- "Hello, hello, Gient, what news?"
- It's been a long time since I've been home —
- Fifteen days since I've been away,
- Well, how are things going with us?
- — Everything is fine, beautiful Marchioness,
- Things are going on and life is easy.
- Not a single sad surprise
- With the exception of a trifle.
- So, nonsense, an empty case —
- Your mare is dead.
- And for the rest, the beautiful Marchioness,
- It's all right, it's all right!
- - Hello, hello, Marcel, a terrible accident!
- My mare is dead!
- Tell me, my faithful coachman,
- How did this death happen?
- - Everything is fine, beautiful Marchioness,
- Everything is as good as ever!
- Why grieve over a stupid surprise?
- After all, this is really nonsense!
- The mare what? Empty case —
- It burned down with the stables.
- And for the rest, the beautiful Marchioness,
- All is well, all is well!
- - Allo-allo, Pascal, the mind is muddled!
- What an unheard-of blow!
- Tell me the whole truth at once —
- When was there a fire in the stable?
- - All right, beautiful Marchioness,
- And we are doing well!
- But your fate, as you can see, is out of whim
- I gave you another surprise:
- Your house and stable burned down together,
- When the whole estate was on fire!
- And for the rest, the beautiful Marchioness,
- All is well, all is well!
- - Allo-allo, Luka, our castle has burned down!
- Oh, how hard it is for me!
- I'm beside myself.
- Tell me directly how it all happened.
- "Your husband has found out, fair Marchioness,
- That he bankrupted himself and you,
- He could not bear such a surprise
- And he shot himself at the same hour.
- Fallen dead by the stove,
- He knocked over two candles,
- Candles fell on the carpet,
- And it burned like a bonfire,
- The weather was windy —
- Your castle burned to the ground.
- The fire burned down the whole estate,
- And with it, the stable was covered.
- The stable was locked,
- And the mare died in it.
- And for the rest, the beautiful Marchioness,
- It's all right, it's all right!
