Let It Snow
Moscow Boys Choir Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
But the fire is so delightful
And since we've no place to go
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
It doesn't show signs of stopping
And I've bought some corn for popping
The lights are turned way down low
When we finally kiss goodnight
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
But if you'll really hold me tight
All the way home I'll be warm
The fire is slowly dying
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
But as long as you love me so
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
The opening verse of the song, "Oh the weather outside is frightful, but the fire is so delightful, and since we've no place to go, let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" sets the cozy, wintery mood of the song from the very beginning. The singer is stuck inside because of the snowstorm outside, but they're making the most of it and enjoying the warmth of the fire. The repeated chorus of "Let it snow!" emphasizes their contentment and even their desire for the snow to continue falling.
In the second verse, the singer continues to describe their indoor activities, saying "It doesn't show signs of stopping, and I've bought some corn for popping, the lights are turned way down low, let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!" Here, we see that the singer is fully embracing their hibernation mode: they're preparing snacks and even adjusting the lighting to create a cozy atmosphere. The phrase "it doesn't show signs of stopping" juxtaposes the rough weather against the comforting scene inside.
The third verse brings in a romantic element, with the singer saying "When we finally kiss goodnight, how I'll hate going out in the storm! But if you'll really hold me tight, all the way home I'll be warm." Here, the snowstorm isn't just a backdrop, but a real obstacle to the singer's desires. They don't want to leave the cozy setting they've created, but the idea of being held close by their loved one helps them feel brave enough to brave the storm. The final verse brings the song to a bittersweet end, as the fire starts to die down and the singer acknowledges their eventual goodbye, but still feels comforted by their love.
Line by Line Meaning
Oh the weather outside is frightful
The climate outside is very undesirable
But the fire is so delightful
However, the warmth of our indoor fire is very pleasant
And since we've no place to go
Given that we have nowhere else to be
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We might as well allow the snow to fall heavily
It doesn't show signs of stopping
The snowfall does not seem to be coming to an end anytime soon
And I've bought some corn for popping
As a result, I have purchased popcorn to eat
The lights are turned way down low
The illumination has been dimmed which further sets the wintry mood
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
Once again, we're embracing the heavy snowfall
When we finally kiss goodnight
When we bid farewell and share a romantic kiss
How I'll hate going out in the storm!
How much I dread going outside into the snowstorm
But if you'll really hold me tight
Yet, if you hold me close to keep the frigid snowstorm at bay
All the way home I'll be warm
During our travel back home, I'll feel the warmth of your affection
The fire is slowly dying
As the fire in the fireplace gradually burns out
And, my dear, we're still goodbying
My dear, we're still parting ways
But as long as you love me so
But as long as you still harbor love for me
Let it snow! Let it snow! Let it snow!
We can still embrace the snowfall and spend a cozy evening together
