Excellent! I remember the French song.

Tout va très bien, Madame la Marquise
Tout va très bien, tout va très bien
Pourtant il faut, il faut que l'on vous dise
On déplore un tout petit rien
Un incident, une bêtise
La mort de votre jument grise
Mais à part ça Madame la Marquise
Tout va très bien tout va très bien

All is well, beautiful Marquis
Things are going and life is easy,
Not one sad surprise,
Except for a trifle:
