Lyrics
Trahe me post te
Francisco Guerrero (1528-1599)
Trahe me post te, Virgo Maria: curremus in odorem unguentorumTranslation:
tuorum.
Quam pulchra es et quam decora, carissima in delitiis,
Statura tua assimilata est palmae et ubera tua botris
Dixi: ascendam in palmam et apprehendam fructum eius: et erunt
ubera tua sicut botri vineae, et odor oris tui sicut odor malorum.
Draw me after you, Virgin Mary: we will run after thee to the odour of
thy ointments.
How beautiful art thou, and how comely, my dearest, in delights!
Thy stature is like to a palm tree, and thy breasts to clusters of
grapes.
I said: I will go up into the palm tree, and will take hold of the fruit
thereof: and thy breasts shall be as the clusters of the vine: and the
odour of thy mouth like apples.
