Music video "Dragostea din tei" on YouTube
"Dragostea din tei" ( pronounced [ˈdraɡoste̯a din ˈtej] ; Romanian: "The Love from the Linden Tree") is a song recorded by Moldovan group O-Zone, released in Romania around June 2003 by Media Services as the lead single from their third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003). It was written by the band's founder Dan Balan and produced by Bogdan Popoiag [ro]. A 1980s-inspired track blending dance-pop, Eurodance, Eurodisco, Europop and synth-pop, "Dragostea din tei" is performed in Romanian. According to Balan, the lyrics reference sexual encounters beneath trees, although critics have alternatively interpreted them as nonsensical or depicting a phone conversation with a romantic interest. The song incorporates humorous elements and is particularly noted for its prominent yodeling motif.
