Rio Grande Lyrics in English by Eddy Mitchell, Laurent Voulzy

Below, I translated the lyrics of the song Rio Grande by Eddy Mitchell from French to English.
Ça commence comme dans un film noir
It starts like a film noir
Un jeune couple embarqué dans une sale histoire
A young couple caught up in a dirty story
P'tits voleurs fichés et recherchés
Little thieves registered and wanted
La vie les a changés en marginaux blessés
Life has changed them into wounded misfits
En cavale, changeant chaque soir
On the run, changing every night
D'hôtel, d'identité, évitant les bars
Hotel, ID, avoiding bars
Bêtes traqués, une seule lueur d'espoir
Hunted beasts, a single glimmer of hope
Ça s'ra la fin du blues
It will be the end of the blues
Dans l'port de Veracruz
In the port of Veracruz
Rio, Rio Grande, dès la frontière passée
Rio, Rio Grande, as soon as the border is crossed
Nous s'rons blanchis, sauvés
We are cleared, saved
Rio, Rio Grande, le temps va s'arrêter
Rio, Rio Grande, time will stand still
Pour mieux nous oublier
To better forget us
On s'promet une vie, sans blues
We promise ourselves a life, without blues
Tout commence à Veracruz
It all starts in Veracruz
Vrais mensonges, rêveurs éveillés
Real lies, daydreamers
Le Mexique est bien loin du supermarché
Mexico is far from the supermarket
Les vigiles nous ont vite repérés
The security guards quickly spotted us
Ça s'ra toujours le blues
It will always be the blues
Dans la banlieue d'Mulhouse
In the suburbs of Mulhouse
Rio, Rio Grande, dès la frontière passée
Rio, Rio Grande, as soon as the border is crossed
Nous s'rons blanchis, sauvés
We are cleared, saved
Rio, Rio Grande, le temps va s'arrêter
Rio, Rio Grande, time will stand still
Pour mieux nous oublier
To better forget us
Rio, Rio Grande, dès la frontière passée
Rio, Rio Grande, as soon as the border is crossed
Nous s'rons blanchis, sauvés
We are cleared, saved
Rio, Rio Grande, le temps va s'arrêter
Rio, Rio Grande, time will stand still
Pour mieux nous oublier
To better forget us
