1 Cantar de los cantares de Salomón. 2 Bésame una y otra vez, pues tu amor es más dulce que el vino. 3 ¡Qué fragante es tu loción, y qué agradable tu nombre! Con razón te aman todas las doncellas. 4 ¡Llévame contigo; vámonos corriendo! Las jóvenes de Jerusalén ¡Qué felices seremos! Tu amor es mejor que el vino. ¡Con razón te aman todas las doncellas! 5 Soy morena y hermosa, hijas de Jerusalén, bronceada como las oscuras tiendas de Cedar. ¡Y soy bella como las tiendas de Salomón! 6 No me desprecien sólo porque mi piel sea tan morena; el sol me ha quemado. Mis hermanos, enojados conmigo, me mandaron al sol a cuidar las viñas; pero la mía no cuidé. 7 Dime, amado mío, ¿dónde llevas hoy tu rebaño? ¿Dónde harás descansar tus ovejas al mediodía? ¿Por qué he de andar vagando entre los rebaños de tus compañeros? 8 Si no lo sabes, hermosa entre las mujeres, sigue las huellas de mi rebaño hasta las tiendas de los pastores, y apacienta a sus alrededores tus cabritos. 9 ¡Eres tan bella como las yeguas de faraón, amor mío! 10 ¡Qué lindas tus mejillas entre tus pendientes! ¡Qué hermoso luce tu cuello entre los collares! 11 Haremos para ti pendientes de oro con adornos de plata. 12 En su cama, el rey está hechizado por la fragancia de mi perfume. 13 Mi amado es bolsita de mirra entre mis pechos. 14 Ramo de flores en los jardines de Engadi, es mi amado. 15 ¡Qué bella eres, amor mío! ¡Qué bella eres! Tus ojos son suaves como paloma. 16 ¡Qué hermoso eres, amor mío! Estamos recostados en la hierba, 17 a la sombra de cedros y abetos.

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).
An example of this is that passage in the Song of Solomon, "I am black, but comely, as the tents of Kedar, as the curtains of Solomon." For it is not said, I was black as the tents of Kedar, but am now comely as the curtains of Solomon.

For now meanwhile thou standest outside the door: but God grant that you all may say, The King hath brought me into His chamber.

So then this Bridegroom, "fair in beauty above the children of men," became deformed that He might make His Spouse fair to whom it is said, "O thou beauteous among women," of whom it is said, "Who is this that cometh up, whitened" with the brightness of light, not the colouring of falsehood!

… with you, all Beauteous as He was, prayed for you; "Father," saith He, "forgive them, for they know not what they do." For if He were without comeliness, how is it that she loveth Him, who saith, "Tell me, O Thou whom my soul loveth"? How is it that she loveth Him?
