「ありのままで」

ディズニーは、ご存知のとおり数々のミュージカル映画を手がけていて、映像もすばらしいですが、音楽もいつも感動的です。現在封切られている「アナと雪の女王」の主題歌は、”Let It Go”「ありのままで」。Letは「〜させる」という意味ですが、抑えられている何かを解き放ち、いかせてやる、というイメージ。たとえば、捕まえた小鳥を放してやるシーンを想像してください。ぜひ映画を見て、このタイトルのイメージを体感してくださいね。

♪Let It Go

by Robert Lopez and Kristen Anderson-Lopez
from Frozen

The snow glows white on the mount 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

If 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’ll stand, and here I’m staying
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 crystalizes 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
