Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Quivi sospir con pianti et alti guai,
 risonavan per l'aer senza stelle,
 perciò ch'al cominzar ne lagrimai,
Diverse lingue horribili favelle,
 parole di dolor accenti d'ira,
 voci alt'e fiocche e suon di man con elle.

English.png English translation

There sighs, complaints, and ululations loud
 resounded through the air without a star,
 whence I, at the beginning, wept thereat.
Languages diverse, horrible dialects,
 accents of anger, words of agony,
 and voices high and hoarse, with sound of hands.
Translation by Henry Wadsworth Longfellow
