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!
