@askrahn I apologize, I made a mistake in writing, the sentence is only...
Let it be then.

Let it be then... is a verse from a song but I don't understand the meaning.

@yohapulido1 right, what is the song? Who wrote it?

I can't find "let it go then" in those lyrics, but i found this:
"And high up above, or down below
When you're too in love to let it go
But if you never try, you'll never know
Just what you're worth"
In this, the "it" in "let it go" refers to love. It means "when you're in love so much that you can't stop being in love, even if you need to".
If someone tells you to "let it go", they're often talking about stopping dwelling on or "holding onto" some specific strong emotion or memory, like anger, love, hope, etc.
Does that help?

@yohapulido1 no problem!
Songs and poetry are hard, and sometimes aren't even intended to make sense. They're just supposed to give the impression of a feeling.

@askrahn You are absolutely right, I tried to learn the typical idioms,because you have many and sometimes are a bit strange.

@yohapulido1 We do, and I don't know why.
If you have some that you have a hard time remembering, I can try to explain.
