Original lyrics

Dangerous to Dream

Elsa: I can't be what you expect of me

But I'm trying every day with all I do and do not say

Here on the edge of the abyss

Knowing everything in my whole life has led to this

And so I pull inside myself,

Close the walls, put up my guard

I practice every single day for this

So why is it so hard?

'Cause I can't show you I'm not as cold as I seem

There are things you cannot know

And it's dangerous to dream.

Anna: Sorry, I'm late.

Elsa: I know I'll never see that sunny day

When this trial is finally through

And it could just be me and you

I can't dwell on what we've lost

And how secrecy and silence comes at such a cost

I wish I could tell the truth,

Show you who's behind the door

I wish you knew what all this pantomime and pageantry was for

I have to be so cautious and you're so extreme

We're different, you and I

And it's dangerous to dream

It's dangerous to wish I could make choices of my own

Dangerous to even have that thought

I'm dangerous just standing here for everyone to see

If I let go of rules, who knows how dangerous I'd be?

Bishop: Your Majesty - the gloves.

Elsa: Why right now would I make this mistake?

How could I let my concentration break?

Conceal... don't feel...

Conceal, don't feel...

Conceal... don't feel...

Bishop: Sem hon heldr inum helgum eignum

Ok krýnd í þessum helga stað

Ek té fram fyrir yðr...

Queen Elsa of Arendelle

Choir: Queen anointed

Our chosen daughter

Our blessed queen

Behold!

Elsa: I can't believe I'm standing here

Did I really make it through?

Father, I did it! - Now what do I do?

I can't stop smiling, how strange

Does this mean that things are different?

Could they really change?

And could I open up that door

And finally see you face to face?

I guess a queen can change the rules

But not the reasons they're in place

I can't be what you expect of me

And I'm not what I seem

But I would love to know you

Is it dangerous to dream?

The system seems to have changed the language into Transliteration, so I'll change the language here.

Oh, no, I just thought that, if a song in language A contains a part in language B, and one translated that part into language A, it should be categorized as a transliteration. I also think I saw this in some other songs, I'll search for them now.

Actually, a Transliteration involves a change in writing script (Latin to Cyrillic, Cyrillic to Hanggul, etc.). If a song is performed in 2+ languages, the consensus is that when it is translated, the whole song must be translated. In cases where it's the same language of the original song, the system reverts it automatically to Transliteration.

Yes, I know that, I just put transliteration because I saw other translations like these marked as transliterations.

Should these languages be changed as well?

They were. Thanks for the links.

You're welcome, but note that there are many more out there, it's something I think I've almost always seen in the case of a translation like that.

[@Icey] questa traduzione era mia con dei crediti a te nei commenti dell'autore per la parte in norreno. Dato che letteralmente la parte in norreno è l'unico elemento caratterizzante della traduzione, ho impostato te come autrice. Fanne quello che vuoi :)
(Forse si potrebbe anche trasformare in un'annotazione...)
