Lyrics & English translation

It is the smugglers ordinary refuge.
He is here, I will see him!
And the task that his mother imposed
Without trembling, I will accomplish it.

I say that nothing can frighten me.
I say, alas, that I respond to myself;
But I play the part of the courageous one in vain...
From the bottom of my heart, I die of fear!
Alone in this savage place
All alone I am afraid,
But I am wrong to have fear.
You will give me courage;
You will protect me, Lord!

I am going to see face to face this woman,
Whose cursed guile
Has ended up to make a vile person
Of him that I love once!
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 up before her...ah!
Lord, you will protect me.
Protect me! O Lord!
Give me courage!
