VENI DILECTE MI

VENI DILECTE MI

PALESTRINA

Song of Solomon 7:11 – 12

Veni, dilecte mi, egrediamur in agrum, 

commoremur in villis,

mane surgamus ad vineas, 

videamus si floruit vinea,

si flores fructus parturiunt, 

si floruerunt mala punica:

ibi dabo tibi ubera mea.

English translation 

Song of Solomon Cap 7 vers 11 e 12

Come, my beloved, let us go forth into the fields, 

and lodge in the vilages;

let us go out early to the vineyards, and see whether the vines have budded,

whether the grape blossoms have opened 

and whether the pomegranates are in bloom.

There I will give you my breasts.
