Original text and translations

Latin text Anima mea liquefacta est, ut dilectus locutus est, Vox enim eius dulcis, et facies eius decora. Labia eius lilia stillantia myrrham primam.

English translation My soul melted when my beloved spoke; For his voice is sweet, and his face is lovely. His lips are lilies dripping liquid myrrh. Translation by Pamela Dellal © courtesy Emmanuel Music, Boston, MA USA www.emmanuelmusic.org.
