Translation of the song lyrics Sel Et Citron - Jali

Sel Et Citron (original)

Goutte-à-goutte au coin du bar
Bout-à-bout, je les aligne
La nuit, les chats se font rares
Les chiens errants descendent en ville
Halfway between the salt and the limes
Halfway between the tears and the lights
Here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am
Un par un, je les enfile
Parfois deux par deux selon l’humeur
Puisqu’on ne meurt qu’une fois
Autant vivre
Puisqu’on ne meurt qu’une fois
On s’ennivre
A trop fuir, on en prend l’habitude
Entre le dernier verre et le réveil, on titube
Entre un mensonge et une larme, on sourit
Entre le sel et le citron, on subit/soupire (?)

(translation)

Drip around the corner from the bar
End to end, I line 'em up
At night, cats are scarce
Stray dogs are coming to town
Halfway between the salt and the limes
Halfway between the tears and the lights
Here I am, here I am
Here I am, here I am
One by one I put them on
Sometimes two by two depending on the mood
Since you only die once
Might as well live
Since you only die once
We get drunk
Running away too much, we get used to it
Between the last drink and waking up, we stagger
Between a lie and a tear, we smile
Between the salt and the lemon, we suffer/sigh (?)
