Songtexte

While I slept my heart was awake, keeping vigil
I heard my beloved he's knocking and saying,
"Please open to me, my beloved, my fair one,
for my head is wet with the dampness of night.
I have taken off my robe,
am I then to put it on?
I have bathed my feet,
must I then soil them again?
My lover thrust his hand through the hole of the door,
my heart pounded, I trembled,
and I grew faint when he spoke.
I was thrilled he was near.
I rose up to open
to let my beloved come in
and my hands dripped with myrrh,
and my fingers were dripping of wetness
as I grasped the handle, the bolt of the lock
it too, dripped of from the myrrh.
I opened to my love
but he had already departed and gone
so I sought him but I could not find him
I called him, but he gave no answer to me. Song of Songs 5:2-6
