I'm translating a song and its title is "failure"(the opposite of success) I could find some verbs with a similar meaning but I couldn't find a noun for "failure"

Traupman gives defectio, offensio, and ruina fortunarum for "failure". These can all work, depending on context and usage. I like ruina fortunarum best, myself, but it will all depend on how exactly you use it, and what exactly you mean. You might (depending on context) replace fortunarum with operae or nisus depending on whether you mean failure of outcome, or of construction, or of effort.
