The Torment of Separation
“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, friends;
Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
“I have come into my garden, my sister, my bride;
I have gathered my myrrh along with my balsam.
I have eaten my honeycomb and my honey;
I have drunk my wine and my milk.
Eat, friends;
Drink and imbibe deeply, O lovers.”
Ich bin gekommen, meine Schwester, liebe Braut, in meinen Garten. Ich habe meine Myrrhe samt meinen Würzen abgebrochen; ich habe meinen Seim samt meinem Honig gegessen; ich habe meinen Wein samt meiner Milch getrunken. Esset, meine Lieben, und trinkt, meine Freunde, und werdet trunken!
“I was asleep but my heart was awake.
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling,
My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is drenched with dew,
My locks with the damp of the night.’
A voice! My beloved was knocking:
‘Open to me, my sister, my darling,
My dove, my perfect one!
For my head is drenched with dew,
My locks with the damp of the night.’
Ich schlafe, aber mein Herz wacht. Da ist die Stimme meines Freundes, der anklopft: Tue mir auf, liebe Freundin, meine Schwester, meine Taube, meine Fromme! denn mein Haupt ist voll Tau und meine Locken voll Nachttropfen.
“I have taken off my dress,
How can I put it on again?
I have washed my feet,
How can I dirty them again?
How can I put it on again?
I have washed my feet,
How can I dirty them again?
Ich habe meinen Rock ausgezogen, wie soll ich ihn wieder anziehen? Ich habe meine Füße gewaschen, wie soll ich sie wieder besudeln?
“My beloved extended his hand through the opening,
And my feelings were aroused for him.
And my feelings were aroused for him.

“I arose to open to my beloved;
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the bolt.
And my hands dripped with myrrh,
And my fingers with liquid myrrh,
On the handles of the bolt.
Da stand ich auf, daß ich meinem Freund auftäte; meine Hände troffen von Myrrhe und meine Finger von fließender Myrrhe an dem Riegel am Schloß.
“I opened to my beloved,
But my beloved had turned away and had gone!
My heart went out to him as he spoke.
I searched for him but I did not find him;
I called him but he did not answer me.
But my beloved had turned away and had gone!
My heart went out to him as he spoke.
I searched for him but I did not find him;
I called him but he did not answer me.
Und da ich meinem Freund aufgetan hatte, war er weg und hingegangen. Meine Seele war außer sich, als er redete. Ich suchte ihn, aber ich fand ihn nicht; ich rief, aber er antwortete mir nicht.
“The watchmen who make the rounds in the city found me,
They struck me and wounded me;
The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.

The guardsmen of the walls took away my shawl from me.
Es fanden mich die Hüter, die in der Stadt umgehen; die schlugen mich wund; die Hüter auf der Mauer nahmen mir meinen Schleier.
“I adjure you, O daughters of Jerusalem,
If you find my beloved,
As to what you will tell him:
For I am lovesick.”
If you find my beloved,
As to what you will tell him:
For I am lovesick.”
Ich beschwöre euch, ihr Töchter Jerusalems, findet ihr meinen Freund, so sagt ihm, daß ich vor Liebe krank liege.
“What kind of beloved is your beloved,
O most beautiful among women?
What kind of beloved is your beloved,
That thus you adjure us?”
O most beautiful among women?
What kind of beloved is your beloved,
That thus you adjure us?”
Was ist dein Freund vor andern Freunden, o du schönste unter den Weibern? Was ist dein Freund vor andern Freunden, daß du uns so beschworen hast?
