Meet the Israeli Voices of ‘Frozen’

Image by Disney
‘Frozen’ has hit the place where it (almost) never freezes: Israel.
The Disney hit, which has grossed $1.13 billion worldwide — and counting, translates to “Lishbor Et Ha’Kerach” in Hebrew, which means “Breaking the Ice”.
“Let It Go” becomes ‘La’azov’ in Hebrew, and it means “To Let Go / To Leave.” Ice Queen Elsa is voiced by Mona Mor. Parents, if you want lure your kids into enjoying Hebrew school, showing them this video is probably a good plan.
In case you want to sing along, we’ve got the lyrics (in Hebrew, because, let’s be honest, you’ve already memorized the English ones):
Ha’sheleg bohek al harei ha’kfor,
Ha’makom reil milvadi
Mamlechet bdidut so’eret,
Ha’malka zo ani
So’eret ru’ach kmo sofot be’rigshotay
Ve-hi rotsah la’tset ve-lishlot alay.
Sod le’hachbi
Lo tachsefi
Ve-tihi tova u-malchutit
Ken ze sofi, lo yegalu
Tov, achshav yedu

Ve-ha’chofesh bi matchil linshov
Le’shachrer, la’azov
Ve-lalechet ad ha’sof
Le’shachrer, eid sodot yoter
She-ha’sufa tis’ar
Ha’kor lo mafri’a li, lo choder.
Matschik eich lo dimyanti
Marchak maktin ha’kol
Ha’pchadim kulam shaltu bi,
Ze shayach kvar la’etmol
Achshav uchal ulay lir’ot
Ma mesugelet la’asot
Ein tov, ein ra
Sof-sof ani chofshit!
La’azov, la’azov
Le’shachrer et sodot chayai

Lo evke yoter ve-dai

She-ha’sufa tis’ar
Kochi choder me-ha’avir la’adama
Nafshi rokemet kishutim pru’im kan ba’shmama
U-machshava achat tslula mi’kol ha’sh’ar
Ha’perek ha’hu nigmar – Ma she’avar avar
La’azov, la’azov
U-mipo i-efshar lipol
La’azov, la’azov
Lir’ot, linshom, ligdol
Le’shachrer, dai le’histater
She-ha’sufa tis’ar
Ha’kor lo mafri’a li, lo choder.

I hope you appreciated this article. Before you go, I’d like to ask you to please support the Forward.
Now more than ever, American Jews need independent news they can trust, with reporting driven by truth, not ideology. We serve you, not any ideological agenda.
At a time when other newsrooms are closing or cutting back, the Forward has removed its paywall and invested additional resources to report on the ground from Israel and around the U.S. on the impact of the war, rising antisemitism and polarized discourse.
This is a great time to support independent Jewish journalism you rely on. Make a gift today!
— Rachel Fishman Feddersen, Publisher and CEO
