Funiculì, Funiculà

I've been looking for a good manualist video. What follows is one of the best I've seen, and it happenes to feature one of my, and Nobel Prize winner Richard Feynman's, favorite songs, Funiculì, Funiculà.

NOT an Italian folk song, Funiculì, Funiculà was written to commemorate the opening of the first funicular on Mount Vesuvius.

The Flintstones theme is also not an Italian folk song, by the way.

Italian version translated into English (from Wikipedia)!

Do you know where I got on, yesterday evening, baby?
Where this ungrateful heart can't be spiteful to me more!
Where the fire burns, but if you
run away it let you go!
And it doesn't run after you,
doesn't tire you, looking at sky!...
Let go on, let go, let go,
funiculi', funicula'!

We go from the ground to the
mountain, baby! Without walking!
You can see France, Procida and
Spain...
I see you!
Pulled by a rope, no sooner said
than done, we go to the skies..
We go like the wind all of a sudden, go up, go up!
Let go on, let go, let go,
funiculi', funicula'!

The head has already got on,
baby, got on!
It has gone, then returned, then
come...
It is still here!
The head turns, turns, around,
around,
around you!
This heart always sings one of these days Get married to me, baby!
Let go on, let go, let go,
funiculi', funicula'!
