Quae est ista quae ascéndit sicut sol,
   et formósa tamquam Jerúsalem?
Vidérunt eam fíliae Sion et beátam dixérunt,
   et regínae laudavérunt eam.

Ista est speciósa inter fílias Jerúsalem,
   pulchra ut luna, elécta ut sol,
   cujus odor vestimentórum
   super ómnia aromáta.

English.png English translation

Who is she that has ascended like the sun,
   and was as beautiful as Jerusalem?
Zion's daughters saw her and called her blessed,
   and queens praised her.

This is the fair one among the daughters of Jerusalem,
   beautiful as the moon, excellent as the sun,
   the scent of whose garments
   is above all manner of spices.
