Still waiting for Gogol Bordello's version of this song:
Hello, hello, James, what news?
I’ve been away fifteen days,
At the end of the wire I call you,
What will I find on my return?
All is very well well, Madame Marquisa,
All is very well, all is very well,
However, though, I need to say one thing,
Just a mere trifle, almost nothing,
An incident, a silly thing,
Your grey Mare is dead,
But besides that, Madame Marquisa,
Everything is fine, just fine!
Hello, hello, Marten, what news?
My grey Mare died today!
Tell me, my faithful coachman,
How is it that this did occur?
This is nothing, Madam Marquisa,
This is nothing, everything’s just fine,
However, though, I need to say one thing,
Just a mere trifle, almost nothing,
She perished in the fire
That destroyed your stables,
But besides that, Madam Marquisa,
Everything is fine, just fine!
Hello, hello, Pasqual, what news?
My stables have they all burned down?
Explain to me, my model boss,
How is it that this did occur?
This is nothing, Madam Marquisa,
This is nothing, everything’s just fine,
However, though, I need to say one thing,
Just a mere trifle, almost nothing,
If the stable burned, Madam,
It’s because the castle was in flames,
But besides that, Madam Marquisa,
Everything is fine, just fine!
Hello, hello, Luca, what news?
Our castle is thus destroyed?
Explain to me, because I’m staggered,
How is it that this did occur?
Well it’s like this, Madam Marquisa,
Learning that he was bankrupt,
Not recovering from such surprise
The Marquis by gun did suicide,
Falling dead by the mantlepiece,
He knocked over all the candlesticks,
Putting fire to all the castle,
And it blazed from base to top,
The wind it blowed the fire,
Which jumped upon the stable,
And thus after that moment
The horse did die inside!
But besides that, Madam Marquisa,
Everything is fine, just fine!
