    Story Behind the Song
    Robert's grandmother was a Caruso and relative of the famous opera singer, Enrico Caruso. This motivated Robert to learn and arrange Neapolitan songs and a CD finally came to fruition with Marsha Sims, a long-time friend and classically trained singer. Even though Robert lives in Amsterdam and Marsha lives in the San Francisco area, a CD project was completed in Marsha's studio during Robert's trips to Calif. .

    Lyrics
    Funiculì, funiculà!
    versi: Peppino Turco
    musica: Luigi Denza
    anno 1880

    I

    Aieressera, oi' ne', me ne sagliette,
    tu saie addo'?
    Addo' 'stu core 'ngrato cchiu' dispietto
    farme nun po'!
    Addo' lo fuoco coce, ma si fuie
    te lassa sta!
    E nun te corre appriesso, nun te struie,
    'ncielo a guarda'!...
    Jammo 'ncoppa, jammo ja',
    funiculi', funicula'!

    II

    Ne'... jammo da la terra a la montagna!
    no passo nc'e'!
    Se vede Francia, Proceta e la Spagna...
    Io veco a tte!
    Tirato co la fune, ditto 'nfatto,
    'ncielo se va..
    Se va comm' 'a lu viento a l'intrasatto,
    gue', saglie sa'!
    Jammo 'ncoppa, jammo ja',
    funiculi', funicula'!

    III

    Se n' 'e' sagliuta, oi' ne', se n' 'e' sagliuta
    la capa già!
    E' gghiuta, po' e' turnata, po' e' venuta...
    sta sempe cca'!
    La capa vota, vota, attuorno, attuorno,
    attuorno a tte!
    Sto core canta sempe nu taluorno
    Sposammo, oi' ne'!
    Jammo 'ncoppa, jammo ja',
    funiculi', funicula'!
