Last night, my Nina, I went up, do you know where?
Where my ungrateful heart cannot spite me any more!
Where the fire burns, but if you flee it will not run after you,
nor consume you to look upon it.
Let's go up to the top, let's go ride the funicular!
My head is spinning Nina, It's gone up there already!
It went there, spun 'round, and then returned.
My head is spinning, spinning, encircling you!
My heart is always singing the same refrain:
"Marry me, O Nannina"!
Let's go up to the top, let's go ride the funicular!

This song was originally written to promote the funicular (cable railway) that
was completed in 1880 on the side of Mount Vesuvius to bring tourists to the top
of the active volcano. The funicular was destroyed in 1944 by volcanic activity.
