The first Olympics歌词完整版
In the valley of Olympia beneath the ancient sun
The flame was lit the games begun the laurels to be won
In seven-seven-six BC the first race was run
A footrace to the altar in the honor of the sun
Koroibos won the stadion his name forever known
As the victor of Olympia where the olive wreaths were sown
Oh hear the heralds call across the lands so wide
To honor Zeus they came in peace with pride they could not hide
Run wrestle fight in Zeus's sight let the games begin
Every four years they faced their fears in a quest to win
From near and far beneath the star they gathered for the prize
In Olympia's sacred heart where the spirit never dies
Athletes trained with all their might for glory and for fame
In the gymnasium's sacred light they prepared for every game
The pentathlon was the challenge for the brave and for the strong
A test of speed and skill and strength where only the best belong
And when the games were done the hecatomb was made
A hundred oxen sacrificed in Zeus's name they prayed
From the ashes of the past the modern games arose
In Athens eighteen-ninety-six the Olympic spirit grows
Now women and men together strive to reach the highest peak
In the name of peace and unity the victory they seek
Run wrestle fight in modern light let the games begin
Every four years with hopes and cheers the world comes to win
From every land with heart and hand they gather for the prize
In the Olympic spirit's heart where the dream never dies
So let the torch be carried on through time's relentless flow
The games of old in stories told where the olive branches grow
