Romanians have their own lovers’ day – Dragobete, celebrated on February 24, ten days after the Valentine’s Day. And, as this is a Romanian celebration, we've prepared a list of Romanian love songs to listen today (or in any other day).

It’s not an easy job choosing only five songs, as most of the Romanian artists have beautiful songs about this amazing feeling. However, we’ve selected five Romanian songs that go from 1993 to 2016.

Gheorghe Gheorghiu – Unde dragoste nu e, nimic nu e (1993)

This is one of the most well known songs in Romania, and so is singer Gheorghe Gheorghiu, who was one of the most popular artists in Romania in the ‘90s. Some of his other famous songs are Doi Ochi Caprui, Ma Gandesc la Tine, and Sa Nu Ma Minti.

Romanian artist Delia launched in 2016 a remake of the hit Unde dragoste nu e nimic nu e, which you can listen here.
