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

This should be a disclaimer every time you connect to the internet lol

I mean I could twist it into meaning something if I start making some big assumptions, but I really don't understand what it means at all.

It's the text on the gate to hell in Dante's Divine Comedy

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)
