A partial translation:

What is she saying?

Crying, do you want a pacifier?

My dove in the clefts of the rock, hiding in the stairs, let me see your countenance, let me hear your voice: for your voice is pleasant, and your countenance is comely

A young bird (a baby), eyes

The girl is beautiful

God save this girl, a beautiful and sweet girl
