E nun te corre appriesso, nun te struie

Se vede Francia, Proceta e la Spagna…
Io veco a tte!
Tirato co la fune, diritto 'nfatto,
'ncielo se va.
Se va comm' 'à lu viento a l'intrasatto, guè, saglie sà!
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà,

È gghiuta, pò è turnata, pò è venuta,

La capa vota, vota, attuorno, attuorno,
attuorno a tte!
Sto core canta sempe

Sposamme, oì Nè!
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà,

Stasera, Nina mia, io son montato
Te lo dirò?
Colà dove dispetti un cor ingrato
Più far non può.
Cola cocente è il foco, ma se fuggi
Ti lascia star
E non ti corre appresso, e non ti struggi
A riguardar

Lesti, lesti, via, montiam su la,
Lesti, lesti, via, montiam su là,
Funiculì funiculà, funiculì funiculà,
via montiam su là, funiculì funiculà.

by Edward Oxenford, a new translation adapted to the music

Some think the world is made for fun and frolic,
And so do I!
Some think it well to be all melancholic,
To pine and sigh;
But I, I love to spend my time in singing,
Some joyous song,
To set the air with music bravely ringing
Is far from wrong!

Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar!
Listen! Listen! Echoes sound afar!
Tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la, tra la la la!
Echoes sound afar! Tra la la la, tra la la la.
