Tout va très bien, Madame la Marquise

Hello, hello James!
What's new?
Absent for fifteen days,
At the end of the line
I'm calling you;
What will I find upon my return?

Everything is going very well, Madam Marquise,
Everything is going very well, everything is going very well.
However, we must, we must tell you,
We regret a very small thing:
An incident, a foolishness,
The death of your gray mare,
But, apart from that, Madam Marquise
Everything is going very well, everything is going very well.

Hello, hello James!
What's new?
My gray mare died today!
Explain to me,
Faithful valet,
How did this happen?

It's nothing, Madam Marquise,
It's nothing, everything is going very well.
However, we must, we must tell you,
We regret a very small thing:
She perished
In the fire
That destroyed your stables.
But, apart from that, Madam Marquise
Everything is going very well, everything is going very well.

Hello, hello James!
What's new?
So my stables have burned down?
Explain to me,
Model valet,
How did this happen?

It's nothing, Madam Marquise,
It's nothing, everything is going very well.
However, we must, we must tell you,
We regret a very small thing:
If the stable burned, Madam,
It's because the castle was in flames.
But, apart from that, Madam Marquise
Everything is going very well, everything is going very well.

Hello, hello James!
What's new?
Our castle is destroyed?
Explain to me
As I stagger
How did this happen?

Well! Here it is, Madam Marquise,
Learning that it was ruined,
Scarcely had he recovered from his surprise
That Mr. Marquis committed suicide,
And it was while picking up the shovel
That he knocked over all the candles,
Setting fire to the entire castle
Which burned from bottom to top;
The wind blowing on the fire
Spread it to the stable,
And that's how in a moment
We saw your mare perish!
But, apart from that, Madam Marquise,
Everything is going very well, everything is going very well.
