"Let it go" in Old English/Anglo-Saxon ["Let it go" die Altenglische Sprache] <Part1/ Dǽl án> Hi all friends at italki, my name is Nichole, and I live in China. I'm intrigued to learn Germanic languages a lot. And I'm currently learning Old English/Anglo-Saxon, which shares many similarities to Icelandic or Standard German [Deutsch Sprache], here's my version of Old English 'lǽt hit gán', it may have many errors, but this is the first translation, so I may improve it later. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Éalá, ealle frías hér, ƿésað hál. Ic hátte Nichole and ƿuniᵹe on Cína. Nú can ic Niwe Ænglisc and Cínisc sprecan, ac ic hæbbe strang ágnett on ealla Germanisca spræca. :D ic hæbbe lætlice þine sang "let it go" on Niwum Ænglisc ᵹewended and hér hé is ----------------------------------------------------------------------------- Sé snáƿ glóƿeð on þæm beorge on nihte nóht fótspor hér tó séonne án ánsum cyningric and iċ eom séo cƿén Sé wind hé hƿíneð sƿá sƿá sé storm déop in mé Nóht tó stíeranne and ic hæbbe hit ᵹesáht Lǽt héo nóht in, lǽt héo nóht séon Béo góde mæᵹden sé þe þú ealneᵹ bist hýded, þýƿde, saga heore nóht. Nú cnáƿað héo. lǽt hit gán, lǽt hit gán Can náht longra hielt mé/Se cræft, hé is bordléas* lǽt hit gán, lǽt hit gán turnia onweᵹ and scytte þá duru. Ic carige nóht hƿæt héo mæᵹ secgan Lǽt sé storm tíehð séo ceald héo bið nú an dǽl of mé. *This sentence has two versions, the first one [Can náht longra hielt mé] is transliterated from "Can't hold it back anymore", the second is translated modelled on German version "Die Kraft sie ist Grenzenlos", and the weird thing is "cræft" is masculine in Anglo-Saxon but feminine in "German".
