“Let’s carry the flame”: the Paris 2024 anthem imagined by students
(France 2)
The song “Let’s carry the flame”, the lyrics of which were partly written by students from a school in Colombes, in Hauts-de-Seine, is enjoying great success in the run-up to the Paris 2024 Olympic Games.
A heady chorus, a simple choreography, two videos seen 500,000 times on the networks: the inhabitants of Colombes (Hauts-de-Seine) have their anthem for the Paris 2024 Olympic Games. The lyrics of the song, entitled Let’s carry the flamewere partly written in a city school. “It means that the important thing is to participate”, indicates a student. The project delighted the schools of Colombes before taking off elsewhere in the country.
“We receive lots of videos and testimonials from teachers who have taken up the song, who learn it in their schools. This shows that there is a universal potential of this song, a message that speaks to everybody”says Peggy Rolland, author of Let’s carry the flame. A promising title that will set the pace for the competition.
