Greek
Θρύλε των γηπέδων Ολυμπιακέ
δαφνοστεφανωμένε μεγάλε και τρανέ,
έχεις δύναμή σου Ολυμπιακέ
τον πύρινό σου κόσμο που δε λυγά ποτέ.
Ολυμπί-Ολυμπί-Ολυμπιακέ
ομάδα ομαδάρα μου,
μεγάλη μου αγάπη,
Ολυμπιακάρα μου.
Δόξα στα παιδιά σου Ολυμπιακέ
χιλιοτραγουδισμένε, στον κόσμο ξακουστέ.
Τρέμουν στ' άκουσμά σου Ολυμπιακέ
κι ακόμα σε θυμούνται η Σάντος κι ο Πελέ.
Ολυμπί-Ολυμπί-Ολυμπιακέ
ομάδα ομαδάρα μου,
μεγάλη μου αγάπη,
Ολυμπιακάρα μου.
