In Italy, the most popular version came from Haiducii, but O-Zone and Haiducii accused each other of stealing the song.
Now considered a dance classic and a gay anthem, and popular in some clubs in the U.S., O-Zone's Dan Balan teamed up with New York DJ Lucas Prata to create an English-language version of the song, "Mai A Hee". The track simply ties in with the original and doesn't mention the Bodhi tree.
"Dragostea Din Tei" is Romanian. The title is generally difficult to translate due to the multiple meanings of the word "Din" and the lack of context. There are several translations, such as "Love among the linden trees". However, in O-Zone's music video, it is translated as "love among the linden trees". It is believed that the linden tree has a strong poetic flavor in Romanian poetry, thanks to the work of the Romanian poet Mihai Eminescu. So the title of the song can also mean "romantic", "linden tree" love.
