I was researching this; I am both american and fan of this song. I was Listening to a Song called 'My life is a party' by ItaloBrothers, which samples the song heavily. Now I had first assumed it was a modified translation(it's not, in case you were curious, but rather heavily inspired by Dragostea din tei). This was the start of the rabbit hole. I first looked for a video like this, instead I found an English cover. Most of the word I thought sounded right for a 1-1 Translation. that lead me to translate the title which i found to be 'Love of Lindens'. I am a plant buff, so I am aware that Lindens are a tree. With this knowledge, I returned to the Cover and notice that said trees are not mentioned. this lets me know that the cover is not 1-1, but modified. Now my search was to find a direct translation, however I kept running into the problem of every "translation" is using said modified lyrics. and that leads me to now. In closing, if you read for this long, the heart of this story is that because of all of this I realized that Romanian it a unique Language that a 20 year old at 1 in the morning in american is now interested in learning, thank to this song and my love for it.
Those masterpieces disappeared from here (West) since American pride took over all the western media... It's very hard for an European song to reach here nowadays because of this
Blows my mind how much I understand of this while reading the lyrics. I had latin class for almost four years in high school and my mother is half brazilian/half spanish so I'm quiet familiar with roman languages. Crazy how it all is derived from a language that was spoken 1000s of years ago
From Bulgarian I understand almost nothing 😢 the closest was voinic, in Romanian 'brave' yet in Bulgarian 'soldier'. From my mother tongue English, I truly got nothing. There's a few parts of Italian in there that are familiar, as you said the Latin roots.
I think this song is about relating the shining disco ball lamps to the glittering sunlight penetrating among the leaves of the linden tree. Two men came to a masquerade party dance/ball, an outlaw and a gentleman, each introducing themselves to a beautiful woman who covered her eyes with the masquerade mask. She refused to dance with any one of them, and they keep chasing her back in the ball, and hence the chorus: “You want to leave, but you don’t take me with you, you don’t take me, you don’t take me with you,”. Linden trees have been a symbol of love back in Romania and Germany. This song is about love at a first sight. And also unanswered love.
Thank you so much for posting this. This is a really close translation and I get that MrSpinnah is the owner but his account just got removed. I glad that this video with translation still exists
I knew something was wrong when I kept listening to this song, but it didn’t feel like the same one I heard as a child, so I kept searching the internet and found out I was listening to the version with Rihanna, as it connect with my memories. Man, the Rihanna version was my childhood, but at the same time, I feel robbed of it for not being able to listen to the original version.
I was just 6 years old when I started hearing this on the radio - I don't speak the language but the Song is and will be an alltime favorite of mine. Got sum nice sounds there boy
Would you believe that this is the 5th time ever hearing this song for me and somehow singing all the lyrics correctly? Well I don't care if you do or not because thats what happened!
Finally after years someone replies to my question and I can finally find this song that I heard everywhere Edit: Bruh, I never knew it was a love song, sick.
I was like 12 years old when this song came out, it was playing everywhere, everyone loved it, at least here in Slovakia. I have many good memories from that time.
@@kendryckplayz5825 wow. I didn't know that it was somewhat tied to Slavic. Though my favorite language is Latin. Second is German/Deutsch, then Romanian. To be honest, learning German is easier, than learning French. I took French for two years, still needs improvement. People say that if you know one Romance language, then learning another will be easy, not for me, I guess. Obviously, English is based off of Germanic structure. Though in reality, English (at least American English), derives from all sorts of languages.
ive loved this song all my life. can a romanian person here tell me what their country thinks of the song? is it considered a good song or is it considered a silly little meme over there? i think its so great and iconic i hope its not considered annoying over there
IIRC Romanian (the language of the song) is practically the closest language in modern day to the Vulgar Latin. I wanna say it’s because the regions that became modern-day Romania were far enough away from Constantinople to survive the Fall of the Byzantine Empire, so the language simply evolved on its own with little to no outside interference.
My friends know this song but dont know the lyrics and its always annoying for me to hear them sing without knowing what it means and the lyrics. imma show this video to them because my old best friend didnt belive me because i couldnt really translate
Linden is one of three English names for the tree genus Tilia (also known as lime and basswood). Several of the common names for species within the genus Tilia have "linden" in their names. It is typical of temperate regions, with well-marked seasons. For Germans, linden trees were sacred trees with magical powers that protected warriors. Got this from Wikipedia :P
ya sabía la traducción - la traduzione la sapevo giâ - ich habe schon die Übersetzung gewusst - Dragostea din tei was part of my life since I first heard it about 20 years ago - great song - ne vorbim romaneste, putim - samo malo - more Serbocroatian than Romanian indeed, I learned it a bit.

Oh wow ... I used to hear this song but I didn't know it's a Romanian song ... Yay just so glad it's translated in English 😳😍
Huh Ma-ia-hii doesn't mean anything, but everybody spells it the same?
I think Maia is the name of the woman this song is about
@@jax99888 nah, it doesn't really go that deep, lmao. just a catchy little tune i guess, cause ma-ia-hii doesn't mean anything in romanian either
Cherry Lips okie dokie, in school our class used to think that it was a song about some Maia 😂
Has no meaning in Romanian either.
I listened for 8 years to this song and only now I look at the translation. Damn
Best song ever.
Well, it's still ok, but I wouldn't say best past me
I-I sort of want to learn Romanian now

I love the way they sang it. Cute song🥰
Dragostea din tei translated to English means “Love of the Lindens”
Not "of the" more like "from the".
Found this during lockdown
The song or translation?
Finally after years someone replies to my question and I can finally find this song that I heard everywhere
Edit: Bruh, I never knew it was a love song, sick.
What did you think was about?

I'll never forget this masterpiece 💖
after 14 years all lf you still listen to this: ommggggg this is sooo nostalgiccc
Can someone explain to me?
Is it Romanian or Moldovian?
Both Romania and Moldova speak Romanian.
This is from Moldova. It is in Romanian Language.
Beautiful song
I like this song when I first heard it in 2004..even my son like this song now..
This should be the European national anthem
WEUX awesome 👍👍 I good like it
The soundtrack of an advertisement called "lazada"
Greatest thing to have come out of Romania
Yep
I literally had no idea what the language was till I read the comments
The thing is, now knowing the lyrics the Song hits even harder
Imagine if O-Zone (Moldova) perform at the Eurovision during 2000s
I feel like I have a spiritual bond to this song

It's a Romance language, in the same family as Spanish, French, and Italian.

Am i correct in thinking an 'I' is pronounced as 'Y'?
Unless its 'ii' apparently
A linden tree has heart shaped leaves and is symbolic of many positive things.
