[BRIDE] “I was asleep, but my heart was awake. A voice! My beloved was knocking: ‘Open to me, my sister, by darling, my dove, my perfect one! For my head is drenched with dew, my locks with the damp of the night.’ |

[Beloved:] I slept but my heart was awake. Listen! My lover is knocking: “Open to me, my sister, my darling, my dove, my flawless one. My head is drenched with dew, my hair with the dampness of the night.” |
I went to sleep, but my heart stayed awake. [I dreamed that I heard] the voice of my believed as he knocked [at the door of my mother’s cottage]. Open to me, my sister, my love, my dove, my spotless one [he said], for I am wet with the [heavy] night dew; my hair is covered with it. |
