Petrivochka, temna nichka

Petrivochka, temna nichka,
Za tumanom plyne richka.

Tuman yarom, po dolyni,
Shyrokyi lyst na kalyni.

A shche shyrshyi na dubochku,
Klyche holub holubochku.

– Idy, hulju, pociluyu,
A to zavtra ya zmandruyu.

– Oi yak budesh mandruvaty,
Pyshy pisma, davai znaty.

Pyshy pisma, davai znaty,
Vidkil tebe vyhlyadaty.

Chy z horoda, chy z Luchyci,
Chy z Arshavy, z Hrebovyci.

Ishla divka z Hrebovyci,
Yihav kozak z kosovyci.

– Oi zdorovo, chornobrovo,
Kudy lezyt shlyah-doroha?

– Chornobrova ne buvala,
Z chornobrovym ya hulyala.

Ya hulyala vsyu Petrivku,
Davai hroshei na horilku.

Ya hulyala vsi m’yasnyci,
Davai hroshei na kyslyci.

Ya kyslyci pozuvala,
Na parubka napljuvala.
