Latin text
- Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum, commoremur in villis,
- mane surgamus ad vineas, videamus si floruit vinea,
- si flores fructus parturiunt, si floruerunt mala punica:
- ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.
English translation
- Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, and lodge in the vilages;
- let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded,
- whether the grape blossoms have opened and the pomegranates are in bloom.
- There I will give you my breasts.
