	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'!
