minus-squareFlying Squid@lemmy.worldMlinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoFor one thing, “Love from the Linden Tree” is a weird name for a song. For another, the band is Moldovan, but the song’s name is in Romanian.
minus-squareKubeRoot@discuss.tchncs.delinkfedilinkarrow-up0·10 months agoLooking it up, seems like Moldova speaks Romanian, so nothing weird about that? And is that really a “weird” name for a song? Don’t forget it’s gonna sound awkward since it’s a translation, but it seems like a mostly typical name for a song.
