Song of Solomon, 8

1. Bride to Groom: Who will give you to me as my brother, feeding from the breasts of my mother, so that I may discover you outside, and may kiss you, and so that now no one may despise me?

1. O, da si mi brat, da si sisao prsa majke moje, našla bih te vani, poljubila bih te i nitko me zato ne bi prezirao.

2. I will take hold of you and lead you into my mother’s house. There you will teach me, and I will give you a cup of spiced wine, and of new wine from my pomegranates.

2. Povela bih te i uvela u kuæu majke svoje koja me odgojila, pojila bih te najboljim vinom i sokom od mogranja.

3. His left hand is under my head, and his right hand shall embrace me.

3. Njegova mi je lijeva ruka pod glavom, a desnom me grli.

4. Groom to Chorus: I bind you by oath, O daughters of Jerusalem, not to disturb or awaken the beloved, until she wills.

4. Zaklinjem vas, kæeri jeruzalemske, ne budite, ne budite ljubav mojuš dok sama ne bude htjela!

5. Chorus to Groom: Who is she, who ascends from the desert, flowing with delights, leaning upon her beloved?

5. Tko je ta što dolazi iz pustinje, naslonjena na dragoga svoga? Probudio sam te pod jabukom gdje te mati rodila, gdje te na svijet dala roditeljka tvoja.

6. Groom to Bride: Under the apple tree, I awakened you. There your mother was corrupted. There she who bore you was violated.

6. Stavi me kao znak na srce, kao peèat na ruku svoju, jer ljubav je jaka kao smrt, a ljubomora tvrda kao grob. Žar je njezin žar vatre i plamena Jahvina.

7. Set me like a seal upon your heart, like a seal upon your arm. For love is strong, like death, and envy is enduring, like hell: their lamps are made of fire and flames.

7. Mnoge vode ne mogu ugasiti ljubav niti je rijeke potopiti. Da netko daje za ljubav sve što u kuæi ima, taj bi navukao prezir na sebe.

8. A multitude of waters cannot extinguish love, nor can a river overwhelm it. If a man were to give all the substance of his house in exchange for love, he would despise it as nothing.

8. Imamo malu sestru koja još nema grudi, što æemo èiniti sa svojom sestrom kad bude rijeè o njoj?

9. Chorus: Our sister is little and has no breasts. What shall we do for our sister on the day when she is called upon?

9. Ako bude poput zida, sagradit æemo na njemu krunište od srebra; ako bude poput vrata, utvrdit æemo ih cedrovim daskama.

10. If she is a wall, let us build a rampart of silver upon it. If she is a door, let us join it together with boards of cedar.

10. Ja sam zid i grudi su moje kule: tako postadoh u oèima njegovim kao ona što naðe smirenje.

11. Bride to Chorus: I am a wall, and my breasts are like towers, since, in his presence, I have become like one who has discovered peace.

11. Salomon ima vinograd u Baal Hamonu, dao ga je èuvarima i svaki mora donijeti za urod tisuæu srebrnjaka.

12. The peaceful one had a vineyard, in that which held the peoples. He handed it on to the caretakers; a man brought, in exchange for its fruit, a thousand pieces of silver.

12. Moj vinograd je preda mnom: tebi, Salomone, tisuæa, a dvjesta onima što èuvaju plodove.

13. Groom: My vineyard is before me. The thousand is for your peacefulness, and two hundred is for those who care for its fruit.

13. O ti, koja boraviš u vrtovima, drugovi slušaju glas tvoj, daj da ga i ja èujem!

14. Bride to Groom: Your friends are attentive to those who have been dwelling in the gardens. Cause me to heed your voice.

14. Pohitaj, mili moj, budi kao srna i kao jelenèe na gorama mirisnim!

15. Flee away, my beloved, and become like the doe and the young stag upon the mountains of aromatic plants.

15.
