| Elberfelder 1905 (German) (ELB) | New International Version (NIV) |
| 2 Ich schlief, aber mein Herz wachte. Horch! Mein Geliebter! Er klopft: Tue mir auf, meine Schwester, meine Freundin, meine Taube, meine Vollkommene! Denn mein Haupt ist voll Tau, meine Locken voll Tropfen der Nacht. - | 2 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." |
