Per me si va ne la città dolente, per me si va ne l’eterno dolore, per me si va tra la perduta gente.

Through me you go into the hurting city, through me you go through eternal pain, through me you go within lost souls

il qual s’aggira sempre in quell’aura sanza tempo tinta

whirling on forever in that air forever black

(said of the screams he hears within the gates. i love the flow of that translation)
