Voyage Lyrics

Voyage au bout de la nuit
Voyage au bout de la nuit
Voyage au bout de la nuit

Plumes sauvages
Le mirage
Kerozene
Au gris gris
Rattlesnake
Cadillac
Race humaine
Espace vie

Voyage au bout de la nuit

We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go, oh
Journey till the end of the world

Guitare noire
Lame rasoire
Porte bonheur
Accroche coeur
Vagabond
Bottle blond
Cicatrice
Sacrifice

Voyage au bout de la nuit

We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
We could go au bout du monde
Till the end of the night
Voyage au bout de la nuit
We could go, oh
Journey till the end of the world

Voyage au bout de la nuit

Cover art for Voyage lyrics by Charlotte Gainsbourg

It's been a while since I studied French but, uh, here's the LITERAL (emphasis here) translation:

journey to the end of the night journey to the end of the night journey to the end of the night

wild feathers the mirage kerosene au gris gris* rattlesnake Cadillac human race space life

journey to the end of the night

(we could go) to the end of the world etc.

black guitar razor blade porte bonheur** hang heart vagabond bottle blond scar sacrifice

etc.

*"gris" means "gray," as in the color, but "gris-gris" is a voodoo talisman **"bonheur" means "happiness," "porte" means either "door" or a form of the verb "porter," "to carry", so, idk here? "happiness door"?

did some reading–I thought it'd meant something along the lines of "happiness door" as well, but it turns out -bonheur means 'lucky charm'. so it's like carrying a bit of happiness with you!
