Aieressera, oì nè, me ne sagliette, tu saie addò?
Addò 'stu core 'ngrato cchiù
dispietto farme nun pò!
Addò lo fuoco coce, ma si fuie
te lassa sta
e nun te corre appriesso,
nun te struie, 'ncielo a guardà!

Jammo  jammo 'ncoppa, jammo jà!
Funiculì, funiculà! 
Jammo jammo jammo jà, etc.

Nè... jammo da la terra a la montagna!
no passo nc'è!
Se vede Francia, Proceta e la Spagna...
Io veco a tte!
Tirato co la fune, ditto 'nfatto,
'ncielo se va..
Se va comm' 'à lu viento a l'intrasatto, guè,
saglie sà!

Jammo  jammo etc.

Se n' 'è sagliuta, oì nè,
se n' 'è sagliuta la capa già!
È gghiuta, pò è turnata, pò è venuta..
sta sempe ccà!
La capa vota, vota, attuorno, attuorno,
attuorno a tte!
Sto core canta sempe
nu taluorno
sposammo, oì nè!

Jammo jammo etc.
