Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Ma-ia-hii, ma-ia-huu
Ma-ia-hoo, ma-ia-haa
Alo, salut, sunt eu un haiduc
Si te rog iubirea mea primeste fericirea
Alo, alo, sunt eu, Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Te sun sa-ti spun ce simt acum
Alo, iubirea mea sunt eu fericirea
Alo, alo, sunt iarasi eu, Picasso
Ti-am dat beep si sunt voinic
Dar sa stii nu-ti cer nimic
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei
Mi-amintesc de ochii tai
Vrei sa pleci dar nu ma nu ma iei
Nu ma nu ma iei, nu ma nu ma nu ma iei
Chipul tau si dragostea din tei

The lyrics to O-Zone's song "Dragostea Din Tei" (also known as "Numa Numa" due to the popularity of the internet video featuring the song) are primarily in Romanian and it is difficult to translate the words directly into English as they are mostly nonsensical. Instead, the song is more about the melody and feeling it conveys. The chorus repeats the phrase "Vrei să pleci dar nu mă, nu mă iei" which loosely translates to "You want to leave but you don't take me." The rest of the verses are essentially about the singer professing his love and happiness to his significant other.
Beyond the lyrics, the song is known for its catchy beat and upbeat melody. It was released in 2003 and quickly became a hit in Europe, particularly in Romania, Italy, and Spain. Its popularity in the US was largely due to the aforementioned "Numa Numa" video which went viral in 2004. The video featured a young man dancing and lip-syncing to the song and was viewed millions of times on websites like YouTube.
