Opening ceremony. It includes English lirycs too. I have a hope, that someone help me to parse English lirycs:



I can't parse english lyrics between 1.34 and 3.01. Could anyone help me?
I understood the next words only:

When the struggle besides ...
And..........................
............who the strongest
And let's(?)............sport
.....sportsmen stand together
.............................
Our friendship last forever
Our friendship with Big Sport

Chorus:
All we .................... it speaks
.....................................
Let us be(?).........................
Welcome to, welcome to, to Big Sport!


Closing ceremony. Danger! It may call tears when миша flies up to the sky.Crying or Very sad

I couldn't make out most of the English lyrics, but here's my best guess. I'm the least sure about the words in the square brackets.

When the struggle besides even [___est?]
And the [force/war/board] must be restored
As the battle for the strongest
And let’s call it, call it sport.
Let the sportsmen stand together,
[Play your [must be] __ thought/short/sure]
Our friendship lasts forever.
Our friendship means Big Sport.

All we have is [team/work]
And the [love/work/word] of our [government/gratitude]
Let us [leave/live] with the thought
Welcome to, welcome to
To Big Sport!

Are there any other recordings of this song with English lyrics? Maybe listening to another performance would clear something up.

ok11! A lot of thanks!

After yours corrections I've got the next version:

When the struggle besides even [___est?]
And the force must be restored
As the battle for the strongest
And let’s call it, call it sport.
Let the sportsmen stand together,
[Play your [...] must be [not short]
Our friendship lasts forever.
Our friendship means Big Sport.

All we have is [team]
And the [work/word] of our gratitude
Let us live with the thought
Welcome to, welcome to
To Big Sport!

I can't hear "team" in the chorus. Maybe there there is another word.

Besides this video, there is MP3:

But both they sound equally I think.
