Rise up, it’s time to start. Time to help all the earth to be happy and young Floats up in the sky Olympic flame Come now, it’s up to us to sustain ever radiant sheen of the sun Stars are on the track, always the same
It’s yet so long until we start, though we’ll start, yes, we’ll start Listen, Sochi is up Joy is all around us now, joy of every sort So let us watch the athletes walk holding hands fast and hard Let us cheer them up as they are Kings of freestyle skiing and queens of biathlon
You can’t get rid of sport, you cannot give it up, And there’s no way to get away A stadium is full; a stadium awaits Vibrating like a seismic wave And these vibrations so far resonate up in the skies And the sun is proudly shining above like a golden prize
