I really dislike how they translated this song. help

Question

orginal lyrics Was so easy for you just to let it all go. - en español: Era tan fácil para ti solo dejarlo e irte.

Am I mistaken or does that not translate to "Was so easy for you to just leave it and go" ...can that NOT be translated any more purely, to the original, while being grammatically proper en español.

Answer 1

Tal vez: "Fue tan fácil para ti dejar que simplemente todo terminara"

you put an accent on your "ti"... - lydianish1, Jan 26, 2012

Answer 2

It seems the complaint is that the idea of "let it go" is lost and becomes "leave it and go". So how about

Era tan fácil para ti solo dejarlo desaparecer (esfumarse / irse / evaporarse)

which conveys a similar meaning and perahaps fits the meter.

Answer 3

Can we have a little more context, please? Ie, is it 'let it all go' as in, to release something emotionally, or as in to forget about consequences and go wild? I know, I don't know my music well enough....
