Original text and translations

Latin text

Quam pulchra es amica mea et quam decora columba mea (, soror mea†).
Veni dilecta mea, formosa mea, sponsa mea.
Veni electa mea, vox tua dulcis et facies decora nimis.
Veni et coranaberis.

†Only in some voice parts

English translation by Edward Tambling

How beautiful art thou, O my love and how comely, O my dove (, my sister).
Come, my beloved, my beautiful one, my bride.
Come, my chosen one, thy voice is sweet and thy face too comely.
Come, and thou shalt be crowned.
