Caillou, genou, chou, pou, joujou, bijou
Caillou, knee, cabbage, pou, toy, jewelry
Répétait sans fin le petit hibou
Repeatedly repeated the small owl
Joujou, bijou, pou, chou, caillou, genou
Toy, jewel, pou, cabbage, pebble, knee
Non, se disait-il, non, ce n'est pas tout
No, he said to himself, no, that's not all
Il y en a sept pourtant, sept en tout
There are seven, however, seven in all
Bijou, caillou, pou, genou, chou, joujou
Jewel, pebble, pou, knee, cabbage, toy
Ce n'est ni bambou, ni clou, ni filou
It is neither bamboo, nor nail nor filou
Quel est donc le septième, et le hibou
What is the seventh, and the owl
La patte appuyée au creux de sa joue
The paw supported in the hollow of his cheek
Se cachait de honte à l'ombre du houx
Hid with shame in the shade of the holly
Et il se désolait, si fatigué
And he was sorry, so tired
Par tous ses devoirs de jeune écolier
By all his duties as a young schoolboy
Qu'il oubliait, en regardant le ciel
That he forgot, looking at heaven
Entre les branches épaisses du houx
Between the thick branches of the holly
Que son nom, oui, son propre nom, hibou
That his name, yes, his own name, owl
Prenait, lui aussi, un X au pluriel
Also took an x in the plural
