Do You Want To Build a Snowman?
Sayaka Kanda Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
雪だるま つくろう
ドアを開けて 一緒に遊ぼう
どうして出てこないの?
前は仲良くしてたのに なぜ会えないの
雪だるま つくろう 大きな雪だるま
あっち行ってアナ
わかったよ
雪だるま つくろう
自転車に乗ろう
ずっとひとりでいると
壁の絵とおしゃべりしちゃう
頑張れジャンヌ
さびしい部屋で 柱時計
見てたりするの
エルサ?
ねえ ドアを開けて 心配してるの
会いたいわ
そばにいれば 支え合える 2人で
あたしたちだけで これから
どうしていくの?
雪だるま つくろう
The song "Do You Want to Build a Snowman?" from the movie Frozen tells the story of two sisters, Elsa and Anna, who used to be close as children. However, Elsa's magical powers to create ice and snow caused her to accidentally harm Anna, and as a result, their parents decided to lock Elsa away to protect her and others. This led to Elsa isolating herself from Anna and the rest of the world for years. In the song, Anna is trying to get Elsa to come out of her room and play with her. She suggests they build a snowman together, but Elsa doesn't respond, causing Anna to wonder why they can't be close like they used to be. Eventually, the song shows the passage of time, as Anna grows up without her sister and becomes lonely, talking to the paintings on the wall and trying to make the best of her situation. The song ends with Anna still hoping to reconnect with Elsa, and the suggestion that building a snowman could be a way to do so.
The lyrics of the song are able to convey the emotional depth of the characters, particularly Anna's loneliness and longing for her sister's company. The idea of building a snowman becomes a metaphor for their relationship and the hope that they can repair it. The song is also able to capture the innocence and playfulness of childhood, as well as the pain and complexity of growing up and facing difficult situations.
