Cantares 5

Ich stand auf, um zu öffnen, / die Hand an den Griffen des Riegels. / Da troffen meine Hände von Myrrhe, / von flüssiger Myrrhe meine Finger. /

Yo me levanté para abrir á mi amado, y mis manos gotearon mirra, y mis dedos mirra que corría sobre las aldabas del candado.

I rose up to open to my beloved; and my hands dropped with myrrh, and my fingers with sweet smelling myrrh, upon the handles of the lock.

I rose up to open for my beloved. My hands dripped with myrrh, my fingers with liquid myrrh, on the handles of the lock.
