Country men; I have good news and bad news.
What is the good news ?

This is not an exact translation, but it sounds better to me.
I am beggining to think that trsaslation is an art, that is unless one is translating scientific or legal papers, but how about translating the news?

? Ciudadanos, les tengo = Citizens, I have ...
That sounds pretty good. We would probably say, though: "I have good news and bad news."
Also: Our debts have been settled.
