Italian text
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.
English translation
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.
