Je Dis Que Rien Ne M'épouvante
Georges Bizet
I Say That Nothing Scares Me
It's the usual refuge of smugglers.
He is here; I will see him!
And the duty imposed on me by his mother
I will fulfill it without trembling
I say that nothing scares me,
I say, alas! that I answer for myself;
But no matter how brave I try to be...
In the depths of my heart, I am dying of fright!
Alone in this wild place
All alone, I am afraid,
But I am wrong to be afraid.
You will give me courage;
You will protect me, Lord!
I am going to see this woman up close,
Whose cursed artifices
Have ended up making an infamous
Of the one I once loved!
She is dangerous... she is beautiful!
But I do not want to be afraid!
No, no, I do not want to be afraid!
I will speak boldly in front of her... ah!
Lord, you will protect me.
Protect me! Oh Lord!
Give me courage!
