アレンデール王国の姉妹エルサとアナは仲良しで、王女エルサは生まれつき周囲を凍りつかせる能力をもっていました。幼い頃その能力のせいで妹に傷を負わせてしまい。以後その能力をずっと隠してきました。しかしエルサが女王の戴冠式を行う頃、パーティーで出会ったハンス王子と妹が結婚すると言い出したことによる口論がきっかけで能力が発露してしまい王国に甚大な被害をもたらしてしまいました。エルサは北の山中に逃げましたが「Let it go」はそのときのエルサの心情を歌った曲。
「let it go」は行かせようから転じて諦めのような心情の表現「もういいや」的な。映画を見た流れだとエルサがこれまでしてきた努力が思い起こされる。
「isolation」は孤独とか孤立とか
A kingdom of isolation,and it looks like I'm the Queen(隔てられた王国で女王はきっと私ね)
「howl」はうなる「Swirling」は渦巻くで
The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside(心に渦巻く嵐のように風は唸る)
I'll rise like the break of dawn(私は新しい夜明けの(太陽の)ように登っていくの)
すがすがしいまでの吹っ切れっぷりです!
「Let it go」 歌詞
The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in; Heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well now they know
Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free!
Let it go, let it go I am one with the wind and sky Let it go, let it go You'll never see me cry Here I stand And here I'll stay Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go And I'll rise like the break of dawn Let it go, let it go That perfect girl is gone Here I stand In the light of day Let the storm rage on
The cold never bothered me anyway! The snow glows white on the mountain tonight Not a footprint to be seen. A kingdom of isolation, and it looks like I'm the Queen The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside Couldn't keep it in; Heaven knows I tried
Don't let them in, don't let them see Be the good girl you always have to be Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know Well now they know
Let it go, let it go Can't hold it back anymore
Let it go, let it go Turn away and slam the door I don't care what they're going to say Let the storm rage on. The cold never bothered me anyway
It's funny how some distance Makes everything seem small And the fears that once controlled me Can't get to me at all
It's time to see what I can do To test the limits and break through No right, no wrong, no rules for me, I'm free!
Let it go, let it go I am one with the wind and sky Let it go, let it go You'll never see me cry Here I stand And here I'll stay Let the storm rage on
My power flurries through the air into the ground My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast I'm never going back, the past is in the past
Let it go, let it go And I'll rise like the break of dawn Let it go, let it go That perfect girl is gone Here I stand In the light of day Let the storm rage on
