Through me you pass into the city of woe

Through me you pass into eternal pain

Through me among the people last for age

Before me things create were none save

things eternal, and eternal I endure

All hope abandon ye who enter here!

Перевод:
За мной мир слёз, страданья и мучений,
За мною скорбь без грани, без конца,
За мной мир падших душ и приведений,
Я правосудие высшего Творца!
