If life is a kind of fraud, please don't tell me the truth. If life is a dream, please let me never wake up. But I'm afraid, I'm afraid I'm afraid that life is a nightmare, and that shocks me awake, my whole body covered in cold sweat.
Jos elämä on valhe, ethän kerro minulle totuutta. Jos elämä on uni, ethän anna minun koskaan herätä. Mutta pelkään, pelkään, pelkään, että elämä on painajainen, ja se järkyttää minut hereille, koko vartaloni kylmän hien peitossa.

Good!
Only thing I was wondering is that it could be "jos elämä on valhetta" and "jos elämä on unta"
because that sounds better and we say more often like that. But the nominative form you used is also possible and because this is a poem, I let it stay.
