Olympic Dreams
Translations available in: English (original) | French | Spanish | Italian | German | Portuguese | Swedish | Russian | Dutch | Arabic

Determination, stamina, devoting your time and energy to realizing a dream, which you are not certain to reach. Talent is not enough in itself, still hardwork in itself has its reward anyways for athletes who choose to follow the long path to success, as they can learn many things about themselves and others through preparing for various competitions including the Olympic Games. However, the most wonderful feeling is when an athlete can be ’there’ and is able to show the world and particularly themselves that they are the best of all.


There is a wonderful song called ’Olympic Dreams’ by a German band called Mr. President. I would like to quote here the lyrics and you can listen to the song at this link on YouTube:

Listen to it, because it is one of the greatest of all and expresses the spirit of the Games so truly!! :)

Olympic Dreams

No day before
so full of deep devotion
and in my heart
I feel a strong emotion
Olympic fire
wakes my desire
to join in the games of the world

So far away the day's of pain and sorrow
enjoy the games
there's a new tomorrow
let's share the story
of fame and glory
the party of friendship for all

Refrain:

Goin' for Olympic dreams
Goin' for the gold
Goin' for the medals
That I never thought I'd hold
Flyin' on the wings of freedom
reachin' for the sky
the Olympic dreams will never die

The time has come just do it now or never
a star is born
and it will last forever
congratulations
and celebrations
it's only one moment in time

Refrain

The winner really takes it all
no loser will be standing small
so come on let us celebrate together

Refrain

(performed and written by Mr. President and Nino de Angelo)
