Moni ei tiennyt, mitä kappaleessa laulettiin. Ei, vaikka siitä tehtiin maailmalla noin 200 versiota ainakin 14 eri kielellä. Suomessa Frederik levytti kappaleen nimellä Kumimies. Vaikutelma on taitava: sanoitukset tuntuvat kahjoilta, samalla tavalla kuin alkuteksti suomalaiseen korvaan. Haloo, faija? Kuka? Ai Haiduk? Sä numeroon mun soitit etkä Maijan, tajuutsä?! Haloo, haloo? Mitä teet, pajatsoni tyhjennät! Pikku-Maijaa et saa Haiduk enää faijaa!

Dragostea din teissä on kuitenkin paljon enemmän tolkkua kuin iso yleisö on luullut. Vastoin yleistä käsitystä kappaleen sanoitus ei ole siansaksaa vaan romaniaa. Se kuuluu romaanisiin kieliin ja on läheistä sukua vaikkapa italialle ja latinalle. Esimerkiksi Frederikin kappaleessaan useaan kertaan mainitsema haiduc määritellään Marilena Aldean, Matti Koskelon ja Lauri Lindgrenin romania–suomi-sanakirjassa lainsuojattomaksi. Haiduc kuullaan alkuperäisen kappaleessa ensisäkeistössä: Alo, salut, sunt eu, un haiduc. Myös Dragostea din tein kertosäkeestä on löydettävissä tukku merkityksiä. Romaniaksi se kuuluu näin:
Vrei să pleci Dar nu mă nu mă ei Nu mă nu mă iei Nu mă nu mă nu mă iei Chipul tău și dragostea din tei Îmi amintesc de ochii tăi Sisällöltään Dragostea din tein kertosäe on silkkaa Ultra Brata: se on eräänlainen moldovalaisversio vuonna 1997 ilmestyneestä Sinä lähdit pois -kappaleesta, jossa muistellaan parvekkeelta nähtyä loittonevaa selkää. O-Zonen versiossa vesilammikot vaihtuvat puihin. Kertosäkeen voisi kääntää suomeksi vaikkapa näin: Haluat mennä Muttet ota minua mukaasi Ei, et ota minua Ei, ei, et ota minua Kasvos sun ja rakkaus lehmusten Silmiäs yhä muistelen Lopussa mainittu lehmusten rakkaus eli se kuuluisa dragostea din tei on sittemmin tulkittu seksiksi puiden katveessa. Vanhojen lehtijuttujen mukaan selityksen olisi antanut itse Dan Bălan, yksi O-Zone-yhtyeen kolmesta jäsenestä ja sen lauluntekijä.
---
Alkuperäistä kommenttia ei kuitenkaan löydy internetistä, joten ei ole varmaa, onko biisinkirjoittaja sanonut näin. ”Annan sinulle kaiken rakkauden näistä puista. Sitä kappaleen nimi tarkoittaa”, Bălan kuvailee vanhassa, yhtyeen ranskalaismedialle antamassa televisiohaastattelussa.
---
Mutta on kappaleessa käsittämättömyyksiä romaniaksikin. Ma-i-a hi, ma-ia hu, ma-i-a ho, ma-i-a ha-ha ei tarkoita mitään silläkään – tai millään muullakaan – kielellä. Syvemmän merkityksen hakeminen tekstistä voikin olla turhaa. ”Ehkä on ihan hyvä, että ihmiset eivät ymmärtäneet, mitä he lauloivat mukana. En voi sanoa, että sanoitukset olisivat olleet, no, kaikkein syvällisimpiä”, nauroi kolmikon jäsen Arsenie Todiraș romanialaisessa televisiohaastattelussa vuonna 2022.

Hi there! Are random silly lil questions ok? If so, can I ask about your thoughts on the Romanian language? How easy a time would you think you'd have learning it? Thanks so much!
Honestly, if fascinates me. Check out this history regarding its orthography. Wild! It fascinates me that it's the one Romance language to retain the neuter, and if you look only the spellings of words, it sure seems like you should know how to pronounce it, and then you hear O-Zone pronounce "Dragostea Din Tei" and realize that, nah, they've taken some real liberties over the centuries.
So, yeah, I'd love to learn Romanian some day. It seems fun. :)

Now now, I don't "hate" genres but also there are enough genres I don't listen to - indeed I'm not the "I listen to any kinds of music" type. So for something special from a genre I don't otherwise do, here's Crazy Loop with Famikon! Fyi, it's one of the O-Zone guys, might be some of you heard of that band...

For a song to remind me of home... it has to be a nostalgic one right? So here's this old Romanian prog rock band, heavily influenced by Yes and Jethro Tull as they loved themselves to underline, called Sfinx, with their short Epilogue from an album I must have played hundreds of times:

Happy 20th birthday to the Numa Numa video.
The start of meme culture may not have been a blessing. But it was certainly...a thing that happened.

Alo, salut, sunt eu un haiduc
Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea
Alo, alo, sunt eu, Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Te sun sa-ti spun ce simt acum
Alo, iubirea mea sunt eu fericirea
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa

In an unfortunate pattern among international musicians, the nuances behind their more emotionally moving lyrics are often dumbed down or simplified when these songs are translated to English. Two prominent examples are Jeff Satur's "Dum Dum" and O-Zone's "Dragostea Din-Tei". Why is this such a common occurrence, and who makes these translation decisions in the long run? In this essay I will...

Sometimes I wish I could go back to that summer when O-Zone took Europe by storm with their album and Dragostea Din Tei was playing everywhere you went.
