    Brainy Blonde

    Each Olympics has its own theme song. See the following sites for just a few.

    The Gorm says:

    Originally in Greek the Olympic Anthem is called Cantata by Costis Palamas

    Immortal spirit of antiquity,
    Father of the true, beautiful and good,
    Descend, appear, shed over us thy light
    Upon this ground and under this sky
    Which has first witnessed thy unperishable fame

    Give life and animation to those noble games!
    Throw wreaths of fadeless flowers to the victors
    In the race and in the strife!
    Create in our breasts, hearts of steel!

    In thy light, plains, mountains and seas

    See the Olympic Museum website
    Shine in a roseate hue and form a vast temple
    To which all nations throng to adore thee,
    Oh immportal spirit of antiquity!
