Will "O-Zone, Dragostea din tei" be France's top song this summer?
O-Zone, a boy's band from Romania has been number one in Italy a few months ago.
While this is not the kind of music I listen to, I must admit that the video-clip made my day. When I first saw it, I enjoyed seeing the band singing on the wing of an airplane in flight! Check it out at (free streaming):
A transcript of the original lyrics as well as a French translation can be found at https://www.lacoccinelle.net/traduction-chanson-2310-.html.
The band did appear a month ago on CAUET's popular show and CAUET himself made a spoof of this song called “Argent - Argent“ (Money Money). You can listen to a short clip by clicking here. It seems that we will ear both songs a lot this summer ...

There are a lot of other better Romanian songs which are simply not available in Europe/Worldwide. They should be because O-zone is not the best in Romanian music, but they aren't because, well, I don't know the reasons.
Also, Dragostea din tei is as old as almost 1 year already. I'm very bored of it. They (O-zone) have release new songs since then, and also successful, such as Numai tu, or De ce plang chitarele! :-)
But other music bands are/were even better (in my opinion). In the same area: pop/dance. Examples: ASIA, Class, Demmo, Etno, Voltaj.
I know because I am from Romania (currently, temporarily in Switzerland involved in a .NET project). - Anonymous

This is an odd question, but what is the significance of the Linden tree in Romania?
It seems odd to me that a tree (one of the lime family) should turn up in a pop song and I am curious as to what if any significance the tree has in Romania, so far I have failed to find and reference in any ethnobotanical texts to explain this. - Anonymous

Thanks Rodica, will look out for the poet you have mentioned.
Did also find a reference that suggested linden trees were planted in gardens to ward off bad luck and evil spirits, have you heard of this before? - Anonymous

"their seems to be 2 different groups singing this song Haiducii and O-zone...can someone explain this to me?? "
Yes I can explain. Hiducii are Romanians wich they stole O-Zone's song, Haiducii should be embarasst, i know people translate other people's songs in other laguages, but to sing in the same laguage the same song? what's the point? Or meybe Haiducii think they are singing better O-Zone's song? NO! the point is Romanians don't like that Moldovians have a song wich is top hit and they copied the song to make people confused (who's really this song is? Haiducii shouln't do so because it's ebarassing. UUUUUUUUUUUUUU - Anonymous

the song was written by Dan Balan (OZONE) but as I know they didn't make troubles to Haiducii. In a way haiducii "helped" Ozone to "spread" the song, but of corse they shouldn't sing somebody's else song without permission. - Anonymous
