Sergio Mendes - Olympia Lyrics
From the corners of the world they come
The bravest and the best
To write their names in history
And to face the final test
With one purpose and the one aim
To give their souls and bodies to
The challenge of the game
Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man
And they reach out to each other
To make us all aware
That we celebrate our brotherhood
In the struggles that we share
Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
We will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man
And the truth of what you stand for
Will endure when we are gone
Just as long as people dare
To dream
Olympia, Olympia, Olympia
You live on, you live on
Olympia, Olympia
Light the flame
And let it burn
Olympia, Olympia
You will teach
And we will learn
We will learn
In your name
We have come
To honor courage
More than glory
More than fame.
We will learn
If we can
The triumph of the spirit
Is the victory of man

Eu com 10 anos de Idade, bateu uma saudade danada, elementos do Jazz nas coreografias em alta, tempo bom
Todo un clásico, inolvidables 80s !!!!!!!!!!!!
champion carnival！
EL MÁS HERMOSO HIMNO DE UNOS JUEGOS OLÍMPICOS!
El mejor de todos los tiempos!
Finally found this video. Olympic summer 1984
essa música é demais, há muitos anos é o toque do meu celular
Y saber que todos somos hermanos en este gran planeta no nos importa el. Color.idioma bandera . frontera o religion solo de saber que somos Hermanos y mucha gente no lo entiende
Show! Faz anos que queria achar ela, e não lembrava quem cantava, descobri por acaso nesse canal sensacional dos anos 80: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DBWme6cWJNk
La " VIDA " se hizo solo para los verdaderos "GUERREROS" TU eres uno de ellos ,no dejes de serlo adelante eres " unico" tu , yo,aquel,aquellos,nosotros***

Depois de anos, ouvindo novamente essa música. Arrepiei.
Finalmente achei essa musica!!!! Tinha que ser usada em todas as Olimpíadas desde 84, nem que fosse para botar nas músicas tocadas nos estádios. Ouvi ela aos 7 anos durante os Jogos de Los Angeles e, décadas depois, achava que tinha ouvido coisas já que nunca mais foi tocada ou sequer lembrada. Clássica até dizer chega! (e ainda foi composta por um brasileiro)
Olympia!! OLYMPIA!!
We will teach and YOU will LEARN!!
temazooo!
Los Angeles 1984
What an absolute piece of corny, cheesy 80s reeking shit.
a melhor musica de olimpíadas já feita até hoje.
Vôlei conquista um feito histórico , prata, o começo...
sergio m para olimpiadas master
On this day in 1984 {May 26th} Sergio Mendes, with vocalist Joe Pizzulo, performed "Olympia" on the Dick Clark ABC-TV network Saturday-afternoon program 'American Bandstand'...
It was the theme song for the 1984 Summer Olympics in Los Angeles...
One month earlier on April 1st, 1984 "Olympia" entered Billboard's Hot Top 100 chart at #77; four weeks later it would peak at #58 {for 1 week} and it spent 7 weeks on the Top 100...
Between 1966 and 1984 Mr. Mendes had fourteen records on the Hot Top 100 chart; three made the Top 10, "The Look of Love"* {#4 in 1968} "The Fool On the Hill" {#6 in 1968}, and "Never Let You Go"* {#4 in 1983}...
Sérgio Santos Mendes celebrated his 76th birthday three months ago on February 11th {2017}...
* Both "The Look of Love" and "Never Let You Go" peaked at #1 on Billboard's Adult Contemporary Tracks chart...
Full retroclassic videoclip. That mystical 80s style
simplesmente maravilhosa!!!👏👏👏
Esta música, feita para ser o hino dos jogos olímpicos de 1984, poderia ter sido o hino definitivo de todas as épocas. Pena que tenha caído no ostracismo.
no sabes lo que dices que tonto
Sim no BR foibesquecido sim,uma pena.
A MÚSICA MAIS LINDA DE TODAS AS OLIMPÍADAS. AMO ESSA MÚSICA!!!!!!!!!!!
