viñedo, que es mío, está delante de mí. Tú, Salomón, tendrás las mil piezas de plata, y los que cuidan su fruto, doscientas. 13 Tú que descansas en los jardines, los amigos escuchan tu voz. Déjame oírla también. 14 Ven pronto, amado mío, y sé como una gacela en las montañas de las especias.

What the Fathers said
Passages from the Church Fathers that expound or quote this chapter, verbatim from the public-domain Schaff edition (19th-century English translations).
How these were chosen
“Commentary” is the opening of a homily or exposition on this chapter (John Chrysostom’s homilies, Augustine’s tractates, sermons and expositions of the Psalms). “Quotes” are sentences where the edition’s own footnotes identify a quotation of a verse here, kept only when the wording matches the verse. Only works whose authorship is not in doubt are used. Psalms follow the Hebrew/English numbering (Augustine numbers them as the Septuagint does: his Psalm 50 is Psalm 51 here).
Of this it is said, "Love is strong as death." For as when death cometh, it cannot be resisted; by whatever arts, whatever medicines, you meet it; the violence of death can none avoid who is born mortal; so against the violence of love can the world do nothing.

… ye know how great a thing jealousy is: and therefore He said, to whom these things are clearly known, "For full of jealousy is the rage of a husband;" "he will not spare in the day of vengeance:" and "jealousy is cruel as the grave." And we too know of many that have chosen to give up their lives rather …

Many waters quench not love, neither do rivers drown it; He was dead whom they sought, yet was not the hope of the Resurrection quenched.

Hear the Song of songs: "Love is strong as death." A great saying that, brethren, "Love is strong as death." The strength of charity could not be expressed in grander terms than these, "Love is strong as death." For who resisteth death, my brethren?
