English Translation

 

1.Fear I  have not , fear I  have not,

Even if all the world opposes me,

Fear I have not, fear I have not,

Even if they judge me as the worst,

And tell things bad about me,

Fear I have not, Fear I have not,

Even if I  am fated to live by begging,

Fear I have not, Fear I have not,

Even if I loose all my wealth due to desires,

Fear I have not, fear I have not.

 

2.Even if well endowed ladies with bra,

Throw their eyes at me,

Fear I have not, fear I have not,

Even if dear friends mine,

Make me eat poisonous things,

Fear I have not, fear I have not,

Even if hoards of army,

With green uniform comes,

Fear I have not, fear I have not,

Even if the entire sky breaks,

And falls on my head,

Fears I have not, fear I have not.
