O-Zone first formed in 1998 by Bălan and Petru Jelihovschi, however Jelihovschi had not intended to make music his career and left after their first album, 1999's Dar, Unde Eşti ....
O-Zone is famous for the single Dragostea Din Tei, a notable summer hit which reached #1 in the singles charts of many countries during 2003 and 2004, and Number 3 in the United Kingdom. The follow-up single Despre Tine had similar success across Europe.
They enjoyed a brief resurgence in global popularity due to the online viral success of the Numa Numa Dance, featuring a previously unknown Gary Brolsma lip-synching and dancing to the first minute of the song Dragostea Din Tei.
O-Zone split up in 2005 each artist went on to make solo careers, reuniting in 2017 and 2019, but only for a few concerts.
In 2008, Dragostea Din Tei was sampled by Just Blaze and Canei Finch for the T.I. single Live Your Life.
De ce plang chitarele
O-Zone Lyrics
Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴ Line by Line Meaning ↴
Le-au ranit amintirile,
Tu iubire spune-le,
Ce-a fost nu s-a pierdut!
De ce plang chitarele
Stiu doar felinarele
Strunele amarele
Merg pe strada fetele,
Fetele cochetele
Ma privesc si-mi striga-n urma
Hei! Nu-mi raspunzi la SMS...
Pe strazi pluteste doar dragostea
Noaptea-i amara fara ea
Ea cheama, cheama pe altcineva
Plange chitara mea...
Oooo, stii de ce plang chitarele?
Le-au ranit amintirile
Tu, iubire, spunele
Ce-a fost nu s-a pierdut!
Plang in noapte strunele,
Strunele nebunele
Tu, iubire, spune-le
Ce-a fost nu s-a pierdut!
De ce plang chitarele
Cand rasare soarele?
Canta pasarelele
Despre durerea mea.
The song De ce plang chitarele by O-Zone is a melancholic tune asking why guitars cry, and claiming that it's because they've been hurt by memories. The lyrics then call out to the singer's lost love to tell them that what has been was not lost, and to acknowledge that the guitars may have lost something on their own. The song speaks of the pain of not having someone to love and to hold, and even the streetlights seem to know the sorrow that the guitars feel.
The vocalist then speaks of how love permeates the streets and how the night is bitter without his love, and how his guitar cries and calls for someone else because his love is gone. The melody repeats, questioning once more why the guitars cry and what the strings have lost, while the song ends by asking why they cry when the sun rises and the birds sing about the singer's pain.
The lyrics speak of loss and the pain of separation, urging the listener not to forget that what was once there was not lost entirely, and that love finds a way to keep lost things alive even in the humblest of things like a weeping guitar. The song is emotional and resonates with anyone who has endured a loss or separation.

Oh, do you know why the guitars weep?

Accurate true to text translation by a real romanian in English:
Wanna know why the guitars cry
The memories did hurt them
You my love tell them
What it was wasn’t lost.
Why do only guitars cry?
Only the lampposts know
Bitter strings
What they’ve lost?
On the streets walk the girls
The chich girls
They watch me and look me from the back
Hei! You don’t answer my SMS!
On the streets only the love floats
The night is bitter without it
She calls, calls someone else,
My guitar’s crying
Wanna know why the guitars cry?
The memories did hurt them
You, my love, tell them
What it was wasn’t lost
Strings are crying the night
The crazy strings
You my love, tell them
What it was wasn’t lost
Wanna know why the guitars cry
When the sun is rising?
The birds sing
Of my pain.

"O-Zone's dance-pop music consisted of beats and catchy lyrics, able to surpass any language barrier. As Radu himself said, their songs have "positive emotion"—it really does not matter if you cannot speak or understand Romanian, you just "feel the love" in the music." - Wikipedia
As an American who understands basically no Romanian, I feel this so much.
