Thread Name: Common Italian Folk Song help (Funiculi/la)
Subject: RE: Common Italian Folk Song help (Funiculi/la)
hi everyone! we're singing this song for a concert and i'm trying to reconcile the translation from the Neapolitan with the translation from the Italian version.

actually, the chorus of the Italian version goes, "Lesti, lesti, via, montiam su la'"

how does that change the meaning of the phrase then? and what does "montiam" mean? none of the online translation sites seem to know. haha

thanks in advance! Ü
