The song was translated by the Soviet poet Alexander Bezymensky (according to other sources - Anatoly Frenkel). The song entered the repertoire of the famous pop artist Leonid Utyosov, who performed it in a duet with his daughter - Edith - and accompanied by his jazz orchestra. In his memoirs, Utyosov wrote that during the preparation of the concert program “Songs of my Motherland”, he received a letter from Bezymensky, in which he offered a translation of the French song he liked. Despite the fact that the song fell out of the general program, Utyosov included it in his repertoire.

Plot

For the first time this plot is found at the beginning of the XII century. Around 1115, the Spanish Jew Pedro Alfonso (Lat. Petrus Alfonsus), theologian, astronomer, translator, prepared a collection of entertaining stories in Latin "The Cleric's Book of Education"(lat. Disciplina Clericalis). The compiler took plots for the book from oriental literature - Arabic, Persian, Indian. The collection circulated widely throughout medieval Europe, including translations into French, Spanish, English, and German. The 27th chapter of this book tells the story of the black servant Maimund:

“The owner was returning from the market, very pleased with the good earnings, and saw that Maimund was coming towards him. Fearing that he, as usual, wants to report bad news, the owner warned:
- Be careful, Maimund, do not come to me with bad news!
The servant replied:
“There is no bad news, Your Grace, except for the death of our dog Bispella.
- Why did she die?
- Our mule was frightened, broke off the leash, ran and trampled the poor thing with his hooves.
- What happened to the mule?
- Fell into a well and died.
- What was he afraid of?
- Your son fell off the balcony and crashed to death. This frightened the mule.
- And my wife? What with her?
- She died of grief, losing her son.
- Who looks after the house?
- No one, because now it is a pile of ashes - and the house and everything that was in it.
- Why did the fire happen?
- On the very night your wife died, the maid forgot to put out the memorial candle, and the fire engulfed the whole house.
- Where is the maid?
- She began to put out the fire, the beam fell on her head and killed her.

The popular expression "Everything is fine, beautiful marquise" is known to many. However, not everyone knows about its origin.

In order to most appropriately use one or another and, an educated person must know not only their meaning, but also their origin.

The origin of the expression "All is well, fair marquise"

“Everything is fine, beautiful marquise” is a French song translated into Russian “Everything is fine, madam marquise” (French “Tout va très bien, Madame la Marquise”, 1935).

The song was included in the repertoire of the famous pop artist Leonid Utyosov, who performed it accompanied by a jazz orchestra in a duet with his daughter, Edith.

What does "All is well, beautiful marquise" mean?

The meaning of this catchphrase comes down to clumsy attempts to hide the real state of affairs. For example, they ask you how you are doing. By answering “everything is fine, beautiful marquise,” you show irony, implying that everything is really bad.

A similar ironic answer to the question "How are you" - "Like soot is white." That is, it means not at all what is pronounced, but just the opposite. Now check out the original.

What was good at the Marquise

According to the plot of the song, the Marchioness, who is away, calls her estate to find out how things are going there. She is told that in general everything is fine, except for a small nuisance, a “trifle” - a dead horse.

However, in the course of communication with other servants, the Marquis finds out that the cause of the death of the horse was a fire in the stable, which in turn was caused by the fact that the entire estate caught fire.

And it all started with the fact that the husband of the Marquise, having learned about his bankruptcy, decided to shoot himself. When he shot himself, then falling to the floor, he accidentally knocked over a candle. A fire broke out that destroyed the entire estate, the stable, and the notorious horse.

The song ends with the words: "And the rest, beautiful marquise, everything is fine, everything is fine!".

How about in the original?

For the first time, a story with this plot is found back in the 12th century, when the Spanish doctor, astronomer and thinker Pedro Alfonso wrote a book in 1115 with entertaining stories from life.

It was written in Latin and was called the Cleric's Book of Instruction.

So that's where the story of the black servant Maimund is told.

The owner, returning from the market, was in a great mood, as he managed to get a good income. On the way he met his servant Maimund. Fearing that he, as usual, would want to report bad news, the owner warned:
“Be careful, Maimund, do not come to me with bad news!”
The servant replied:
“There is no bad news, Your Grace, except for the death of our dog Bispella.
- Why did she die?
“Our mule was frightened, broke off the leash, ran and trampled the poor thing with his hooves.
“What happened to the mule?”
- He fell into a well and died.
- What was he afraid of?
“Your son fell off the balcony and fell to his death. This frightened the mule.
- And my wife? What with her?
- She died of grief, losing her son.
Who is looking after the house?
- Nobody, because now, after the fire, it is a pile of ashes - and the house, and everything that was in it.
- Why did the fire happen?
“The very night your wife passed away, the maid forgot to put out the memorial candle, and the fire destroyed the whole house.
- Where is the maid?
- She began to put out the fire, the beam fell on her head and killed her.
