WEB World English Bible (Classic, with Deuterocanon)
1 Aquí estoy en mi huerto, amada mía, novia mía. Reúno la mirra con las especias mías y como mi panal con la miel. Bebo mi vino con mi leche. El coro ¡Oh, amado y amada, coman y beban! ¡Sí, beban hasta saciarse!
1 I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride. I have gathered my myrrh with my spice; I have eaten my honeycomb with my honey; I have drunk my wine with my milk. Friends Eat, friends! Drink, yes, drink abundantly, beloved.
2 Cierta noche, mientras dormía, se me despertó en sueños el corazón. Oí la voz de mi amado; ¡llamaba a la puerta de mi recámara! «Ábreme, amada mía; amor mío, mi linda paloma», decía, «pues mi cabeza está empapada de rocío; la humedad de la noche corre por mi cabello».
2 I was asleep, but my heart was awake. It is the voice of my beloved who knocks: “Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my undefiled; for my head is filled with dew, and my hair with the dampness of the night.”
3 Pero yo le dije: «Ya me desvestí. ¿Me visto otra vez? Ya me lavé los pies; ¿me los vuelvo a ensuciar?».
3 I have taken off my robe. Indeed, must I put it on? I have washed my feet. Indeed, must I soil them?
4 Mi amado trataba de abrir el cerrojo de la puerta, y mi corazón se estremeció.
4 My beloved thrust his hand in through the latch opening. My heart pounded for him.
5 Salté para abrirle; mis manos destilaban perfume y mis dedos preciosa mirra cuando empujé el cerrojo.
5 I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
6 Le abrí a mi amado, pero ya no estaba. El corazón se me detuvo. Lo busqué y no pude hallarlo en ninguna parte. Lo llamé, pero no hubo respuesta.
6 I opened to my beloved; but my beloved left, and had gone away. My heart went out when he spoke. I looked for him, but I didn’t find him. I called him, but he didn’t answer.
7 Los centinelas me encontraron mientras rondaban la ciudad, me golpearon y me hirieron. Los vigilantes de la torre me arrancaron el velo.
7 The watchmen who go about the city found me. They beat me. They bruised me. The keepers of the walls took my cloak away from me.
8 Les ruego, mujeres de Jerusalén, que si encuentran a mi amado, le digan que me muero de amor.
8 I adjure you, daughters of Jerusalem, If you find my beloved, that you tell him that I am faint with love.
9 Dinos, bella entre las mujeres, ¿en qué aventaja tu amado a otros hombres, para que así nos ruegues?
9 How is your beloved better than another beloved, you fairest among women? How is your beloved better than another beloved, that you do so adjure us?
10 Mi amado es bronceado y hermoso, el mejor entre diez mil.
10 My beloved is white and ruddy. The best among ten thousand.
11 Su cabeza es oro finísimo, y tiene el cabello negro y ondulado.
11 His head is like the purest gold. His hair is bushy, black as a raven.
12 Sus ojos son perfectos; parecen palomas que se bañan en un estanque de leche.
12 His eyes are like doves beside the water brooks, washed with milk, mounted like jewels.
13 Sus mejillas son como lecho de dulce bálsamo, como cultivos de aromáticas hierbas. Perfumados lirios son sus labios, como mirra es su aliento.
13 His cheeks are like a bed of spices with towers of perfumes. His lips are like lilies, dropping liquid myrrh.
14 Barras de oro incrustadas de topacio son sus brazos; su cuerpo es marfil reluciente incrustado de zafiro.
14 His hands are like rings of gold set with beryl. His body is like ivory work overlaid with sapphires.
15 Sus piernas, como columnas de mármol asentadas en bases de oro finísimo, fuerte como cedro del Líbano; él es sin par.
15 His legs are like pillars of marble set on sockets of fine gold. His appearance is like Lebanon, excellent as the cedars.
16 Su boca es dulcísima, él es todo un amor. Así, oh mujeres de Jerusalén, es mi amado, ¡así es mi amor!
16 His mouth is sweetness; yes, he is altogether lovely. This is my beloved, and this is my friend, daughters of Jerusalem.

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).
I am come into My garden, My sister, My spouse; (now in the place where He was crucified was a garden;) and what takest Thou thence?

Filled with these thoughts may you, even in sleep, enjoy the pleasure of the day, so that you may be permitted to say, "I sleep but my heart waketh," meditating day and night upon the law of the Lord, to Whom be glory and power world without end.

… begotten, and for forgiveness of sins; even as it was emblematically foretold that Christ should be thus manifested in the appearance of His eyes; for in the Canticles she cries concerning the Bridegroom, and says, Thine eyes are as doves by the rivers of water.
