German term (edited):
Risiko (hier)
Nothing happens
because it's poetry/word play, has a clear structure and the meaning is not distorted, I would stay close to the original
nothing happens without/ (taking (a)) risk(s) but without/( taking (a)) risk(s) what happens is/ nothing
nothing happens without/ (taking (a)) risk(s) but without/( taking (a)) risk(s) what happens is/ nothing
