Subject: Funiculi Funicula. From: Joe Offer Date: 18 May 99 - 08:07 PM Just a slight correction, Jon. As this library's Webster's New World says, a funicular or funicular railway is a mountain railway on which counterbalanced cars on parallel sets of rails are pulled up and lowered by cables. The definition doesn't quite fit my experience - the funicular railways I've ridden have parallel rails only at the point where the two cars would meet. There's a single rail for most of the distance. If you sit in the front of the car, it looks like the other car is going to run right into you, but then it turns away at the last moment and misses you by inches. In my book, it's more fun than a roller coaster. I ride 'em wherever I find 'em. The most memorable ones I've ridden are the newly restored Angel's Flight in downtown Los Angeles, the two across the river from downtown Pittsburgh, and the one that goes to the castle in Salzburg, Austria. Mega-cool. -Joe Offer, rail fan- ...but the song doesn't seem to have much to do with railroads, does it? This site has Italian and German lyrics: https://ingeb.org/Lieder/dasmeerd.html

Subject: RE: I am looking for workds to Finiculi Funicula. From: Susan of DT Date: 15 May 99 - 04:59 PM It is in the database. I searched for [fun and frolic] in the big blue search box in the upper right to avoid the how to spell funiculi problem. |

Subject: Lyr Add: FUNICULI FUNICULA (English lyrics)^^^ From: campfire Date: 14 May 99 - 10:47 PM Hello, whomever!
FUNICULI FUNICULA
Written to commemorate the opening of a funicular railroad to the top of Mount Vesuvius.

These lyrics are the same as those found in the Fireside Fook of Folk Songs (Simon & Schuster, 1947, pp 43-47), except that the chorus is slightly different:
Hearken! Hearken! Music sounds afar! Hearken! Hearken! Music sounds afar! Tralalala Tralalala Tralalala Tralalala Joy is everywhere — Tralalala Tralalala! |
