Let it Go in French--Liberé delivré
Libérée, délivrée
Libérée, délivr♪

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

French

Laisse Aller

Le neige est d'un blanc éclatant dans la montagne ce soir
Aucune trace de pas visible
Un royaume d'isolement
Et on dirait bien que je suis la Reine
Le vent hurle comme un tourbillon d'orage à l'intérieur
Je ne peux plus le garder, Dieu sait que j'ai essayé

Ne les laisse pas entrer, ne les laisse pas voir
Sois la gentille fille que tu as toujours été
Dissimule, ne ressens rien, ne les laisse pas savoir
Eh bien maintenant ils savent

Laisse aller, laisse aller
Je ne peux plus le retenir
Laisse aller, laisse aller
Pars et claque la porte
Je me fiche de ce qu'ils vont dire
Laisse l'orage éclater
Le froid ne m'a jamais dérangé, de toute façon

C'est drôle de voir comment la distance
Peut rendre tout petit
Et les peurs qui me contrôlaient
Ne peuvent pas me toucher

Il est temps de voir ce que je peux faire
Pour tester les limites et les dépasser
Pas de bien, pas de mal, pas de règles pour moi
Je suis libre

Laisse aller, laisse aller
Je suis seule avec le vent et le ciel
Laisse aller, laisse aller
Tu ne me verra jamais pleurer
Je me tiens là et je resterai
Laisse l'orage éclater

Mes pouvoirs résonnent à travers l'air et dans le sol
Mon âme tournoie en fragments de glace tout autour
Et une pensée cristallise comme une explosion de glace
Je ne reviendrai jamais
Le passé est le passé

Laisse aller, laisse aller
Et je me lèverai aux aurores
laisse aller, laisse aller
La fille parfaite est partie
Je suis là dans la lumière du jour
Laisse l'orage éclater
Le froid ne m'a jamais dérangé, de toute façon
