Cantares 8:3 In-Context

1 ¡OH quién te me diese como hermano Que mamó los pechos de mi madre; De modo que te halle yo fuera, y te bese, Y no me menosprecien!
2 Yo te llevaría, te metiera en casa de mi madre: Tú me enseñarías, Y yo te hiciera beber vino Adobado del mosto de mis granadas.
3 Su izquierda esté debajo de mi cabeza, Y su derecha me abrace.
4 Conjúroos, oh doncellas de Jerusalem, Que no despertéis, ni hagáis velar al amor, Hasta que quiera.
5 ¿Quién es ésta que sube del desierto, Recostada sobre su amado? Debajo de un manzano te desperté: Allí tuvo tu madre dolores, Allí tuvo dolores la que te parió.
