Je Dis Que Rien Ne M'épouvante

Renée Fleming

I Say That Nothing Scares Me

I say that nothing scares me
I say, alas, that I’m in charge of myself
But no matter how brave I act
Deep down in my heart, I’m dying of fright
Alone, in this wild place
All by myself, I’m scared
But I’m wrong to be scared
You’ll give me courage
You’ll protect me, Lord
I’m going to see this woman up close
Whose cursed tricks
Have turned into a monster
The one I used to love
She’s dangerous, she’s beautiful
But I don’t want to be scared
No, no, I don’t want to be scared!
I’ll speak loudly in front of her
Ah! Lord... You’ll protect me
Ah! I say that nothing scares me, etc
