This was one of my favorite songs when I was younger. I memorized it by heart. Since I know Romanian, I translated it without the dictionary or whatever. Some of the lyrics might be wrong, so please say so if you spot any. Thank you!
Dragonstea Din Tei ( Love of the Linden Trees)
Ma-ia-hii
ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-haha (3x)
Alo, Salut, sunt ea, un haiduc
(Hello, Greetings, it's me, an outlaw)
Si ta rog, iubirea mea, prismeste fericirea
(So I ask you, my love, to accept happiness)
Alo, alo, sunt ea, Picasso
(Hello, hello, it's me, Picasso)
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt vonic
( I send *sent* you a beep, and I am brave)
Dar sa stii nuty cer nimic
(But you should know that I'm not asking everything from you)
Chorus:
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Nu ma, nu ma iei,
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai
(And I remember your eyes)
Chorus:
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai
(And I remember your eyes)
Te sun, sa-ti spun, ce simt acum
(I call you to tell you what I feel right now)
Alo, iubirea mea, sunt ea, fericirea
(Hello, my love, it's me your happiness)
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso
(Hello, hello, it's me again, Picasso)
Ti-am dat beep, si sunt vonic
(I send *sent* you a beep, and I am brave)
Dar sa stii nuty cer nimic
(But you should know that I'm not asking everything from you)
Chorus:
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai
(And I remember your eyes)
Chorus:
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai
(And I remember your eyes)
Ma-ia-hii
ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-haha (4x)
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai
(And I remember your eyes)
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma iei, nu ma, nu ma, nu ma iei
(You want to leave but you don't want, don't want to take me, don't want, don't
want to take me, don't want, don't want, don't want to take me)
Chipul tau si dragonstea din tei
(Your face and the love of the linden trees.)
Mi-aminterc de ochi tai

P.S. If your wondering if this took a while, it took a long time deciphering the English part. Thanks!
