Funiculi, Funicula...!

[kimmyzilla]

Here are the English lyrics to "Funiculi, Funicula" by the Italian composer Luigi Denza.  I have always loved the song, but never realized just how much this song rocks.  You listen to this song, sing along with it, then read what it's saying, and you're ready to take on the world.  I absolutely love it.

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!
Funiculi funicula`, funiculi funicula`,
Echoes sound afar! funiculi, funicula`.
