首先先介紹一下這首歌曲的背景，這首歌曲的前提建立在石頭長老們預言北歐王國艾倫戴爾將會被一位心如冰霜的女王統治﹙Prophecy﹚，而這位女王很可能就是艾莎。這首歌之後被“For the First Time in Forever”取代，但水晶蘋果非常喜歡這一首“Life's too Short”，這首歌顯現了兩姊妹內心真正的感受及衝突。
這首歌的歌詞是這樣的︰
Anna︰ I came all this way today to give us a fresh start.
安娜︰我今天來到這裡是想讓我們重新開始
But now that you’re like wow it’s all like warm in my heart
但我看到妳我覺得︰哇！我超欣慰的！
Elsa︰I'm so glad you like it sis 'cause this is the real me
艾莎︰我很開心妳喜歡真正的我
You have no idea how great it feels to be free
妳無法想像自由的感覺有多棒
Anna︰ We've been falling out for way too long, so let’s forget who’s right
安娜︰我們疏遠了這麼久，讓我們別管誰是對的
Elsa︰ And forget who’s wrong
艾莎︰而誰是錯的
Both︰Okay！
合唱︰OK！
Elsa︰Why don’t you stay, there’s room for family in my court
艾莎︰妳何不留在我的皇宮，這裡還有很多房間
Both︰ Cause life’s too short
合唱︰因為生命苦短
Anna︰ To always feel shut out and unloved by the sister I long to know
安娜︰沒時間去覺得我愛的姊姊總是拒我於門外
Both︰Life’s too short
合唱︰因為生命苦短
Elsa︰ To never let you celebrate me, the true queen of the ice and snow
艾莎︰沒時間去在乎我的妹妹從不為我生為冰雪女王而驕傲
Anna︰Wohohooo！
安娜︰哇呴呴！
Both︰I never understood, but now I do
Life’s too short to miss out on a sister like you
合唱︰我從不了解，直到現在，生命苦短，沒有時間去浪費我們的姊妹情誼
Anna︰So you’ll come back, then.
安娜︰所以妳會回來？
Elsa︰ Back？
艾莎︰回去？
Anna︰To thaw the fjord, it’s frozen over, no one can get in or out?
安娜︰回來解凍狹灣啊！沒人可以進出！
Elsa︰Oh...
艾莎︰喔...
Anna︰Sooo....
安娜︰所以....
Elsa︰I don’t believe you！
艾莎︰我真不敢相信！
Anna︰What？！ I just assumed that you would have to...
安娜︰什麼？！我只是以為妳會....
Elsa︰ That I'll shove on the gloves, that’s how your story ends？！
艾莎︰戴回手套，這就是妳想要的結局？！
Anna︰ It does！It's just like it was, except for we’ll be best friends
安娜︰是啊！除了我們會是最好的朋友
Elsa︰ So that’s in your plan to force me back in a cage？
艾莎︰所以妳打算把我關回鐵籠裡？
Anna︰Whoa, whoa! Don’t get upset let’s get back on the same page
安娜︰哇哇！冷靜點我們好好談
Elsa︰Gee, thanks for coming up to see the place
And showing off your mastery of tact and grace, okay！
Run down the hill and spill my secrets, make a full report！
Bye-bye！
艾莎︰謝謝妳光臨寒舍並且展現妳處世的圓融，現在妳可以下山去告訴大家我的祕密了，掰掰！
Anna︰ Wait！
安娜︰等等！
Elsa︰ Cause life’s too short
艾莎︰因為生命苦短
Anna︰There it is！ The door you’d love to slam in my face！
You did well there for a spell, but now you’re back in the same place
Kick me out if you want, but I’m the only one who is
Not one hundred percent convinced the prophecy’s you！
安娜︰就是這樣！妳總愛讓我吃閉門羹！
妳的魔法很棒但妳又回到原點。
儘管趕我走吧！即使我是唯一相信妳不是像預言所說那樣的人。
Elsa︰You can think whatever you want 'cause I don’t care
You’re a fool who married a stranger！
艾莎︰隨便妳怎麼想，反正我不在乎，妳只是個嫁給陌生人的笨蛋！
Anna︰That is so unfair！
安娜︰這太不公平了！
Both︰I swear I’m through with taking your unshaking sisterly support！
HAH! Life’s too short!
合唱︰我怎麼會相信妳所謂堅定的姊妹情誼啊！
人生苦短！
Anna︰To let you treat the people down there just as coldly as you always treated me
安娜︰就讓妳像對我一樣冷酷的對待人民吧
Elsa︰La la lalala laaaa
艾莎︰啦啦啦啦啦啦啦﹙聽不到﹚
Both︰Life’s too short！
合唱︰人生苦短！
Elsa︰To listen to a reckless fool who only ever sees the things she wants to see
艾莎︰沒時間去聽信一個只看自己想看的粗魯笨蛋
Anna︰You don’t know
安娜︰妳不懂
Elsa︰You have no idea
艾莎︰妳才不懂
Both︰What I've been through
合唱︰我經歷過什麼
Because of you
因為妳
Life’s too short to waste another minute
生命苦短，不值得去浪費任何一分鐘
Life’s too short to even have you in it
不值得去浪費時間在妳身上
Life’s too short
生命苦短
Anna︰I've been so wrong about you
安娜︰我真是看錯妳了
Elsa︰You？！ You've been so wrong about everything.
艾莎︰妳？！妳根本沒看對任何事
Anna︰Maybe you are the prophecy！
安娜︰或許妳就像預言說得那樣！
Elsa︰I am NOT the prophecy！
艾莎︰我才不是預言說的那樣！
