From Wikipedia:

Alouette, gentille Alouette

Lark, nice lark

Alouette, je te plumerai

Lark, I will pluck you

Je te plumerai la tête

I will pluck your head

(Je te plumerai la tête)

(I will pluck your head)

Et la tête

And your head

(Et la tête)

(And your head)

Alouette

Lark

(Alouette)

(Lark)

O-o-o-oh

Alouette, gentille Alouette
Alouette, je te plumerai
Je te plumerai le bec

I will pluck your beak

(Je te plumerai le bec)
Et le bec
(Et le bec)
Et la tête
(Et la tête)
Alouette
(Alouette)
O-o-o-oh

Et le cou

And your neck

Et le dos

And your back

Et les ailes

And your wings

Et les pattes

And your feet

Et la queue

And your tail

La Conclusion
The Ending

O-o-o-o-oh

Alouette, gentille Alouette

Lark, nice lark

Alouette, je te plumerai

Lark, I will pluck you

Naturally, the literal English translation does not match up well with the meter of the song, so a slightly less literal (but more singable) version would be:

Little skylark, lovely little skylark
Little lark, I'll pluck your feathers off
I’ll pluck the feathers off your head
I’ll pluck the feathers off your head
Off your head - off your head
Little lark, little lark
O-o-o-o-oh
