proud to be greek for this anthem.Palamas poet and Samaras composer since 1896

[MrAthenian]

The lyrics are in greek.
Translation in English:
O Ancient immortal Spirit, pure father
Of beauty, of greatness and of truth,
Descend, reveal yourself and flash like lightning here,
within the glory of your own earth and sky.

At running and at wrestling and at throwing,
Shine in the momentum of noble contests,
And crown with the unfading branch
And make the body worthy and ironlike.

Plains, mountains and seas glow with you
Like a white-and-purple great temple,
And hurries at the temple here, your pilgrim,
O Ancient immortal Spirit, every nation

[apollonmagg]

Nice Greek !!! At least you guys sang the original version

When the ceremony started with the french actor (Jamel Debbouze) and Zidane i thought i was watching Asterix and Obelix Mission Cleopatra (both played in this film) 😅

Flag upside-down
Worst Olympic opening ceremony in history of d games.

[kourtourafi]

Music by renowned opera composer Spyridon Samaras and lyrics by Kostis Palamas, famous poet of late 19th and mid 20th, the most prominent representative of Parnassianism in Greece. Parnassianism was literary movement inaugurated by a group of French poets during the positivist period of the 19th century (1860s–1890s), occurring after romanticism and prior to symbolism).

Upside down flag means national danger, bruh.

[aniretakoulounnay]

A complete ceremonial disaster! At least they sang the anthem in the original Greek language and with a very good pronunciation indeed

[JuanFranciscoSerrano-svpt]

Una de los mejores coros desde de Atenas, una pena el error de la bandera.

[galadeagonzalez]

Всадник апокалипсиса 😂😂😂 на коне прискакал

[stantinosPalaiologos-xifj]

Very beautiful ceremony..no problem..cause a small mistake..Olympic flag is similar up side down///Congragulation Paris!

[ovatask]

H σημαια αναποδα.!!! Μπραβο ρε παιδια, τα κανατε σαν τα μουτρα σας... Γελοίοι και απαραδεκτοι...

[klarchenxy]

So so schön echt toll ! 🫶🩷🫶Habe es im Tv gesehen.

[Blue_]

What a disgrace! How can you put the flag upside down? Ugh..! Olympics have to return to Greece. At least their ceremony was purely perfection ❤

[sotipon]

Why didn't you listen to the Greek national anthem, shouldn't the birthplace of the Olympic Games be honored, or did something change in the protocol from 1896 when they were organized again?

[zhenchen]

Da flag! incompetent but with good humour very Paris-like!

[denizegem]

So, when is the real opening ceremony? lol 🤣

[Ultravox]

This interpretation and performance of this elegic anthem is one of the best in the olympic history. Second ranking is Sissel Kirkjebøs performance with children in Lillehammer 1994.

[stephiepapa]

Beautifully sang indeed! But the greek flag should also be there as it always is during the olympic anthem. I'll leave the hanging of the Olympic flag upside down without comment. 😢

[dmitrynedopyokin]

Why do they have this golden bull head behind the singers? Weird
