Translation notes:
The CPDL text consists of rearranged and somewhat altered excerpts from the Latin Vulgate: Canticum Canticorum (Song of Songs, AKA Song of Solomon), 4.9 and 5.2. The two parts are not presented in their original Biblical sequence; first we hear parts of Canticum 5.2, and following that, of 4.9. Furthermore, the two parts consist of lines that are not contiguous in the Biblical source, but rather are separated by eight intervening verses.
One notable deviation of the CPDL text from the Vulgate and the King James Version is the omission of the important phrase, "Vox dilecti mei pulsantis," which means "The voice of my beloved knocking."
The most substantial as well as puzzling alteration of the biblical text in the CPDL version occurs where the provocative phrase "soror mea, sponsa" of the Vulgate source ("my sister, my spouse" in the King James version) becomes simply "filia carissima" in the CPDL version. "Filia", of course, means daughter.

5:2 Ich schlafe, aber mein Herz liegt wach. Öffne mir, meine Schwester, meine Taube, meine Makellose, denn mein Haupt ist voll Tau und meine Locken voller Tropfen der Nacht.
4:9 Du hast mein Herz verwundet, teuerstes Mädchen, mit einem Blick deiner Augen und mit einem Haar in deinem Nacken.
