The syllable pattern followed is 4-4-4 syllable count for the refrain and a 6-6 count for the lyrics. The translation is not 100% sincere to the original. Mostly, there is an extra word at the end of the line which is added for rhyme and meter.
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
People in this world all
When oppose and stand tall
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
Thinking low about us then
When slander be made by men
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
A life thus when we lead
To beg plead and then feed
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
Objects of all desire
When we lose them entire
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
Dames in bosom and robe
When they cast eyes that probe
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
When friends shall poison feed
Into our mouths indeed
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
Armies that raw flesh delight
When they bring spears and fight
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear
This sky when it crumbles
And upon us tumbles
There is no fear
There is no fear
Nothing called fear

Love this poem..almost like a chant to ward away fear.
Maybe the refrain can put after each stanza? It will add to the effect...while reading..
"Go tell everyone,
I bow to none.
not when people rile me
or walk over me;
not when they spread slander
or call me a madman;
Yes! go, tell everyone,
I bow to none.
I beg to feed myself
I have lost all the things I loved-
Will that make me bow down?
Not for a woman with all her charms,
Or for friends who with poison me beguile;
Bring out your men
all strong and armed
I am not afraid, No!
For I bow to none.
what, the sky is falling down,
do you say?
Let it fall, let it crumble
let it break me asunder,
Me, the mad man,
I shall walk alone
I shall walk alone
with head held high;
For I bow
To none."
