Lyrics:

[English]

[中文]

The snow glows white on the mountain tonight

今夜，山上的雪闪耀着白光

Not a footprint to be seen

看不见任何足迹

A kingdom of isolation

一个与世隔绝的王国

And it looks like I'm the queen

而我，似乎就是这里的女王

The wind is howling like this swirling storm inside

心中的风暴在肆虐，狂风呼啸

Couldn't keep it in, heaven knows I tried

我努力过，竭尽全力，却无法压抑

Don't let them in, don't let them see

别让他们进来，别让他们看见

Be the good girl you always have to be

做个好女孩，一直那样

Conceal, don't feel, don't let them know

隐藏，别感受，别让他们知道

Well, now they know

好吧，现在他们知道了

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

Can't hold it back anymore

再也无法压抑

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

Turn away and slam the door

转身离开，关上门

I don't care what they're going to say

我不在乎他们会说什么

Let the storm rage on

让暴风雪肆虐吧

The cold never bothered me anyway

反正严寒从来没有困扰过我

...

...

It's funny how some distance makes everything seem small

真有趣，距离让一切都显得渺小

And the fears that once controlled me can't get to me at all

曾经控制我的恐惧，再也无法触及我

It's time to see what I can do

是时候看看我能做什么了

To test the limits and break through

去挑战极限，突破束缚

No right, no wrong, no rules for me

没有对错，没有规则，对我而言

I'm free

我自由了

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

I am one with the wind and sky

我与风和天空融为一体

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

You'll never see me cry

你永远不会看到我哭泣

Here I stand and here I'll stay

我站在这里，我将留在这里

Let the storm rage on

让暴风雪肆虐吧

...

...

My power flurries through the air into the ground

我的力量在空气中飞舞，直达地面

My soul is spiraling in frozen fractals all around

我的灵魂在冰晶碎片中旋转

And one thought crystallizes like an icy blast

一个念头像冰冷的冲击波般结晶

I'm never going back, the past is in the past

我永远不会回去，过去已成过去

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

And I'll rise like the break of dawn

我将像黎明般升起

Let it go, let it go

随它吧，随它吧

That perfect girl is gone

那个完美的女孩已经消失了

Here I stand in the light of day

我站在阳光下

Let the storm rage on

让暴风雪肆虐吧

The cold never bothered me anyway

反正严寒从来没有困扰过我

...
