1 [Sponsa Osculetur me osculo oris sui; quia meliora sunt ubera tua vino,
1 CANCIÓN de canciones, la cual es de Salomón.
2 fragrantia unguentis optimis. Oleum effusum nomen tuum; ideo adolescentulæ dilexerunt te.
2 ¡Oh si él me besara con ósculos de su boca! porque mejores son tus amores que el vino.
3 Chorus Adolescentularum Trahe me, post te curremus in odorem unguentorum tuorum. Introduxit me rex in cellaria sua; exsultabimus et lætabimur in te, memores uberum tuorum super vinum. Recti diligunt te.
3 Por el olor de tus suaves ungüentos, (ungüento derramado es tu nombre,) por eso las doncellas te amaron.
4 Sponsa Nigra sum, sed formosa, filiæ Jerusalem, sicut tabernacula Cedar, sicut pelles Salomonis.
4 Llévame en pos de ti, correremos. Metióme el rey en sus cámaras: nos gozaremos y alegraremos en ti; acordarémonos de tus amores más que del vino: los rectos te aman.
5 Nolite me considerare quod fusca sim, quia decoloravit me sol. Filii matris meæ pugnaverunt contra me; posuerunt me custodem in vineis: vineam meam non custodivi.
5 Morena soy, oh hijas de Jerusalem, mas codiciable; como las cabañas de Cedar, como las tiendas de Salomón.
6 Indica mihi, quem diligit anima mea, ubi pascas, ubi cubes in meridie, ne vagari incipiam post greges sodalium tuorum.
6 No miréis en que soy morena, porque el sol me miró. Los hijos de mi madre se airaron contra mí, hiciéronme guarda de viñas; [y] mi viña, que era mía, no guardé.
7 Sponsus Si ignoras te, o pulcherrima inter mulieres, egredere, et abi post vestigia gregum, et pasce hædos tuos juxta tabernacula pastorum.
7 Hazme saber, ó tú á quien ama mi alma, dónde repastas, dónde haces tener majada al medio día: porque, ¿por qué había yo de estar como vagueando tras los rebaños de tus compañeros?
8 Equitatui meo in curribus Pharaonis assimilavi te, amica mea.
8 Si tú no lo sabes, oh hermosa entre las mujeres, sal, yéndote por las huellas del rebaño, y apacienta tus cabritas junto á las cabañas de los pastores.
9 Pulchræ sunt genæ tuæ sicut turturis; collum tuum sicut monilia.
9 A yegua de los carros de Faraón te he comparado, amiga mía.
10 Murenulas aureas faciemus tibi, vermiculatas argento.
10 Hermosas son tus mejillas entre los pendientes, tu cuello entre los collares.
11 Sponsa Dum esset rex in accubitu suo, nardus mea dedit odorem suum.
11 Zarcillos de oro te haremos, con clavos de plata.
12 Fasciculus myrrhæ dilectus meus mihi; inter ubera mea commorabitur.
12 Mientras que el rey estaba en su reclinatorio, mi nardo dió su olor.
13 Botrus cypri dilectus meus mihi in vineis Engaddi.
13 Mi amado es para mí un manojito de mirra, que reposa entre mis pechos.
14 Sponsus Ecce tu pulchra es, amica mea ! ecce tu pulchra es ! Oculi tui columbarum.
14 Racimo de copher en las viñas de Engadi es para mí mi amado.
15 Sponsa Ecce tu pulcher es, dilecte mi, et decorus ! Lectulus noster floridus.
15 He aquí que tú eres hermosa, amiga mía; he aquí que eres bella: tus ojos de paloma.
16 Tigna domorum nostrarum cedrina, laquearia nostra cypressina.]
16 He aquí que tú eres hermoso, amado mío, y suave: nuestro lecho también florido. 17 Las vigas de nuestra casa son de cedro, [y] de ciprés los artesonados.

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?
