"Je sais pas" (meaning "I Don't Know") is the second and last commercial single from album D'eux by Celine Dion. It was released on October 2, 1995 in Francophone countries and in December 1995 in selected European countries. In Canada it was a radio-only release (July 1995).
The narrator of the song boasts that she is unafraid to face any number of tribulations and challenges of the body and spirit, but admits life without the one she loves just might be more than she could bear. Dion has stated that this is one of her favorites among her songs, because it reminds her of her feelings for husband René Angélil.
"Je sais pas" was written and produced by Jean-Jacques Goldman and J. Kapler.
Two music videos were made for this song: a non-singing version and a performance (singing) one, both of which were directed by Gregg Masuak in 1995. These music videos can be found on Dion's DVD On ne change pas (2005). Edited versions of the non-singing video were also used for "Next Plane Out" and "Call the Man" singles (none of them was released in France).
Céline Marie Claudette Dion, CC OQ ChLD (/ˈdiːɒn/;French: [selin d(z)ijɔ̃]; born 30 March 1968) is a Canadian singer, songwriter, businesswoman and occasional actress. Born into a large family from Charlemagne, Quebec, Dion emerged as a teen star in the French-speaking world after her manager and future husband René Angélil mortgaged his home to finance her first record. Dion first gained international recognition in the 1980s by winning both the 1982 Yamaha World Popular Song Festival and the 1988 Eurovision Song Contest where she represented Switzerland. Following a series of French albums in the early 1980s, she signed on to CBS Records Canada in 1986. In 1990, she released the English-language album Unison, establishing herself as a viable pop artist in North America and other English-speaking areas of the world.
During the 1990s, with the help of Angélil, she achieved worldwide fame after signing with Epic Records and releasing several English albums along with additional French albums, becoming one of the most successful artists in pop music history. Two of her albums, Falling Into You (1996) and Let's Talk About Love (1997), were both certified diamond in the US. In addition, her 1995 album D'eux, is the best-selling French-language album of all time. However, in 1999 at the height of her success, Dion announced a hiatus from entertainment in order to start a family and spend time with her husband, who had been diagnosed with cancer. She returned to the top of pop music in 2002 and signed a three-year (later extended to almost five years) contract to perform nightly in a five-star theatrical show at the Colosseum at Caesars Palace, Paradise, Nevada.
Nolwenn Leroy (born Nolwenn Le Magueresse; 28 September 1982 in Saint-Renan, Brittany, France), is a French singer-songwriter, musician and voice actress. Originally classically trained, she rose to fame after winning the second season of the French television music competition Star Academy, in 2002. She has since recorded five studio albums and scored two number one singles, "Cassé" and "Nolwenn Ohwo!", on the French charts. In 2012, her album Bretonne was certified two times diamond for sales exceeding one million copies.
Leroy has received numerous awards and nominations. In January 2015, she was ranked 17th on Le Journal du Dimanche's 50 Most Loved Celebrities in France, making her the top female singer on the list since December 2012.
Leroy is fluent in English, having spent a year in Ohio as an exchange student. She sings in many languages, including French, Breton, English and Irish Gaelic. She has also performed in Italian and Spanish.

D¨¦tourner des rivi¨¨res, porter des poids
Traverser des mers, je saurais faire
(Divert rivers, carrying weights
Cross oceans, I would know how)
D¨¦fier des machines, narguer des lois
Les foudres divines, 稤 m'effraie pas
(Challenging machines, flouting laws
God's wrath, don't afraid me)
J'sais prendre un coup, le rendre aussi
River des clous, 稤 j'ai appris
(I know how to accept a hit, give it back also
To punch nails, that I learned)
J'suis pas victime, j'suis pas colombe
Et pour qu'on m'abîme, faut qu'je tombe
(I'm no victim, I'm no dove
And to break me, I have to fall)
Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid
Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas
(I know the winters, I know the cold
But life without you, I don't know)
Je savais le silence depuis longtemps
J'en sais la violence, son goût de sang
(I knew the silence for a long time
I know it's violence, it's blood taste)
Rouges col¨¨res, sombres douleurs
Je sais ces guerres, j'en ai pas peur
(Red angers, dark pains
I know the wars, I'm not afraid of them)
Je sais me d¨¦fendre, j'ai bien appris
On est pas des tendres par ici
(I can defend myself, I learned well
We're not tenders by here)
Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid
Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas
(I know the winters, I know the cold
But life without you, I don't know)
Lutte apr¨¨s lutte, pire apr¨¨s pire
Chaque minute, j'ai cru tenir
(Fight after fight, worst after worst
Each minute, I tought I could hold)
J'voudrais apprendre jour apr¨¨s jour
Mais qui commande ¨¤ nos amours?
(I would love to learn day after day
But who orders to our loves?)
Je sais les hivers, je sais le froid
Mais la vie sans toi, je sais pas
(I know the winters, I know the cold
But life without you, I don't know)
Je sais pas
Je sais pas
(I don't know
I don't know)
