Original text and translations

Italian.png Italian text

Quivi sospiri pianti ed alti guai,
  risonavan per l'aer senza stelle,
  perche io al cominciar ne lagrimai,
Diverse lingue horribili favelle,
  Parole di dolore accenti d'ira,
  Voci alte e fioche 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
