Tárulj fel (Open up [your secrets])


Nearly my entire body shivers, even though the breeze isn't chilly

This feeling is familiar, like a dream that the night has drawn into its mists.

Secret bond, as thin as a strand of hair

It calls me there, where an ancient home awaits.


Like a bygone bastion of old, I guard a hundred secrets

What hides, tell me, in the very depths of your song?


Open up!  What does this song whisper to me?

Open up!  Don't hide away!

This is the voice for which I thirst, therefore don't hide it from me!


Now despair has disappeared, that has strangled me for so long

This is where the answer hides, it whispers of the reason for my very existence.

They always saw me as different from who I really was, no rules have ever really fit me

But finally now I will journey on the path to a new future.


Open up!  Fear has departed.  (From me.)

I'd change, I'd fly on wings already!

You are my destiny, my end-  Secretive shadow!

Oh, speak to me then, long desired-for goal!

I have to see it now, come blessed light!


Chorus: Past the boundaries of dreams

A river clamors on the borders of the North...


Iduna: The waves that hide your past.


Elsa: It waits for me!


Elsa and Iduna: Open up!  This is a step for destiny (lit: a destiny kind of step)

Bear responsibility for what the end hands you!  (Reaches out towards you.)


Iduna: For you, this answer is your life!


Elsa: How I've longed for this!


Iduna: How she's longed for this!


Elsa: Oh, open up!  (Your secrets.)
