Outlaw Native
What does this Romanian song mean?
Though I am a few years behind, O-Zone's offerings really do it for me -- I think the gutteral languages have it ALL OVER the romance ones.
I've looked up translations of "Dragostea Din Tei", and I cannot understand what is going on, here. Is any native or transplanted native speaker able to assist me in figuring out idiom for Romania? Perhaps the translation that I've found is just an imperfect one; I see he's calling and trying to convince a woman of something, but... outlaw? Linden trees? That really bizarre and repetitive third verse?
Are these just artistic license, or do my Western ears simply not comprehend the magnitude? Any help in determining the meaning of this song is appreciated!

Did this translation a while a go for someone who wanted them translated:
Ma-ia hii
Ma-ia huu
Ma-ia hoo
Ma-ia haha (x4)
These are interjections so they can't be translated. It's like shouting hurraaaay in English
Hello, Hi, it's me, an outlaw
And my love, please receive happiness.
Hello, Hello, it's me, Picasso
I gave you a beep, and I'm sturdy
But I want you to know, I ask nothing from you
You want to leave but you don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you
(you) don;t take me with you, (you) don;t take me (you) don't take me with you
Your face and the love from the lime tree
Make me remember your eyes (x2)
(yes, this is the chorus with nu mă, nu mă... it's so long cause this is how it's in English, in Romanian as you can see and you have heard is much shorter and nicer)
I call to tell you how I feel now
Hello, my love it's me, happiness
Hello, Hello; it's me again.. Picasso
I gave you a beep, and I'm sturdy
But I want you to know, I ask nothing from you
You want to leave but you don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you
(you) don;t take me with you, (you) don;t take me (you) don't take me with you
Your face and the love from the lime tree
Make me remember your eyes (x2)
Ma-ia hii
Ma-ia huu
Ma-ia hoo
Ma-ia haha (x4)
You want to leave but you don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you, (you) don't take me with you
(you) don;t take me with you, (you) don;t take me (you) don't take me with you
Your face and the love from the lime tree
Make me remember your eyes (x2)
This is the exact correct translation, I didn't use an external source for it; it's done by hand as I'm a Romanian native so you can trust it. Cause of the popularity of the song most lyrics in Romanian are written by non natives and they are incorrect so the translations(already done by amateurs) are even more bad.
The song is Called Dragostea din tei = The love from the Lime Tree
The band was called O-Zone, being a word game as you can see. The O zone, as in the zone O and also as in ozone lair.
