Quivi sospiri, pianti e alti guai | 22 | Now sighs, loud wailing, lamentation | |||||

risonavan per l'aere sanza stelle, | 23 | resounded through the starless air, | |||||
|
|
|
|
 |
|
|
per ch'io al cominciar ne lagrimai. | 24 | so that I too began to weep. | |||||

Diverse lingue, orribili favelle, | 25 | Unfamiliar tongues, horrendous accents, | |||||
|
|
|
|
|
|
|
parole di dolore, accenti d'ira, | 26 | words of suffering, cries of rage, voices | |||||

sempre in quell' aura sanza tempo tinta, | 29 | in that black and timeless air, | |||||

|
come la rena quando turbo spira. | 30 | as sand is swirled in a whirlwind. | |||||
