Funiculi Funicula
Aissera, nannine, me ne sagliete
Tu saie addo
Addo sto core ngrato chiu dispiete
farme non po
Addo llo fuoco coce ma si fuje
te lassa sta
E non te corre appriesso non te struje
sulo a guarda
jammo jammo ncoppa jammo ja
jammo jammo ncoppa jammo ja
funiculi funicula
ncoppa jammo ja funiculi funicula
Ne.. jammo: da la terra a la montagna
no passo nc’e;
Se vede Francia, Proceta, LaSpagna
E io veco a te.
Tirate co lli fune nnitto, nfatto
Ncielo se va
se va comm’a llo viento, a l’antrasatto,
gue, saglie, sa
yesterday evening. my love, I went up
do you know where?
where this ungrateful heart cannot spite
me anymore.
where the fire burns, but if you flee
it let’s you be
and it doesn’t chase you, it doesn’t burn you
to see the sky
let’s go up to the top, let’s go
funicular up! funicular down!
let’s go from the earth to the mountaintop
without walking
We can see France, Procida and Spain
and I can see you.
pulled by a rope, no sooner said than done
we’ll go to heaven
it goes like the wind suddenly,
up up up…
