Su YouTube, in attesa dell’uscita al cinema della featurette in America, sono approdate le sette canzoni originali che potrete ascoltare in italiano dal 28 dicembre al cinema, prima di Coco, in Frozen – Le Avventure di Olaf.
Ve le segnaliamo una ad una, di seguito, con tanto di testo.

RING IN THE SEASON,
Kristen Bell (Anna), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Josh Gad (Olaf)

[Anna:] Look at everyone that’ll realize
We planned a party as a big surprise
Soon the ballroom will echo with sounds of cheer
As we ring in the season this year

[Elsa:] This is overdue
Gotta look our best
[Olaf:] I’ve never been so nicely dressed
[Elsa:] We’ll be hosting and toasting the whole night through
As we ring in the season with you
[Anna:] It’s the first Christmas in forever
[Elsa:] Since we opened up the gate
[Anna:] And it’s the first Christmas I remember to date
[Anna & Elsa:] And it’s already worth the wait!
[All:] Look at all the joy that is everywhere
[Elsa:] I feel the Christmas spirit in the air
[All:] And the party will start at the strike of noon
And we’ll ring in the season so soon
[All:] And it’s almost time to ring the bell
And hear it chime through Arendelle
[Elsa:] It’s finally here and it’s happening fast
[Anna:] We’ll make up for all we have missed in the past
[All:] It’s time to celebrate
As we ring in the season at last!

THE BALLAD OF FLEMMINGRAD,
Jonathan Groff (Kristoff)

Every December we all gather round
To pay our respects to a troll so renowned
In remembrance of the friend we had
A jolly old soul we called Flemmingrad

We all dig deep down
And we uproot the past
We shove up its nostril a fistful of grass
We shape his likeness, bless his soul
Oh, Flemmy the fungus troll

RING IN THE SEASON (Reprise),
Idina Menzel (Elsa)

It was long ago, they would ring the bell
We could hear it chime through Arendelle
I remember the way that I felt back then
We would ring in the season
We would ring in the season

THAT TIME OF YEAR, 
Josh Gad (Olaf), Idina Menzel (Elsa), Kristen Bell (Anna), Cast

[Olaf:]
Happy, merry, holly, jolly season’s greetings here
I’m wondering what your family does at that time of year
Love and joy and peace on Earth and tidings of good cheer
Do you have tradition things
For that time of year

[Villagers:]
Well, we hang up boughs of evergreen on every single doorway
Bake a giant cookie in the wavy shape of Norway
Go from door to door to door while sailing with our choir
[Olaf:] Hang up all your giant socks above an open fire
(That sounds safe)
So happy, merry yuletide carols, faithful friends are dear
Thanks for sharing what you do
At that time of year
(Better get a move on if we’re gonna hit every house in the kingdom)
Jolly, merry, happy, holly, on a midnight clear
I’m here to ask you what you do
At that time of year
Hi, shalom, happy solstice, fancy chandelier
I’m looking for tradition stuff
For that time of year
[Villagers:]
Well, we make our decorations out of flotsam and jetsam
Bake a yummy fruitcake, and you can’t leave till you get some
[Olaf:] (That went right through me)
[Villager:] Buy each other presents and then hide them very nimbly
[Olaf:] Wait up for a chubby man to shimmy down your chimney
(Breaking and entering: ok on Christmas)
Oh, happy, merry, muletide barrels, faithful – of cheer
Thanks for sharing what you do
At that time of year
Thank you
[Villagers:]
We knit scarves and sweaters and we wear our matching mittens
Don’t forget the jammies that I knitted for my kittens
Eight nights in a row we light menorahs on our mantels
[Olaf:]
You cut down a tree and then you dress its corpse with candles
…I love it!
Anna and Elsa will have all that they need
I’ll fill my sleigh here with the help of my steed
It’ll be the best time of year
[Villagers:] It’s up to you
[Olaf:] Up to me
[Villagers:] Up to – (mew!)
[Olaf:]
Happy, merry, Mele Kaliki, holly, jolly, happy, tappy
A chubby man will soon appear and faithful friends, a tiny deer
And festive tidings, midnight clearing
(Did I leave this fruitcake here?)
At that time of year!

THAT TIME OF YEAR (Reprise), 
Josh Gad (Olaf)

[Anna:] ‘Cause when we’re together
I have everything on my list
[Elsa:] And when we’re together
I have all I wished
[Anna:] All around the Christmas tree
There’ll be dreams coming true
[Elsa:] But when we’re together
My favorite gift is you
[Both:] I would travel miles and miles
And I would follow any star
I’d go almost any place
If it’s any place you are
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
[Anna:] When we’re together
[Elsa:] I’ll forever feel at home
And when we’re together
[Anna:] When we’re together
[Elsa:] We’ll be safe and warm
[Both:] Doesn’t matter where we are
If you’re there with me
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
That’s my favorite place
[Both:] To be
‘Cause when we’re together
[Elsa:] It’s a holiday every night
[Both:] And when we’re together
Then the season’s bright
[Elsa:] I don’t need the bells to ring
[Anna:] I don’t need the bells
[Elsa:] I’ll know when it’s here
[Anna:] I’ll know when it’s here
[Elsa:] ‘Cause when we’re together
[Both:] I could stay forever
And when we’re together
[Anna, Elsa and Olaf:] It’s my favorite time of year

They gifted him berries and moss cake and stew
He gobbled with zeal as he zealously grew
To such a large old Flemmingrad
He always got full and for that, he was glad
They loved to watch him roll, roll, roll
With laughter, he would roll, roll, roll
Then one winter’s day humans crept up so fast
The trolls had to roll through a tight mountain pass
But dear old giant Flemmingrad
He tried to go through, but got stuck just a tad
The people were frightened and pulled out a sword
So, Flemmy, he blended right into the fjord
The ballad of old Flemmingrad
He never got out, and for that we are sad
Wedged but not forgotten
For Flemmy couldn’t roll, roll, roll
Oh, Flemmy, won’t you roll, roll, roll
And that’s why we have this tradition
Every December we all gather round
To pay our respects to a troll so renowned
In remembrance of the friend we had
A jolly old soul we called Flemmingrad
We all dig deep down
And we uproot the past
We shove up its nostril a fistful of grass
We shape his likeness, bless his soul
Oh, Flemmy the fungus troll

Diretto dai registi vincitori dell’Emmy Kevin Deters e Stevie Wermers-Skelton (Lanny & Wayne – Missione Natale), Frozen – Le Avventure di Olaf è prodotto dal premio Oscar Roy Conli (Big Hero 6) e include nuove canzoni originali scritte da Elyssa Samsel e Kate Anderson.
È stata confermata anche in Italia la distribuzione al cinema con il lungometraggio Coco, in uscita il 21 dicembre 2017. Secondo John Lasseter questo è “un abbinamento perfetto: entrambi raccontano storie bellissime, incentrate sulla famiglia e sul modo in cui le persone portano avanti le proprie tradizioni”.
