The Olympic gold flame soars high
And calls us
The Earth will be happy and young
We need to do everything
So that the Olympic flame never goes out
The sun rises in the sky as if for the first time
The start is a long way away
But Moscow has awoken
Amid this celebration
Amid the Earth.
Oh, how they walk tall down the festive streets
The queens of swimming, the kings of boxing
Today you can't hide away from sport
There is no refuge from sport
The stadium rumbles
Like the onset of an earthquake
The far distance will repeat a hundred times the hum of the stadium
The sun shines proudly in the sky like a medal
The Olympic gold flame soars high
And calls us
The Earth will be happy and young
We need to do everything
So that the Olympic flame never goes out
The sun rises in the sky as if for the first time
We will remember this bright day
For a long time
The Earth will be happy and young
Moscow is vast
The flags fly over it
Like a colourful multitude of clouds.
Today mankind will be better and more kind
In sport there are rivals,
But no enemies.
Today you can't hide away from sport
There is no refuge from sport
Today there will be more joy and warmth
On the Earth
The hum of the stadium will echo a thousand times in the far distance
The sun shines proudly in the sky like a medal
The Olympic gold flame soars high
And calls us
The Earth will be happy and young

Did you hear what happened to me last month? I was going to Spain on business at that time. After I had taken my bags out of the car, I realised that I had forgotten my passport at home. I found a phone and telephoned home in hope that my wife had not left for work yet. A minute passed but nobody answered I thought *She is not at home at the moment. She has already left*. Then I thought that my wife might be in the bathroom. When some seconds had passed my wife answered. I was right she was taking a shower while I telephoned. She quickly jumped in her car and brought me my passport to the airport. She arrived just in time.
