Anima mea liquefacta est ut dilectus locutus est; quaesivi, et non inveni illum; vocavi, et non respondit mihi. Invenerunt me custodes civitatis: percusserunt me, et vulneraverunt me, tulerunt pallium meum custodes murorum: filiae Jerusalem, nunciate dilecto quia amore langueo. |
My soul melted when my beloved spoke; I sought, and did not find him; I called, and he did not answer me. The guardians of the city found me: they struck me, and they wounded me, the guardians of the walls took my veil: daughters of Jerusalem, tell my beloved that I languish for love. |
