Translating Hungarian 'Let it go' back into English

Because honestly, I like the visual imagery better in the Hungarian than the English version.  Plus, I've wanted to do this for a while, and the internet can only translate it so well.  

Note: Any time you see ( ), I'm clarifying certain parts, elaborating on the meaning/context, giving you an alternate translation to that specific word/line, etc.  Also giving you the Hungarian title like this, as well.

I think that about covers it.  I hope you enjoy!

Legyen hó!  (Let there be snow!)

The sea of snow stands on the mountains today

The (radiant) light blinds you, doesn't it?

Even your heart is locked in ice

Here on the edge of the world.

I know that I messed up (ruined it)

My horrible deed hurts me.  (I did a terrible thing and it hurts).

I wonder, how did it really happen

Perhaps it doesn't make a difference anymore.

For a long time, my soul feared only this

It's very difficult that's it's happened today.

Well, let the wind come, and the winter and the snow!

Maybe it's good like this, as well.

Let there be snow.  Let there be snow.

There's never been anything to compare.  (To this.)

Let there be snow.  Let there be snow.

The kind that moves your soul.

If only I knew, what else will happen here yet!

Let a thousand gales come!

And in the meantime ice sits on (literally: in) my heart.

Today strange powers (strength) is coming

From the far-off distance.

This feeling that doesn't disappear

Speaks of (great) suffering.

This is fate-changing, right here and now,

Then let everything be ice and snow.

My heart calls in a magical (enchanting) voice

It calls me so...

Isn't it good?  Isn't it good?

How my worries fly away with the wind.

Isn't it good?  Isn't it good?

I won't cry anymore.

Big step, it waits for me here at home,

What was in the past doesn't hurt.

My heart, like a snow flurry,

Will blow through everything.

Let my soul gallop

Let it rampage, then let it sing!  (Call!)

And if in the end every minute of yours

Has turned into an ice crystal,

Tomorrow will find me

And the past will fall away.  (Depart from me/never find me again.)

It's good, don't you agree?  It's good, don't you agree?

How the shining snow takes me away.

It's good, isn't it?  It's good, isn't it?

The power moves through (inside) me.

Look at me now

Everything was different long ago

But today a new day awaits.

And in the meantime ice sits on my heart.
