京奧倒數(五):Play Part In History

  

  奧運史上的第一首主題曲(奧林匹克頌歌不算的話),應該是1984年洛杉磯奧運上,由知名作曲家Giorgio Moroder創作的"Reach Out"。在1984年洛杉磯奧運之後,每一屆的奧運主辦單位都會選出一首歌曲,用來詮釋表現當屆的奧運主辦國家的精神和特色。

  這首歌曲會被普遍認為是最早被世人所知的主題曲的原因,是1984年的洛杉磯奧運當時電視轉播的技術已經成熟,這一首歌也伴隨著這一屆的奧運,在全球同步播放。

  不過這首歌曲的原唱是誰似乎沒有個詳細解答(可能是年代久遠了吧~~),有很多說法都指向Lionel Richie,但是Lionel Richie在當年的開幕式演唱的歌曲叫"All Night Long"。我當初找到這首歌反而是在作曲家Giorgio Moroder的精選輯當中,而且裡面收錄的是人聲演唱的版本喔!這首歌曲可以說是具備了日後多數運動比賽主題曲的基調─振奮人心、把握夢想的歌詞和悠揚、激昂的旋律。

Reach Out

Reach out
reach out for the medal

Reach out
reach out for the gold.
Come play to win
never give in

The time is right
for you to come and
make your stand.
Reach out
reach out

You now hold the
future in your hand

You have come from
everywhere across
the land.
The stars are shining bright
make it yours tonight

You know every wish
you have's at your
command.
Reach out
reach out for the medal
. . .
Reach out
reach out.

Now's the time to take
hold of your dream

You are standing on the
edge of history.
So let the games begin
may the best man win

Give your all for all
the world to see.
Reach out
reach out for the medal
. . .
Reach out
reach out for the medal
reach out
reach out for the gold.
Reach out
reach out for the medal
reach out
reach out for the gold.


Giorgio Moroder - Reach Out
