Descéndi in órtum méum,
ut vidérem póma convállium,
et inspícerem si floruíssent vínee,
et germinássent mála púnica.
Revértere, revértere,
ut intueámur te.
Alleluya.

I went down to my garden
to look at the fruits of the valleys
and to see if the vines were blossoming
and the pomegranates were sprouting.
Turn back, turn back,
that I may gaze upon you.
Alleluia.
