[ Ссылка ] - "Start now", is the official song of the Lausanne 2020 Youth Olympic Games. The song entitled "Start Now" will be one of the emblems of the Games and the expression of the values of Lausanne 2020.
The song is the outcome of a competition launched in collaboration with the Haute Ecole de Musique Vaud Valais Fribourg (HEMU).

The music of composer Gaspard Colin is the result of a competition which was launched in December 2018, to create the official song of the Games. Students and alumni from HEMU were invited to compete to compose the song that will accompany the best young athletes in the world, and their audiences, at the 3rd Winter Youth Olympic Games.

Conceived as a true celebration of Switzerland and youth, "Start Now" harmoniously mixes Alpine horns and modern music. The lyrics are sung in the four Swiss national languages by four artists - two men and two women - who gave their voices to "Start Now": Romaine Müller, Davide De Vita aka "Dave De Vita", Joanne Gaillard and the Romance rapper Ivo Orlik aka "Giganto". They were accompanied by a trio of Alphorn players, a string quintet, François Christe on drums, Andrew Audiger on keyboard and Gaspard Colin on production. The chorus of the song has been translated in to English by volunteers so that the athletes from more than 80 nations participating in the Games, can take ownership of it.

The "making of" the video of "Start Now" was produced and edited entirely by Oriane Dupasquier, a young French-speaking student of visual communication, who was integrated into the staff of Lausanne 2020. This is another great example of the willingness of the Organizing Committee to promote and support Swiss youth by giving them the opportunity to express themselves through the Winter Youth Olympic Games.

LYRICS
On rêve tous d’être au top
On connait tous des hauts et des bas
Rêvez avec nous que rien ne nous stop
Si vos espoirs nous portent, tous nos rêves seront là

Three, we wanna reach the top, top, top
Two, don’t ever want to stop, stop, stop
One, dance dance dance, to the rhythm of our hearts
A chance! To go higher than the stars
START NOW!

La gloria ci unirà
Questo podio gioia portera
Vedo negli occhi dei nostri amici
L’Orgoglio e la luce
Ora la meta è vicina

Three, we wanna reach the top, top, top
Two, don’t ever want to stop, stop, stop
One, dance dance dance, to the rhythm of our hearts
A chance! To go higher than the stars
START NOW!

Tuts ensemen,
3, 2, 1,
La fanfara fa canera,
Quei ei nossa ära e tuts gaudan l’atmosfera
Emporta bu con talentaus che ti eis,
Impurtont ei che tes siemis ein aults e teis
Tut quei che fas, fas ti mo per tei,
Ti has tema che ti spiardas, ach mattei
Muossa muossa muossa tiu talent ponderau
Ei va per uss, quei mument, Start now

Sienta schittre wier
dü müesch kei angst ha,
Wier stige widr üf
Erfüllt, mit Demüet und frii

Three, we wanna reach the top, top, top
Two, don’t ever want to stop, stop, stop
One, dance dance dance, to the rhythm of our hearts
A chance! To go higher than the stars
START NOW!
