Text and translations

Latin text (Ct 7, 1-6) Quam pulchri sunt gressus tui, filia principis! Collum tuum, sicut turris eburnea. Oculi tui, divini, et comae capitis sicut purpura regis. Quam pulchra es, et quam decora, carissima! Alleluia.

Spanish translation ¡Qué hermosos son tus pasos, hija del príncipe! Tu cuello es como una torre de marfil. Tus ojos son divinos y los cabellos de tu cabeza, como la púrpura regia. ¡Qué hermosa eres y qué encantadora, amadísima! ¡Aleluya! Translation by Alejandro Borrego Pérez
