Idina Menzel - Let It Go (Disney Film, Frozen)

       Frozen, which is one of Walt Disney animation films, was first released in the U.S. on November 19, 2013. While I was flying to Hawaii from Japan, I watched this movie in plane. I am not huge fan of Disney but have watched most Disney animations so far and like some of them, such as The Incredibles and A Bug's Life. As soon as I started watching Frozen for my first time, I got into this movie because it reminds me the bond between sisters. I have a sister, who has been always my best friend in the world since we were little, and she has been always on my side no matter how far apart from one another. Obviously, Frozen is my new favorite Disney movie!

       After coming back to the U.S., I knew that this movie is incredibly popular in Japan now. Frozen was released in Japan four months later the released date in the U.S. The song of this movie, Let It Go, is dubbed into Japanese and sung by Takako Matsu in Japanese version.

     Indeed, this song is dubbed into another 42 languages and dialects worldwide. This music video is very interesting! I wish I could understand all languages.

       These days, I often listened to this song, which was sung by Idina Menzel, and been trying to learn new vocabularies from the lyrics.

Lyrics

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've 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!
