Text taken from Dante's "Inferno".
[ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsmode.com/lyrics/a/ancient/at_the_infernal_portal_canto_iii.html ]
Per me si va ne la citta dolente,
Per me si va ne l'etterno dolore,
Per me si va tra la perduta gente.
Giustizia mosse il mio alto fattore;
Fecemi la divina podestate
La somma sapienza e 'l primo amore.
Dinanzi a me non fuor cose create
Se non etterne, e io etterno duro.
Lasciate ogne speranza, voi ch'intrate.

English translate:

Through me you enter the woeful city,
Through me you enter eternal grief,
Through me you enter among the lost.
Justice moved my high maker:
The divine power made me,
The supreme wisdom, and the primal love.
Before me nothing was created
If not eternal, and eternal i endure.
Abadon every hope, you who enter.
