words from the Bible: Song of Solomon (Song of Songs)
As the apple tree among the trees of the wood, so is my beloved... (2:3)
He brought me to the banqueting house, and his banner over me was love. (2:4)
Quanto sei bella, mia cara, quanto sei bella, i tuoi occhi sono come colombe. (4:1)
[How beautiful you are, my darling, how beautiful you are, your eyes are like those of a dove.]
...fammi ascoltare tua voce. (2:14)
[...let me hear the sound of your voice.]
