奥林匹克会歌
会歌（
Olympic Song）1896年在雅典第1届奥运会的开幕式上，国王乔治一世宣布奥运会开幕以后，合唱队唱起了一首庄严而动听的歌曲《奥林匹克圣歌》。这是一首古希腊歌曲,由希腊人萨马拉斯作曲，帕拉马斯作词，但当时并未确定其为奥运会会歌。此后的历届奥运会均由东道主确定会歌，未形成统一的会歌形式。如1936年柏林奥运会的会歌是施特劳斯特意为这届奥运会所作的《奥林匹克之歌》；1948年奥运会则选用奎尔特作曲、基普林作词的《不为自己而为主》作为会歌。20 世纪50年代以后有人建议重新创作新曲,作为永久性的会歌,但几经尝试都不能令人满意。于是，国际奥委会在
1958年于东京举行的第55次全会上最后确定还是用《奥林匹克圣歌》作为奥林匹克会歌。其乐谱存放于国际奥委会总部。从此以后,在每届奥运会的开、闭幕式上都能听到这首悠扬的古希腊乐曲。这首歌歌词内容如下：古代不朽之神，
美丽、伟大而正直的圣洁之父。
祈求降临尘世以彰显自己，
啊
!永远不朽的古代之神。Oh yeah, oh
In these moments, moments of our lives
All the world is ours
And this world is so right
You and I sharing this time together, oh
Sharing the same dream
As time goes by, we will find
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times, we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
Mmm, oh yeah
With each moment, moment passing by
We'll make memories that will last our whole lives
As you and I travel through time together, oh yeah
Living this sweet dream
And every day we can say
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times
The tender times, we'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
The special times are the times I share with you
These tender moments
When heaven is so close
These are the moments that I know
These are the special times
Times we'll remember
These are the precious times, the tender times
We'll hold in our hearts forever
These are the sweetest times
These times together
And through it all one thing will always be true
Oh yeah, yeah
The special times are the times I share
