Translation:
I climbed up high this evening, oh, Nanetta,
Do you know where?
Where your ungrateful heart no longer pains me
With teasing wiles!
Where fire burns, but if you run away,
It lets you be,
It doesn't follow after nor torment you
Just with a look.
Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!
Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà!
To the top we'll go, funiculì, funiculà!
We are rushing with you.
There is only one step from the Earth to the mountain, just one step
And you see France, Procida and Spain
And I see you only you.
Hold belts tighter,
We are taking away to the heaven, we are taking away to the heaven.
We are taking away like with the wind and now
We have climbed to the top, we have climbed,
We have climbed!
We are rushing, we are rushing up
On the funicular, on the funicular.
We are rushing up On the funicular.
We are rushing, we are rushing up
On the funicular, on the funicular.
We are rushing up On the funicular.
