Lassus: Tota pulchra es - Alarcón

Orlandus Lassus: Tota pulchra es
Choeur de chambre de Namur
Leonardo García Alarcón
Score: www.cpdl.org
Tota pulchra es, amica mea, et macula non est in te.
Favus distillans labia tua; mel et lac sub lingua tua;
odor unguentorum tuorum super omnia aromata.
Jam enim hiems transiit, imber abiit et recessit,
flores apparuerunt;
vineae florentes odorem dederunt,
et vox turturis audita est in terra nostra.
Surge, propera, amica mea:
veni de Libano, veni, coronaberis.
=== ENGLISH ===
You are altogether beautiful, my love; there is no flaw in you.
Your lips distill nectar; honey and milk are under your tongue;
the scent of your perfumes is beyond all spices.
For now the winter is past, the rain is over and gone.
the flowers have appeared;
the flowering vines have given forth their fragrance,
and the voice of the turtle-dove is heard in our land.
Arise, my love, my fair one;
come from Lebanon, come, you will be crowned.
=== MAGYAR ===
Egészen szép vagy, én barátném! és szeplő nincs tebenned.
Lépesméz csöpög ajkaidról, méz és tej van nyelved alatt;
és ruháid illata, jobb, minden illatszernél.
Mert már a tél elmúlt, a záporeső elvonult és eltávozott;
a virágok jelentkeznek,
a virágzó szőlők kiárasztják illatukat, a gerlice szava hallatszott földünkön.
Kelj föl, én barátném, én szépem,
jöjj le a Libanonról, jöjj le, megkoronáztatol!

This is just exquisite, but only has a handful of views and even fewer likes, what a shame!

I sang choir for fourteen years and believe that the Song of Songs provides more source material for church music than any other biblical source.

This may be true for Marian motets, but I think the most used biblical book is the Book of Psalms.
