| PETRUNO, PILE ŠARENO |
| Petùruno, pile sareno, de gidi, jagne galeno. | Petruna,bright little bird, little lambie. |
| Petùruninite jocici te cinat sapa zùltici. | Petruna's eyes are worth a handful of golden coins. |
| "Petùruno, pile sareno, kato si tolkoz jubavo, jot Boga le si padnalo ili si v gùrdinka niknalo?" | "Petruna, little turtledove, since you're so beautiful, did God drop you here or did you spring up in the garden?" |
| "Ludo le ludo ta mlado, ne sùm ot Boga padnalo nito sùm v gùrdinka niknalo. | "You crazy young thing, God didn't drop me here nor did I spring up in the garden. |
| I mene majka rodila, i mene kakto i tebe. | My mother bore me just as yours did. |
| Koga me mama rodila v gùrdina se je hodila, | While she was bearing me she walked in the garden, |
| za topola se je dùrzala, kùm jabuka je gledala. | she held onto a poplar tree, she looked at an apple. |
| Za tuj sùm tùnka, visoka, za tuj sùm bela, cùrvena." | That's why I am thin and tall, That's why I am fair and rosy." |
