      <title>WATCH: Ukranian girl's rendition of Let it Go from Frozen in shelter wins hearts
</title>
      <link>https://english.aaj.tv/news/30280494/</link>
      <description>&lt;p&gt;&lt;strong&gt;A video of a young girl singing Let it Go from Disney's Frozen has won the internet since it first surfaced on Thursday.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The video of the girl, named Amelia,was posted by Marta Smekhova on Facebook, and shows her singing the song in a bomb shelter in an undisclosed location in Kyiv. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;'From the first word in the [bomb shelter] came complete silence... everyone put their business aside and listen[ed] to a song by this girl who was just beaming light... even men couldn't hold back the tears,' Smekhova wrote.&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;She goes on to write about her visit to the shelter. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;div itemscope itemtype="https://schema.org/VideoObject"&gt;&lt;meta itemprop="uploadDate" content="Mon Mar 07 2022 02:41:09 GMT-0800 (Pacific Standard Time)"/&gt;&lt;meta itemprop="name" content="A Little Ukrainian Girl Singing “Let It Go” In A Bomb Shelter. "/&gt;&lt;meta itemprop="duration" content="P0Y0M0DT0H1M45S" /&gt;&lt;meta itemprop="thumbnailUrl" content="https://content.jwplatform.com/thumbs/zN9nAl1y-1920.jpg"/&gt;&lt;meta itemprop="contentUrl" content="https://content.jwplatform.com/videos/zN9nAl1y-nOEzxORL.mp4"/&gt;&lt;div style="position:relative; overflow:hidden; padding-bottom:56.25%"&gt;&lt;iframe src="https://cdn.jwplayer.com/players/zN9nAl1y-ZzskA7c5.html" width="100%" height="100%" frameborder="0" scrolling="auto" title="A Little Ukrainian Girl Singing “Let It Go” In A Bomb Shelter. " style="position:absolute;" allowfullscreen&gt;&lt;/iframe&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;'Seeing in one of the Kyiv bomb storage, how children draw bright pictures in half-darkness, I, of course, couldn't silently pass by... stopped, praised, offered to do a little exhibition to somehow decorate this not so happy place,' she wrote.  &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;However, she wrote that when she spoke to Amelia, she found her to be talkative. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;'Amelia told me that besides drawing, she loves to sing... and whispered shared her dream that she wants to sing on a big stage in front of the audience...&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;That's when Smekhova asked her to sing as she had an audience. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Amelia sings the Oscar-winning song in Ukrainian language and one can see people filming her and some are lying on the floor as she sings. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;The Facebook video has been shared hundreds of times and received a lot of media attention, too including from Idina Menzel who sang the song for the 2014 movie. &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Menzel tweeted the video saying "we see you."&lt;/p&gt;

            &lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;p&gt;			&lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;Social media users have shared the video saying the girl represents courage in times of adversity. &lt;/p&gt;
