Sois belle et tais-toi [English translation]

The pigeon coos

The sparrow twits

The hen cackles

The magpie chatters

The camel grunts

And the owl hoots

The panther growls

And the crane crackles

You, you, you,

You

Be beautiful and be silent

The elephant trumpets

The mare neighs

The nightjar yowls

The sheep bleats

The toad croaks

The hatchling peeps

The crow caws

The jay clucks

You, you, you,

You

Be beautiful and be silent

The deer bellows, the donkey

Brays, the lion roars

The duck quacks

The bull lows

The turkey gobbles

And the peacock screams

The quail chirps

The snake hisses

You, you, you,

You

Be beautiful and be silent
