Latin text
Nigra sum, sed formosa, o filiae Hierusalem;
nolite me considerare quod sum sub nigra
quia me coloravit sol: indica mihi, quem diligit anima mea,
ubi pascas ubi cubes in meridie,
ne vagari incipiam post greges sodalium tuorum.
(Song of Songs, Chapter 1)
English translation
Dark am I, yet lovely,
Daughters of Jerusalem,
Do not stare at me because I am dark,
for the sun has altered my colour.
Tell me, you whom I love, where you graze your flock
and where you rest at midday,
lest I begin to wander after the flocks of your companions.
