Dell’ antro magico
Stridenti cardini
Il varco apritemi
E fra le tenebri
Del negro ospizio
Lasciatemi.
Sull’ arca orribile
Del lago stigio
I fuochi splendino
E sù ne mandino
Fumi che turbino
La luce al di.

From the magic cave,
squealing hinges,
you open the way for me
and let me pass into the darkness
of the black domain.
In the terrifying arc
of the Stygian waters
the fires gleam
and send up smoke
which clouds the light of day.
