The flame

The Olympic flame has passed

And our hearts have awakened,

without being able to measure time,

We fail to appreciate the present.

Listen, children of the world,

this that has been born in your hearts,

faith and joint effort,

the synchronicity of doing it very well.

Move and gain momentum,

Overcoming fear and worrying about what others will say,

make the game our motivation,

without the obsession of losing or winning.

Achieving self-mastery

with sport and sportsmanship

And when you feel a shadow in your soul,

Remember your visit to the Eiffel Tower.
