“Dragostea din tei” is a 2004 summer hit by Moldovan band O-Zone. The song became known throughout Europe and was written by Dan Bălan, O-Zone's lead singer, in Romanian. The title means something like “love of the linden trees”.

The song is about a telephone conversation in which the singer, who refers to himself as a “haiduc,” a heroic outlaw or freedom fighter in Romanian folklore, expresses his feelings of love and longing.

The catchy chorus has emphatically contributed to its worldwide popularity. Despite the upbeat melody, the lyrics are about love, separation, and the joy of retrieving fond memories.
