Lyrics[]
Oaken:
Here in Arendelle
The winters can be, well...
Let’s just say it’s not so very good
But even at this latitude
We’ll keep a happy attitude
Until we burn our final piece of wood
See, there’s a word we live by
To keep our feelings great
You don’t have this word in English
But allow me to translate:
Hygge!
Hygge means comfortable
Hygge means cozy
Hygge means sitting by the fire
With your cheeks all rosy
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
I will translate more
Hygge means candlelight
Hygge means easy
Hygge means all you care to play
How you say? Parcheesi!
Finding a spider in your shoe
Not hygge!
Having an annoying thing to do
Not hygge!
Hygge’s not scheduled
You can’t see where it starts or ends
Most importantly it can’t be hygge
Without your family and friends
Chorus:
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Oaken:
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Chorus:
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Now it’s time to sweat
Oaken: Thank you family! Bye bye for now!
[Door opens]
Oaken: Hoo-hoo!
Kristoff: We need supplies. Where are your carrots? I’m gonna need them all.
Anna: And, um... hi sir! I was hoping you might have a slightly less smelly, more size-appropriate winter cloak, or dress, or something for climbing the North Mountain?
Oaken: Something for climbing the North Mountain where many have frozen to death? Yeah! I have exactly what you are needing: Hygge!
Anna: Hygge? What’s hygge?
Oaken:
Hygge is alcohol
Hygge is eating
Hygge is glögg
Amazing stuff when you are needing heating
Hygge means you're friendly
You stop wanting to be rude
Join us for some super duper hygge
In the sauna in the nude
Chorus: Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Oaken: Don't worry about your body. Nothing we haven't seen
Chorus: Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Oaken: Whip yourself with a branch and you’ll feel nice and clean
Chorus: Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Oaken: Go on, get in the sauna
Chorus: Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Oaken:
Come on, you know you wanna
First you have to dance
[Family dances]
Oaken: Now it's time to drink!
[Dancing continues]
Oaken: A toast to all our family and friends
Chorus:
To Hygge in a storm that never ends
So let it keep on going
We always have each other
The glögg is brewed
We’re here, we’re nude
And so let’s have another
A toast to all our family and friends
To Hygge in a storm that never ends
So let it keep on going
We always have each other
The glögg is brewed
We’re here, we’re nude
And so let’s have another
Toast to all our family and friends
To hygge in a storm that never ends
So let it keep on going
We always have each other
The glögg is brewed
We’re here, we’re nude
And so-
Kristoff: EXCUSE ME! Starving to death within a week!
Chorus: Not hygge!
Kristoff A future that’s cold and dead and bleak!
Chorus: Not hygge!
Anna:
He’s right. We have to go.
We have an urgent job to do
Oaken:
If you can’t stay here with us to hygge
Take all the hygge that you can with you
Chorus: Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Oaken: Coziest cloak, and dress, and boots
Anna: Thanks!
Chorus: Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Oaken: One of our skimpiest swimming suits
Olaf: Yes!
Chorus:
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Oaken:
You need this rope and this axe
And also you need to relax
Please take this sweater, I knit it
And son, if I may be permitted
Heed my advice, I don't need to say twice
You're about to go out on a death march of ice
Take all of the carrots and also a flask
For yours is a lethal and ludicrous task
If we all die... keep this stuff as a loaner
If we survive... you owe ten thousand kroner
Olaf: Deal!
Chorus:
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Ahh... Ahh...
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge, hygge
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Hyggelig, hyggelig, hyggelig
Woooo!
