The phrase “Numa Numa” comes from the chorus of the song, “nu mă, nu mă iei,” meaning, roughly, “don’t want don’t want to take me.” Last week when I went karaoke with MP’s friend, he chose this song to sing and we were thinking what language is this Numa Numa song use. I’m quite sure it is not French and Spanish but could it be Italian I don’t know. So I looked up on the internet and still it is kinda mystery to me. But it does say that this band dragostea din tie is from Moldova. So I looked up again where is Moldova, it is located between Romania and Ukraine. It was annexed by Russian Empire in 1812. So I looked up in wikipedia as I am not very good with geography and history hehe. It says that the language used is Moldovan or similar tu Romanian. But the song I think is in Moldovan not Russian.
This song was made in 2003 and it wasn’t famous until now. If you guys search on youtube, there are a lot of people trying to imitate dragostea din tie with Numa Song. This started by Gary Brolsma. It was funny. Try to look up by yourself first in youtube and here I present the link to Numa videoclip. Enjoy!
