FUNICULI FUNICULA

Stasera, nina mia, viam sul' monte
Un passo c'e. Un passo c'e.
Si vede Francia, Portceddu, la Spagna,
Io veggo a te. Io veggo a te.
La testa gira gira intorno intorno
Intorno a te. Intorno a te.
E il cuore canta come il primo giorno.
Ti sposa a me. Ti sposa a me.

Chorus:
Lesti, lesti via'l monton' su la
Lesti, lesti via'l monton' su la
Funiculi, funicula funiculi funicula
Via'l monton su la, funiculi funicula.

English translation:
This evening, little girl, we climb the mountain
The view to see. The view to see.
One looks on France and Portugal and Spain,
It's you I see, it's you I see.
The head is dizzy whirling 'round and 'round
With thoughts of thee, with thoughts of thee.
And the heart, it sings with Eden's sound
You'll marry me. You'll marry me.

Joyful, joyful up on the mountain high
Joyful, joyful up on the mountain high
Funicula, funiculi, funicula funiculi
Up on the mountain high funicula funiculi.

Note: A "funiculare" was a train equipped with a gear which engaged a
toothed track for climbing steep mountainsides.
