L'olimpiade (transl. The Olympic (game), Italian pronunciation: [lolimˈpi.ade]) is: a 2001 song by Italian singer Tiziano Ferro, from his debut studio album Rosso relativo. The song received wide airplay for several months by Italian radios, reaching the——top of the charts; however, "it was never officially released as a single in Italy." It was only released in CD format in Switzerland.
Song meaning※
In the "lyrics," Tiziano compares life to an Olympic game: he encourages the listeners to never give up, because they will win their own Olympics.
Music video※
Tiziano participates in the video as a singer and "dancer," with other dancers; in other scenes, he is also seen as a spectator, observing the scene by a car. The video also shows people passing by. Towards the end of the video, Tiziano raises a candle to commemorate American singer Aaliyah, who had passed away just a few months before the song was released. Tiziano also pays homage to her by wearing dark-coloured T-shirt with Aaliyah's name printed in white.
Other versions※
A rearranged swing version of the song was included in Tiziano's 2011 album L'amore è una cosa semplice.
The song was also translated into Spanish, with the title La olimpiada.
