The Chess Olympiad 2024 will have an official song. This is Rose May and Raul – Trojan war. It inherits the Chess Olympiad 2022 Anthem | FT. Hon Chief Minister MK Stalin aka Welcome to Chennay, and is yet another musical addition to chess.
Throwback: Juga Di Prima sings at Candidates 2022 opening
This is a modern song with elements of pop and drum and bass, and its dynamic character evokes the excitement of chess games. Rose May and Raul’s song also has a video clip. With a special visual character and riveting storytelling, the clip, just like the song, features motifs of chess and speaks about love and strategy.
Rose May’s debut as a singer-songwriter was in the autumn of 2023, when, along with BÖBE, P.Y.F.U., Brenka and others, she was featured on Toldyuuso’s album, SESSION_01. Her first album came out in 2023. Raul rose to fame in 2011, when he created a number of songs and clips with Tamás Horváth, which have become immensely popular since.
Chess Olympiad 2024 official song lyrics
Verse 1:
And I go on and on again
Checkmate now your heart is breaking
Keep your eyes on the board
Leave your mind out the door
‘Cause you play with a toy
Like a Trojan horse babe
Veszélyben a korona, de nem félek,
Inkább ellépek, ne higgyetek gyengének,
Gátat állítok gyorsan a tervének,
Itt van a csapatom, bármit megtennének.
pre-chorus:
Heat it up
Now you’re next up babe
Let me see
How you keep up with me
Want to be yeah the one to win me
Let me see you turn it on
chorus:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Do you want a little bit more?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is it something that you’re hoping for?
How you meet all my expectations
What you need is a strong sensation
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s start a Trojan war
Verse 2:
Yeah we could be your enemies
One step now you’re dead to me
It’s an art nothing here to see
What I take is what you give for free
Be careful when you play with me
I’d go blind baby just for thee
It’s your move, yeah you V.I.P.
Step back if you want to a see
pre-chorus:
Heat it up
Now you’re next up babe
Let me see
How you keep up with me
Want to be yeah the one to win me

Do you want a little bit more?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is it something that you’re hoping for?
How you meet all my expectations
What you need is a strong sensation
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s start a Trojan war
post-chorus:
war-war-war-war-war-war
A kezed is beleremeg,
Ahogy a king-gel szeletelek,
A gyaloggal menetelek,
És mindenkit leszerelek.
Válts taktikat, ha nem tudsz bukni,
Hol támadok, nem fogod tudni,
Egy esélyed van most csak futni,
Nincs kegyelem, nem fogsz alkudni.
chorus:
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Do you want a little bit more?
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Is it something that you’re hoping for?
How you meet all my expectations
What you need is a strong sensation
Oh oh oh oh oh oh
Let’s start a Trojan war
