"
Her er det russisk rullett kvar fredag
Og p sndag skal det vr konfirmasjon
Fru Conradas har gitt klar beskjed, p sndag kl. 12
Vil hu ikkje sj en drpe blod
Men Marcello er fine nr han drikker
For det er hans vin, det er hans damer og hans dans
Han er en sjarmr, og hans like fins ikkje
Alt og alle I den kjelleren er hans
Halleluja
"Here, people play Russian roulette each Friday,
And this Sunday it will host a confirmation.
Mrs. Conradas has given a clear message; this Sunday at twelve o'clock
She doesn't want to see a single drop of blood.
But Marcello is a fine man when he's drinking,
It's his wine, his ladies and his dance
He's a charming man and there is no one like him
Everything and everyone in that basement belongs to him.
Halleluja! (repeated)"
Now we are given the information that the basement hosts russian roulette parties, and that Christian confirmation parties are also held down there, which is ironic, as the two are almost opposites of each-other. A lady, known only as Mrs. Conradas, has told Marcello that there must be no blood in the basement when the confirmation begins. In the last part of this verse we are told about Marcello; he is a fine man, he's charming and he owns everyone and everything in the basement, and hints that he is probably a gangster.
