Lyrics:

Aissera, oje Nanniné, me ne sagliette (I climbed up high this evening, oh, Nanetta)
Tu saje addó, tu saje addó (Do you know where? Do you know where?)
Addó 'stu core 'ngrato cchiù dispietto (Where this ungrateful heart)
Farme nun pò! Farme nun pò! (No longer pains me! No longer pains me!)
Addó lu fuoco coce, ma se fuje (Where fire burns, but if you run away)
Te lassa sta! Te lassa sta! (It lets you be! It lets you be!)
E nun te corre appriesso, nun te struje (It doesn't follow after or torment you)
Sulo a guardà, sulo a guardà (Just with a look, just with a look)

Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà (Funicular up, funicular down, funicular up, funicular down!)
'Ncoppa, jamme jà, funiculì, funiculà! (To the top we'll go, funicular up, funicular down!)

Né, jamme da la terra a la montagna! (Let's go from here below up to the mountain)
Nu passo nc'è! Nu passo nc'è! (A step away! A step away!)
Se vede Francia, Proceta e la Spagna (You can see France, Procida, and Spain)
Io veco a tte! Io veco a tte! (And I see you! And I see you!)
Tirato co la fune, ditto 'nfatto (You rise, pulled by a cable, quick as a wink)
'Ncielo se va, 'ncielo se va (Into the sky! Into the sky!)
Se va comm' 'a lu viento a l'intrasatto (We'll rise up like a whirlwind all of a sudden)
Guè, saglie, sà! Guè, saglie, sà! (Knows how to do! Knows how to do!)

Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà (Funicular up, funicular down, funicular up, funicular down!)
'Ncoppa, jamme jà, funiculì, funiculà! (To the top we'll go, funicular up, funicular down!)

Se n'è sagliuta, oje né, se n'è sagliuta (The car has climbed up high, see, climbed up high now)
La capa già! La capa già! (Right to the top! Right to the top!)
È gghiuta, po' è turnata, po' è venuta (It went, and turned around, and came back down)
Sta sempe ccà! Sta sempe ccà! (And now it's stopped! And now it's stopped!)
La capa vota, vota, attuorno, attuorno ( The top is turning round, and round, and round)
Attuorno a tte! Attuorno a tte! (Around yourself! Around yourself!)
Stu core canta sempe nu taluorno (My heart is singing the same refrain)
Sposamme, oje né! Sposamme, oje né! (We should be wed! We should be wed!)

Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Jamme, jamme 'ncoppa, jamme jà (Let's go, let's go! To the top we'll go!)
Funiculì, funiculà, funiculì, funiculà (Funicular up, funicular down, funicular up, funicular down!)
'Ncoppa, jamme jà, funiculì, funiculà! (To the top we'll go, funicular up, funicular down!)
