GUEST,Sue Common Italian Folk Song help (Funiculi/la) (38) RE: Lyr Req: Common Italian Folk Song help 09 Feb 04


Can anyone translate the following version of Funiculi, funicula

Ai sera Nannine me ne sagliette
Tu saie addo........tu saie addo!
Addo stu core 'ngrata cchiu dispiette
farme nun po'.........farme nun po'!
Addo il fuoco coce ma si fuie
te lassa sta........te lassa sta!
E nun te corre appresso nun te struie
Solo a guards......'ncielo se va!

Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa jamme ia!
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa jamme ia!
Funiculi, funicula, funiculi, funicula,
'ncioppa jamme ja! Funiculi, funicula

Se n'e sagliuto Ne, se n'e sagliuto
la capa gia.......la capa gia!
E ghiuta po' tornata po' e venuta
sta sempe cca.......solo a guarda
La capa vota, vota, attorno, attorno
attorno a te....attorno a te!
La core canta sempre nota luorno,
Sposammoi Ne......sposammoi Ne!

None of the translations I can find seem to match these words but my Italian is not good enough to translate it properly myself!
Thanks all!..Sue
