Since the mythical times.
Since the mythical times
They stand like bright beacons of love and friendship Pelops and Hercules
And the flames that light
At the altar of Olympia
Are the people’s compass
To the path they paved.
Fine men and women
Arrived on time once more
From the neighborhoods of the world to compete for wreath.
In friendship and love
In the stadium once again
They will strive for peace
And world happiness…
