Petrivochka, temna nichka,
Za tumanom plyne richka.

Tuman yarom, po dolyni,
Shyrokyi lyst na kalyni.

A shche shyrshyi na dubochku,
Klyche holub holubochku.

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

– Oy yak budesh mandruvaty,
Pyshy pis'ma, davay znaty.

Pyshy pis'ma, davay znaty,
Vidkil tebe vyhlyadaty.

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

Ishla divka z Hrebovyci,
Yichav kozak z kosovyci.

– Oy zdorovo, chornobrovo,
Kudy lezyt' shlyach-doroha?

– Chornobrova ne buvala,
Z chornobrovym ya hulyala.

Ya hulyala vsyu Petrivku,
Davay hroshey na horilku.

Ya hulyala vsi m’yasnyci,
Davay hroshey na kyslyci.

Ya kyslyci pozuvala,
Na parubka naplyuvala.
