Libérée, délivrée

(The formatting is really off, but oh well!)


Let It Go

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

 


Libérée, délivrée

 

L'hiver s'installe doucement dans la nuit

La neige est reine à son tour

Un royaume de solitude

Ma place est là pour toujours








Liberated, Freed

 

Winter settles gently into the night

The snow is Queen in its turn

A kingdom of isolation

My place is here forever


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

 


Le vent qui hurle en moi ne pense plus à demain

Il est bien trop fort

J'ai lutté, en vain

Cache tes pouvoirs, n'en parle pas

Fais attention, le secret survivra

Pas d'états d'âme, pas de tourments

De sentiments


The wind which rages within me no longer thinks of tomorrow

It is too strong

I’ve fought in vain

Hide your powers, don’t talk about them

Be careful, the secret will survive

No states of mind, no torment

Or feelings

 


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

 


Libérée, délivrée

Je ne mentirai plus jamais

Libérée, délivrée

C'est décidé, je m'en vais

J'ai laissé mon enfance en été





Perdue dans l'hiver

le froid est pour moi le prix de la liberté


Liberated, freed

I will never lie again

Liberated, freed

It’s decided, I’m leaving

I left my childhood in summer

 



Lost in winter

The cold is, for me, the price of freedom


It's funny how some distance

Makes everything seem small

And the fears that once controlled me

Can't get to me at all

 


Quand on prend de la hauteur

Tout semble insignifiant

La tristesse, l'angoisse et la peur

M'ont quittée depuis longtemps


When one takes a step back

Everything seems insignificant

Sadness, agony and fear

Left me long ago


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!


Je veux voir ce que je peux faire

De cette magie pleine de mystères

Le bien, le mal, je dis tant pis

Tant pis

 


I want to see what I can do

With this magic full of mysteries

Good and evil – I say too bad

Too bad


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


Libérée, délivrée

Les étoiles me tendent les bras

Libérée, délivrée

Non, je ne pleure pas

Me voilà, oui

Je suis là

Perdue dans l'hiver




Liberated, freed

The stars offer me their arms

Liberated, freed

No, I’m not crying

Here I am, yes

I am here

Lost in winter


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

 


Mon pouvoir vient du ciel et envahit l'espace

Mon âme s'exprime en dessinant et sculptant dans la glace

Et mes pensées sont des fleurs de cristal gelées

Je ne reviendrai pas, le passé est passé




My power comes from the sky and invades space

My soul expresses itself in designing and sculpting ice

And my thoughts are flowers of frozen crystal

I’m never going back, the past has passed


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!

 


Libérée, délivrée,

Désormais plus rien ne m’arrête

Libérée, délivrée

Plus de princesse parfaite

Je suis là

Comme je l'ai rêvé

Perdue dans l'hiver



Le froid est pour moi le prix de la liberté


Liberated, freed,

From now on nothing will stop me anymore

Liberated, freed

No longer a perfect princess

I am here

As I dreamed

Lost in winter

 

The cold is, for me, the price of freedom
