This is my translation of the Orphic Hymn to Hekate, which I sing here. Here is the English translation:

Orphic Hymn to Hekate

I call Hekáte of the roadside,
lovely god where three roads meet.

In sky, on earth and in the ocean,
yellow gown upon her form.

At tombs she celebrates the Bacchic
rites with souls of those long dead.

Daughter of the Titan Persēs,
fond of solitude and deer.

By night, protectress of the dogs,
she is a most enchanting queen.

Barking dogs announce her passing.
She's unbound and fair of face.

On her head the bull-horn headdress,
lady, priestess of the world.

Ruler, damsel and our nurse maid,
wandering the mountain sides.

With her worshippers she's present,
maiden at the holy rites.

Always gracious when one worships
with a god-like bull-horned zeal!

Refrain: I call Hekáte of the roadside,
lovely god where three roads meet

Here's half of the Orphic Hymn:
Orphic Hymn to Hekate

I call Hekate of the roadside, lovely god where three roads meet.

In sky, on earth and in the ocean, yellow gown upon her form.

At tombs she celebrates the Bacchic rites with souls of those long dead.
