È online il nuovo duetto tra Anna e Elsa da Frozen the Musical, lo spettacolo di Broadway in scena al St. James Theatre e presto anche al West End di Londra. Il nuovo brano, composto da Robert Lopez e Kristen Anderson-Lopez, è un duetto tra le sorelle Anna e Elsa che va a sostituire il reprise di For the First Time in Forever nel momento in cui Anna arriva al palazzo di ghiaccio e cerca di convincere Elsa a tornare a casa.
Secondo Kristen Anderson-Lopez: “A causa del trauma subito da bambine, entrambe hanno una profonda paura di perdere l’altra. Elsa manifesta questa paura allontanando la sorella, mentre Anna lo fa aggrappandosi ad Elsa in maniera quasi disperata. Nella mia vita ho provato entrambe queste emozioni, e nella canzone ho cercato di riflettere entrambi questi modi di amare, che nascono da premesse buone ma in realtà sono sbagliati”.
Di seguito il video dell’esibizione live di Ciara Renée e McKenzie Kurtz, le nuove Elsa e Anna di Frozen the Musical a Broadway.
Video e testo di I Can’t Lose You da Frozen the Musical
Anna: No, Elsa wait! Don’t go!
Elsa: I’m just trying to protect you.
Anna: You don’t have to protect me. I’m not afraid!
Elsa: What do you want, Anna?
Anna:
This! Just you and I talking
And chatting, and taking up space
And you, you look so at peace
Which I did not predict after all that took place
I’m so sorry, I didn’t know, I couldn’t see
I knew you were hiding, but selfishly thought
You were hiding from me
That’s why I’ve come all this way
To look in your eyes and say
I can’t lose you, not again
I can’t lose you like then
If you could see yourself the way I do
Then you’d see why I can’t lose you
Elsa:
Wait! I’m happy you came
But it’s not safe to stay here and talk
Don’t get close, this is all so brand new
Let me first learn to crawl before I try to walk
I’m at home here, out in the cold, up in the air
But it all turns to chaos near people I love
And with how much I care
Please don’t remind me to feel
Believe me, the danger is real
Insieme:
I can’t lose you, not again
I can’t lose you like then
Elsa:
You don’t know the things that I can do
Keep your distance ‘cause I can’t lose-
(Anna: …I can’t lose-)
Anna:
You have to listen. I’ve come here to tell you
That everything’s different now that I understand
Elsa:
I know you mean well, but the air’s getting colder
Just leave me alone, let me get this in hand
Anna:
But I’m here for you! We can fix this together
For once try to trust me, I’m begging you now
Elsa:
Don’t you see I’m the storm? And you make it worse?
I would fix it, but I don’t know how…!
Insieme: I can’t lose you, try to see
Anna: Why can’t you turn to me?
Elsa: I’m trying to tell you that
Insieme: I can’t lose you, like before
Elsa: As much as I wish, I can’t open that door
Anna: Why can’t you open that door?
Insieme:
If you loved yourself the way I do
Then you’d see why I can’t lose you!
