Лето 2004 как зажглось, так и погасло. Солнце во всю проявляло активность, даже у нас на Урале температура стабильно держалась на отметке около 30 градусов, а теперь пришли дожьди и осенний холод. Наверное, многие уже слышали песенку Dragostea din tei группы O-zone с припевом, который мне слышался как: "Mario yeeh, Mario yooh, Mario yah, Mario yah-ah". На самом деле про Марио в песне ничего не поётся. В России уже можно найти полноценный альбом группы, называется DiscOzone, а если вы ещё не слышали Dragostea, посмотрите клип или поймайте песню по FM.

Dan Balan is the number one composer in Europe

In European composers chart, Dan Balan is on the first place with the smash-hit Dragostea din tei. In France there were sold 750.000 units and on July 5, they will take the Diamond Disc! In Germany and other countries they have been already awarded with the Platinum disc. DiscOzone has been released up to now in France and Germany. The German version also contains Dragostea din tei video. The new single, Despre tine ("About you") is going to be released in Europe by the end of August. Anyway, on some Italian radio stations a remix of this song it's already being played.

O-zone took part to the annual music festival - Fete de la musique, in Paris. The festival was first organized in 1982, from the initiative of the french Minister of Culture - Jack Lang. The concept was to celebrate Summer season inviting musicians, amateur and professional, to sing together in public places (parks, streets etc.). The entrance should be free for all acts and concerts. The idea spread around the world through French embassies, French cultural centers etc. Today is being celebrated in more than 100 countries (including Romania). At the concert that O-zone performed, also sang Royal Gigolos, Zucchero, Patricia Kaas, Jamelia, Nadiya, Tragedie. The 23rd edition of the festival brought other events such the concert of National French Orchestra or exhibitions of traditional musical instruments in Ethiopia and Switzerland.

amateur - любительский

embassy - посольство

Гастроли - это хорошо, в Москву группа O-zone собиралась в июле. А ещё хорошо, что группа молдавская, а поёт на румынском. Это, наверное, чтобы всех запутать. Давайте посмотрим, что говорит о группе и их песне энциклопедия http://en.wikipedia.org

Dragostea din tei ("The Love Among the Linden Trees", original title in Romanian) is the most well-known single of the Moldovan band O-Zone. It debuted in Romania in late 2003 and in the European Union in early 2004. In April 2004 it topped the charts in Italy and Spain, and was curiously popular with the Norwegian graduate students, the russ, one month later. In Italy the most popular version is from Haiducii (Paula Mitrache). There have been allegations of plagiarism.

The song has been considered a gay icon. It's one of the summer hits of the Spanish summer of 2004.

linden - липа
well-known - хорошо известный
band - группа
to debut - дебютировать
in late - в конце
European Union - Европейский Совет
in early - в начеле
to top the chart - занимать верхнее положение в чарте
curiously - удивительно
Norwegian graduate students, russ - норвежские выпускники вузов
allegations of plagiarism - сплав, смешение плагиата

Да, а ещё говорят, что у русской попсы тексты, залежавшиеся на помойке. Если они думают, что западные хиты сплошь и рядом написаны в стиле Шекспира, то они сильно не правы. Текст песни с сайта LyricsBox.com

В конце нашего разговора о группе и её нашумевшем хите, давайте почитаем самые интересные отзывы на форуме http://www.hebig.com

[Heiko Hebig]: The shit hit the fan: Dragostea Din Tei has got to be the worst "summer hit" ever. O-Zone and Haiducii need to be locked away to save this planet from ear cancer. Who buys this crap? Who actually starts dancing when this tune is being played? Excuse me, please, I need to throw up now.

[Yandee]: They are gays, and their music smells like shit Fu**ing faggots....

[Victor]: Heiko, if you don't like "Dragostea din Tei", don't listen or try another radio chanel. I personally love it and ... actualy I think that radio Hamburg doesn't play it enought. And I know plenty of people that love the song. Cheers! Yandee, I dont' think they are gays, buty even if they would be... what is your business? Listen to some Afghan music, I'm sure there's no gay people left in Afghanistan.

[Issa]: What are you talking about? It is a GREATEST HIT!!! Soyyy for your ear don't understand good music.

[muhammad]: I am from Lebanon....whats up eurup.? i thing yur all stuwpid. right hear when u hav something good to say. all eurupens are all the same shit. all you peple are egoitiscs and care for yur own asses and dont take blame. where is the love ???? u made world war too..:( u all are dooduy heads (in arabic its sounding is better).

[regina]: ok....im a romanian that lives in america. so you think were stupid? so you think were trying to find reasons to hate? your reason is because we dont understand the language, do you? because if you did you would realize that it is more stupid when you do. " i gave you beep, im neat." and "hello, hello, its me again, picasso." so please were looking for reasons to hate?

Correcting.

В первом выпуске я допустил такую ошибку - в словарике было написано: to be face - стоять перед, повернуться лицом к. Там имелся ввиду глагол to face.

At the end.
