Despre tine number one hit[1]
- band made up of Dan Balan, Radu Sirbu and Arsenie Todoras[2]
- successes with "Numai tu" and "Despre tine"[2]
- Responsabili de succes sunt Dan Balan, Radu Alexei Sarbu si Arsenie Todieras. Povestea a inceput in 1999, in Republica Moldova (Chisinau). A fost inceputul pentru ceea ce avea sa devina cea mai buna performanta inregistrata vreodata de o trupa si o piesa romaneasca[3]
- certati inainte de piesa[4]
- O-Zone had plans to dismember and recorded separate versions of Dragostea din tei
- but were convinced by Cat Music to reunite after Haiducii's version gained recognition[5]
- allegedly author rights were given up by the members over a Mcdonalds menu before the success.[6]
A CD of "Dragostea din tei" was first released in Romania in 2003 by Cat Music, also containing the music videos of O-Zone's previous singles "Numai tu" (2002) and "Despre tine" (2002).[7][2] The label went on to issue a remix album on 3 June 2003 for digital download.[8] Throughout 2004, "Dragostea din tei" was physically released in several other countries, including France,[9] Germany,[10] Italy,[11] the Netherlands,[12] Spain,[13] the United Kingdom and the United States.[14][15] In the latter territory, Ultra Records issued two 12-inch vinyls that included "Ma Ya Hi", an English language-version of "Dragostea din tei" featuring American musician Lucas Prata, which only credits Dan Balan as the lead artist.[15][16] The original Romanian version was digitally released in the United States on 22 June 2004 by Media Services, under the name of "Mai Ai Hee (Dragostea din tei)".[17] In 2005, a CD of "Dragostea din tei" was issued in Japan by Avex Trax, titled "恋のマイアヒ" ("Koi No Maiahi").[18]
"Dragostea din tei" was included on O-Zone's third studio album DiscO-Zone (2003).[2][19] As part of the 2004 international re-release of "Despre tine", "Dragostea din tei" was featured as the B-side on CDs released in selected regions.[20]
- Their recording was released by local indie Media Services and then licensed internationally to Italian dance specialist Time, which in turn has licensed it to various companies around Europe, including Jive in the United Kingdom, Island in Germany and Happy Music in France[21]
- Au fost nevoiti sa grabeasca lansarea in Europa din cauza incidentului cu Haiducii" (n.n. - cei care si-au atribuit, in Italia, piesa "Dragostea din tei")[3]
- exists at least from July 2003[22]
- August 2003: Balan registered "Dragostea din Tei" at UCMR-ADA (Uniunea Compozitorilor si Muzicologilor din Romania - Asociatia Drepturilor de Autor)[23]
- O-Zone managed by Media Services in Romania
- For abroad management, O-Zone wanted to sing a deal with Hit Mania in UK before settling on Italian Time Records
- Ulterior s-a aflat ca Hit Mania este o filiala a casei de discuri din Italia, Universo, cea care a lansat piesa "Dragostea din tei", interpretata de Paula Mitrache. Toate indiciile conduc la ideea unui complot intre impresarul Ladin si Universo, scopul fiind blocarea intrarii pe piata italiana a celor de la O-Zone, deoarece, in cazul semnarii unui acord, Dan Balan s-ar fi aflat sub contract cu aceeasi casa de discuri cu Paula Mitrache[24]
- In Franta, melodia moldovenilor este comercializata din 14 aprilie si a beneficiat de o campanie publicitara importanta: spoturi publicitare pe TF1 si M6, promovare radio la NRJ, Fun Radio si Europe 2[25]
- Marul discordiei a fost lipsa loialitatii tocmai din partea liderului trupei, Dan Balan. Dupa cum se stie, acesta a plecat in Statele Unite, spunand ca este in vacanta. In schimb, el a concertat pe cont propriu, alaturi de Lucas Prata, tradandu-si colegii. Suparati pe minciuna colegului lor, Arsenie si Radu nu vor sa mai cante alaturi de Dan[26]
- O-Zone signed with Time for almost 100,000 euros
- multiple labels from Italy wanted O-Zone after Haiducii's version became popular[27]
- Lucas Prata version recorded in Milan
- Prata helped with the English translation
- Oricum, pana la aflarea deznodamantului acestui act de haiducie muzicala, despre care nu stim daca Radu si Arsenie au aflat
- Hello, Salut, It*s me your Duc-, dupa care continua astfel – -And I made something that*s real/ To show you how I feel/Hello, Hello, It*s me Picasso/I will paint my words of love/With your name of every wall
- Interesant este ca haiducul se transforma in duce – nu stim daca s-au gandit la traditiile britanice sau doar a sunat bine in vers – si ca, printr-o conjunctura nefericita, traducerea te duce cu gandul la zicala: -Numele prostilor pe toate gardurile!-[28]
- Universal Music Germany signed O-Zone because Haiducii lacked "Ostflair"[29]
"Dragostea din tei" is a 1980s-inspired[30] dance-pop,[2] Eurodisco,[31] and Europop song,[32][33] which features what Rolling Stone Australia described as "robotic stop-start rhythms" in its instrumentation.[34] The song is set in the key of A minor and has a tempo of 130 beats per minute (BPM).[35]
- recorded and mastered by Bogdan Popoiag
- Music & Text by Bogdan Popoiag
- Orchestration by Bogdan Popoiag
- Recorded at MOF Studios in April 2003[36]
- distinctive yodeling vocal line[21]
- Novelty song[37]
- Zeitgleich streiten die Medien darum, ob "Dragostea Din Tei" übersetzt nun "Lindenblüten-Liebe" (sprichwörtlich für "eingebildete Liebe") oder "Liebe unter Lindenbäumen" heißt[38]
- Der Song, in dem sich die Jungs mal als Robin Hood, dann selbstbewusst als Picasso bezeichnen[2]
- Die Moldawier nennen ihre Musik "Funny Pop"[39][2]
- and the phonetic phrase "Numa numa yay."[31]
- colloquially known as “the Numa Numa song”
- Dan Bălan has hinted that the Romanian smash is about losing his virginity “under the linden trees.”[34]
- Tempering the less-pronounceable Romanian lyrics with memorable ‘mai-ai-hii‘ nonsense helped “Dragostea Din Tei” conquer Europe in 2004[34]
- Dass der Text in Westeuropa kaum verstanden wird, stört niemanden. Melodie und Rhythmus sind unkompliziert - und perfekt zum Mittanzen und Mitstampfen geeignet[40]
- Und worüber singen O-Zone und Haiducii genau? Schwer zu sagen! Experten können keinen tieferen Sinn entdecken. "Dragostea Din Tei" heißt zwar "Liebe aus dem Lindenbaum" - und könnte sich auf eine rumänische Redewendung für "eingebildete Liebe" beziehen. Dan Balan behauptet aber, der Song handle schlicht von Sex unter Bäumen . . .[40]
- a translation into English reveals they’re either nonsense, or – according to one imaginative online interpretation – about ejaculation[32]
- The Numa Numa song that started the whole fad is the kind of thing Eurotrash would regard as manna from heaven: a Moldovan Europop track called Dragostea din tei, by O-Zone.[32]
- O-Zone’s dizzy yodeling[41]
- "Ma-ia-hii, Ma-ia-huu, Ma-ia-hoo, Ma-ia-haha"[42]
- "Vrei să pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei, nu mă, nu mă iei, nu mă, nu mă, nu mă iei. Chipul tău și dragostea din tei mi-amintesc de ochii tăi."
- "Alo, salut!"[43]
- Summer anthem
- What unites most of them through the last couple of decades is that they’re energetic and at least sound upbeat, even when they’re not. Also crucial: give summer revelers something catchy, no matter how mindless, to sing along with.
- “Ma-ia hii! Ma-ia huu! Ma-ia hoo! Ma-ia haha.” Sung in falsetto
- it leaps all language barriers in a single bound and allows everyone to feel like a star[44]
- ,,Alo, sunt eu, Picasso/ Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic/ Dar sa stii, nu-ti cer nimic,,[22]
- Verbindung von folkloristischen und internationalen Sounds soll es sein - Dan von O-Zone nimmt für sich einen Gesang in Anspruch, der seinen Charme aus alten rumänischen Volksliedern bezieht
- Trash Pop[29]
- Eigentlich nämlich, behaupten Fans in Rumänien, handele es sich bei "Dragostea Din Tei" um die Melodie eines Volksliedes, versehen nur mit einem neuen Text[45]
- Der Balkan und die ehemaligen Sowjetrepubliken erobern Europa - jedenfalls musikalisch. Kurz nachdem die wilde Ruslana aus der Ukraine mit ihren "Wild Dances" den Grand Prix Eurovision gewann, stürmte "Dragostea Din Tei" die Charts in Europa.[40]
- It wobbles unsteadily along the line that separates catchy from infuriating[32]
- an extremely cheesy Romanian-language dance-pop tune,
- The weirdly addictive song[41]
- The “Dragostea Din Tei” video featured the hairgelled-up Euro-dudes of O-Zone dancing on a plane’s wing while its engines turned into giant CGI speakers.[41]
- "anspruchslos", Dj Ötzi, "simpler Unterhaltungsmusik"[46]
- 2023 study conducted by Compare the Market Australia for the most distracting driving songs: Taking the top spot with a whopping distraction score of 78.76%; based on BPM, energy score, danceability, and loudness[47]
- compared coexisting versions to Los del Rio and Los del Mar[25]
- Lionel Cossin of Pure Charts compared to Chihuahua of DJ Bobo[25]
- stilul componistic este pueril şi foarte previzibil, ca alcătuire armonică şi melodică. Piesele nu-ţi rezervă surprize pe nici o ramură şi se adresează masei, ca intenţie şi concepţie. Adică, unui public ascultător de muzică în maşină sau la locul de muncă, indiferent de limba pe care o vorbeşte. Fără să necesite o analiză, vocile celor trei sunt firave, deloc tehnice şi studiate. Dar nici că le trebuie mai mult![30]
- Dupa ce au lansat sintagme celebre, in ton cu folclorul imbogatit de pe urma aparitiei telefoniei mobile, ca ,,nu-mi raspunzi la SMS,,, O-Zone continua in aceeasi traditie a nonsensurilor verbale ce a consacrat grupul
- Petre Dobrescu from Libertatea criticized the lyrics for being nonsense, doar "de dragul rimei"[22]
- Cand auzi „Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso/Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic/ Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic”, te gandesti imediat la Nena (cantareata in voga in anii ’80 – n.r.), la Eurovision sau la o greseala de traducere!”[33]
- Echo - Erfolgreichste Single des Jahres National/International[48]
- Tavalugul starnit in toata lumea de succesul moldovenilor de la O-Zone a socat la inceput mai ales opinia publica din Romania care nu a inteles cum o piesa cu un text atat de ieftin a reusit sa dea peste cap toate topurile muzicale internationale[49]
- (author and label execs say this) Trend where Artists from Eastern Europe are successful in Western countries, z.B. Ruslana Eurovision, t.a.tu
- auch EU-Erweiterung augumented this trend
- Zum einen haben die früher stark abgeschotteten Länder heute die Möglichkeit, Trends direkt per MTV oder Radio zu absorbieren - was in der musikalischen Aneignung zu einem internationalen Sound führt. Zum anderen kommen die Produkte aus dem Osten über die Einwanderer aus beispielsweise Polen oder Russland schneller in die Bundesrepublik - was eine gewisse Nachfrage zur Folge hat.[29]
"Dragostea din tei" first attained commercial success in Romania, where it held the number-one position for three weeks on the Romanian Top 100 in September 2003,[50] effectively becoming the band's second chart topper after "Despre tine" earlier that year.[1] In the March of 2004, the song reached number 17 on the Italian singles chart.[51] One month later, "Dragostea din tei" debuted at number one in Spain, reclimbing to the chart's top position on two more occasions in May and June 2004.[52] In April 2004, "Dragostea din tei" further topped the French chart, holding that spot for 15 consecutive weeks.[53] It was certified diamond in the region by Syndicat national de l'édition phonographique (SNEP),[54] and amassed sales of 1,170,000 copies as of September 2014, amounting for the fourth-most in the 21st century.[55]
From June to August 2004, the song impacted several other territories. It reached number one in all DACH countries, holding that position for 14 weeks in Germany and Switzerland,[56][57] and for 13 weeks in Austria.[58] In the former, it was certified double platinum by Bundesverband Musikindustrie (BVMI).[59] In the Netherlands, the song topped the Dutch Single Top 100.[60] "Dragostea din tei" was also successful in Nordic countries, becoming a number-one hit in Norway and Denmark,[61][62] as well as peaking at numbers two and three in Finland and Sweden, respectively.[63][64] The song further topped Billboard's European Hot 100 Singles chart for 12 weeks,[65] at one point being followed by Haiducii's version at number two and "Le poulailler" by Le 6/9 at number 18.[66] "Dragostea din tei" peaked at numbers one, two and three in Ireland,[67] Scotland and the United Kingdom,[68][69] respectively, while the Unu' in the Dub Mix peaked at number nine on the radio airplay chart in the Commonwealth of Independent States (CIS).[70] The song topped the 2004 year-end charts in Austria,[71] Europe,[72] France,[73] Germany,[74] Netherlands and Switzerland, among others.[75][76]
In the United States, the Lucas Prata remix reached number 14 on Billboard's Dance/Mix Show Airplay chart at the end of August 2004, however it was not until March 2005 that the song peaked at number 16 on the Bubbling Under Hot 100, as well as at positions 69 and 72 on the Digital Song Sales and Pop 100 rankings, respectively.[77][78] It was eventually certified gold by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).[79] The original version of "Dragostea din tei" peaked at number 72 on the Japanese Oricon Singles Chart in June 2005, with the song being awarded quadruple million, platinum and gold certifications by the Recording Industry Association of Japan (RIAJ) across multiple formats.[80] As of October 2005, "Dragostea din tei" has sold in excess of eight million copies worldwide.[31] It stands as the third-most successful song of the 2000s in Germany.[81]
- 500,000 units shipped in Europe by June 2004[21]
- At one point, it was Japan's best-selling digital single with 4 mil units until 2007 "Flavor of Life" by Utada[82]
- În Franța, de exemplu, chart-ul Billboard a listat simultan cinci versiuni ale piesei „Dragostea din tei” în top 20, evidențiind un fenomen fără precedent în industria muzicală mondială. Versiunea originală a trupei O-Zone s-a clasat pe primul loc, urmată de cover-ul trupei Haiducii pe locul doi, iar alte trei coveruri ale aceleiași piese, interpretate în limba franceză, au ocupat, de asemenea, poziții în același top 20[83]

Haiducii
- Noch vor dem großen Erfolg hatte O-Zone-Frontmann Dan Balan 2003 der Bukarester Sängerin Paula Mitrache (27) eine Lizenz für seinen damaligen Album-Song überlassen - mit der Folge, dass Paula alias Haiducii fast ebenso groß herauskam[40]
- Dupa spusele celui care a compus slagarul, cantareata l-a trecut pe coperta albumului ca autor al compozitiei, pentru a se acoperi, in cazul unui scandal. Insa, el n-a fost contactat
- Paula Mitrache a inregistrat aceasta piesa la SIAE; this was an impediment in O-Zone's bid to commercialize their version in Italy
- Balan: "Nu am fost niciodata intrebat, nici de Paula Mitrache, nici de casa ei de productie, Universo, daca-mi dau acordul ca melodia sa fie interpretata de ea. Desi au scris pe coperta albumului ca muzica si textul imi apartin, ar fi trebuit sa aiba permisiunea mea printr-un act incheiat la notar
- Impreuna cu avocatul meu, am intocmit o notificare care a fost trimisa la casa de discuri Universo si artistei Paula Mitrache. Ei sustin ca legea italiana permite oricui sa faca un cover, daca se respecta intocmai linia melodica si textul originale. Noi am descoperit ca legea italiana nu permite asa ceva si nu se aplica in cazul dat, pentru ca, in primul rand, cantecul a fost inregistrat pentru prima oara in Romania si in al doilea rand Paula este cetatean roman. Conform legii romane, ceea ce a facut Paula este o infractiune"
- Noi am semnat cu o casa de productie din Italia, Time Records (distribuitor Sony Music), care va incepe razboiul in mass-media cu casa de discuri a Paulei Mitrache, Universo
- Problema cea mai stringenta este aceea ca Time Records trebuie sa convinga alte case de productie din Europa (Spania, Germania, Marea Britanie) ca originalul piesei imi apartine, iar Paula Mitrache a preluat-o doar.
- Paula ne face mari probleme pentru ca piesa a fost lansata deja si in Spania, iar unii spanioli cred ca ea detine originalul
- Daca nu va retrage piesa din circuitul muzical din Italia, suntem hotarati sa o dam in judecata", ne-a marturisit compozitorul.
- Scandalul se extinde, caci Paula Mitrache sustine ca datorita ei O-Zone a semnat contractul cu Time Records. Lucrurile nu stau tocmai asa: "Am dus tratative inca din vara anului trecut cu case de productii din Anglia, Franta si Italia. Probabil ca a aflat despre acest lucru si ne-a luat-o inainte, recurgand la tertipuri.[23]
- As of 10 March 2004, no lawsuit; Insa, cum autorul piesei primeste drepturi de autor, Dan Balan s-a imbogatit peste noapte cu ajutorul Paulei Mitrache[97]
- Haiducii vs. O-Zone; in dem jeder behauptet, er sei das Original, der jeweils andere aber nur ein Trittbrettfahrer[45]
Popoiag
- Dan Balan sued for defamamtion
- Judecatoria Sectorului 2 Bucuresti: Bogdan Popoiag of Unu needs to pay daune morale 60 milioane de lei to Dan Balan for having claimed to be the songwriter
- in realitate, Bogdan Popoiag a fost angajat de casa de discuri a trupei O-Zone, Media Services/Cat Music, pentru a realiza orchestratia piesei, iar la un an dupa lansare, in 2004, cand piesa a devenit hit international, a declansat un scandal pretinzand ca ar fi si compozitorul acesteia
- ca va dona suma incasata unui tanar care va castiga premiul pentru cea mai buna compozitie muzicala in cadrul unuia dintre concursurile organizate anul acesta in Romania.[98][99]
- Popoiag filed a lawsuit against Dan Balan and Media Services
- claims to have composed the song in March 2003
- further claims to have done the mastering
- claims only the text is Balan's, but that Popiag has only been credited as a producer on the cover[100]
- Popoiag sued in September 2004[101]
- Popiag failed to present evidence of his contribution[102]
- Popoiag played phone recordings of Dan Balan la OTV[103]

Composition
- Paula gibt dem Song jedoch den tanzbaren Schliff[38]
Haiducii's version of "Dragostea din tei" impacted the charts in several territories before the original version, including in Germany,[56][117] Italy,[51][118] Spain,[52][119] and France.[53][120] It debuted atop the Italian singles chart in January 2004, outpeaking the original.[51][118] It claimed the top position for a total of six weeks and remained within the top 10 for over four months.[51] In March 2004, Haiducii debuted and peaked at number four in Spain,[119] following which she reached numbers one and two, respectively, in Austria and France in April.[121][120] The song also reached number two in Wallonia in May 2004, being blocked from number one by the original.[122][123]
In June 2004, Haiducii reached number two in Germany—blocked by the original—and Switzerland,[117][57] as well as number four in Norway and number six in Flanders.[124][125] Throughout July, it was held back by O-Zone's version to peak atop the European Hot 100 Singles chart,[66] while also peaking at numbers four, five and seven in the Netherlands, Denmark and Hungary, respectively.[126][127][128] In Sweden, Haiducii topped the chart in August, outcharting the original.[64][129] It held the top spot for five weeks consecutive weeks and spent five months in the top ten.[129] For the year of 2004, Haiducii's version of "Dragostea din tei" ended within the top 10 of the best-performing singles in Austria,[71] Germany,[74] Italy,[130] Sweden,[131] Switzerland and Europe.[76][72] It was further awarded gold certifications in Austria,[132] Belgium,[133] France,[134] Sweden and Switzerland.[135][136] In Germany, the song stands as the 95th-most successful of the 2000s.[81]
- Geholfen hat ihr dabei der Mix von Gabry Ponte[38][40]
- Doch erst als Haiducii die dritte Single der Moldawier covert und damit in Italien auf Platz eins der Single-Charts schnellt, wird es den Jungs klar: Ihre Musik funktioniert nicht nur in Rumänien, sondern kann in ganz Europa groß rauskommen[2]
- Însă poate că succesul nu ar devenit unul istoric dacă Paula Monica Mitrache nu ar fi făcut celebră la nivel european propria variantă a piesei “Dragostea din tei” în 2004. Până atunci, cântecul respectiv a zăcut fără perspectivă pe un album al O-Zone (lansat cu un an înainte pe piața rusească și românească), fără să întâlnească succesul[137]
- Potrivit revistei Billboard, piesa "Dragostea din tei" a devenit cunoscuta pe plan international prin intermediul trupei Haiducii care a preluat-o si a transformat-o in hit, in Italia, la inceputul acestui an. Cand s-a aflat insa ca originalul nu apartinea celor de la Haiducii, casa de discuri Media Services a fost asaltata cu cereri pentru piesa originala a trupei O-Zone[138]
- Haiducii version sold 200,000 copies in the first week of release in Italy[23]
- Der Hit "Dragostea Din Tei" wurde zwar den großen Plattenfirmen angeboten, wurde jedoch abgelehnt, da sich keine vorstellen konnte, dass ein Song in rumänischer Sprache in Westeuropa erfolgreich sein könnte. Als jedoch eine kleine, unbekannte italienische Plattenfirma mit der Cover-Version ("Haiducii") in Italien die Charts stürmte, erinnerte man sich des Angebots aus Rumänien und da lief sofort die internationale Vermarktungsstrategie an[96]
- International jedoch wollte damals niemand seinen Hit hören. Das änderte sich erst, als die in Italien lebende Ex-Miss Bukarest Paula Mitrache den Song neu aufnahm[45]
- Dann wird es lange still um die Rumänin, ehe sie auf einmal 2023 im ZDF Fernsehgarten auftaucht[38]
- Ultimative Chartshow
- Top of the Pops
- 60 dai 2000
- Haiducii Sanremo musical guest on 04.03.2004[139]
Other usage
- Troppo chic
- Fire credincioasă, Paula a făcut o nouă variantă a cântecului, “Parliamo di Gesù” (“Să vorbim despre Iisus”) împreună cu pastorul Don Alessandro Cosu, cunoscut predicator catolic în Italia. Cântec pe care l-au lansat la o acțiune caritabilă patronată de Biserica Catolică și pentru care s-a filmat și un videoclip în biserică[137]

- Balan: Piesa «Dragostea din Tei» era considerată, de fapt devenise, un fel de imn al homosexualilor. Radu îl lua în braţe pe Arsenie, era ceva de senzaţie.

- Anna Meredith cover[159]
- This particular brand of oontz-oontz sugar-rush house-pop was simply nowhere near the American mainstream in 2003, but when it was presented to us in the form of a 19-year-old chair-dancing on a low-res webcam, we couldn’t resist. Back then, nobody knew how to monetize that kind of viral fame, but people would soon figure it out. In 2008, when YouTube was still finding its legs as a cultural force, T.I. and Rihanna turned a “Dragostea Din Tei” sample into a global smash.
- On that podcast, Just says, “At a certain point, I started to strategize. This fat kid singing video has gone super-viral; everyone around the world has seen it. They’re automatically gonna hear that chant, and it’s gonna be familiar to them. That was definitely a Jedi mind trick of sorts.” A day after Just Blaze made the beat, T.I. called Just, telling him that he needed a record right away. Soon enough, Just Blaze’s joke-song became the biggest hit of his career.[41]
- shares “Live Your Life” writing credits with T.I., Just Blaze, and O-Zone member Dan Bălan, the original writer of “Dragostea Din Tei.”[41]
