Original text and translations
Latin:
Descendi in ortum meum
ut viderem poma convallium,
et inspicerem si floruissent vineae,
et germinassent mala punica.
Revertere, Sunamitis,
ut intueamur te.
English translation:
(Bridegroom:) I went down into my garden
to see the fruits of the valley,
and to see whether the vines flourished
and the pomegranates budded.
(Unidentified speakers:) Turn, O Shulamite,
that we may look upon thee.
(translation by Mick Swithinbank
