Original text and translations

Latin.png Latin text

Vulnerasti cor meum, soror mea, sponsa,
vulnerasti cor meum in uno oculorum tuorum et in uno crine colli tui.
Quam pulchrae sunt mammae tuae, soror mea, sponsa.
Pulchriora sunt ubera tua vino, et odor unguentorum tuorum super omnia aromata.
(4/9-10)

Thou hast wounded my heart, my sister, my spouse,
thou hast wounded my heart with one of thy eyes, and with one hair of thy neck.
How beautiful are thy breasts, my sister, my spouse!
thy breasts are more beautiful than wine, and the sweet smell of thy ointments above all aromatical spices.
