Maître Corbeau, sur un arbre perché
Master Corbeau, on a perched tree
Tenait en son bec un fromage
Held in his beak a cheese
Maître Renard, par l'odeur alléché
Master Renard, by the enticed smell
Lui tint à peu près ce langage
He kept this language roughly
'Hé, bonjour, Monsieur du Corbeau
'Hey, Hello, Monsieur du Corbeau
Que vous êtes joli, que vous me semblez beau!
How pretty you are, that you seem beautiful to me!
Sans mentir, si votre ramage
Without lying, if your ramage
Se rapporte à votre plumage
Relates to your plumage
Vous êtes le Phénix des hôtes de ces bois.'
You are the phoenix of the hosts of these woods. '
A ces mots le Corbeau ne se sent pas de joie
To these words the crow does not feel joy
Et pour montrer sa belle voix
And to show her beautiful voice
Il ouvre un large bec, laisse tomber sa proie
He opens a large beak, drops his prey
Le Renard s'en saisit, et dit 'Mon bon Monsieur
The fox seizes it, and says' my good sir
Apprenez que tout flatteur
Learn that any flattering
Vit aux dépens de celui qui l'écoute
Lives at the expense of the listening
Cette leçon vaut bien un fromage, sans doute.'
This lesson is well worth a cheese, no doubt. '
Le Corbeau, honteux et confus
The crow, shameful and confused
Jura, mais un peu tard, qu'on ne l'y prendrait plus
Jura, but a little late, that we wouldn't take her anymore
