Literally it means "The donkey talking about ears". I think the closest equivalent expression in English would be "the pot calling the kettle black."

For some reason, this has been commonly translated as "the pot calling the kettle black", but it is actually the opposite. It is "Look who's talking!", as to say, How can a Donkey talk knowledgeable about ears, when they have ones that are esthetically not perfect. (although we know that mother nature did it for a reason).
But that is the expression, is the equivalent to Look who's talking..

The donkey talking about ears.
That would be our way of saying the pot calling the kettle black.

sweetgal and Blue Lily are write as both meanings could apply.
Saying cannot be translated literally, an equivalent has to be found.
