about: The "Song of Songs - Shir ha Shirim" are wonderful erotic bible-verses from about 500 BC. South Tyrol composer Leonard Lechner composed a serial of motets with these lyrics at the end of the 16th century
lyrics: Er küsse mich mit dem Kuss seines Mundes,
denn deine Brüste sind lieblicher denn Wein,
dass man dein gute Salbe rieche.
Dein Nam' ist ein ausgeschütte Salben;
darum lieben dich die Mägd.
Zeuch mich dir nach, so laufen wir.
Der König führet mich in seine Kammer.
Wir freuen uns und sind fröhlich über dir,
wir gedenken an deine Brüste mehr denn an den Wein.
Die Frommen lieben dich.

Let him kiss me with the kisses of his mouth:
for thy breasts are better than wine.
Because of the savour of thy good ointments
thy name is as ointment poured forth,
therefore do the virgins love thee.
Draw me, we will run after thee:
the king hath brought me into his chambers:
we will be glad and rejoice in thee,
we will remember thy breasts more than wine:
the upright love thee.
