Ой, чорна я си, чорна, [Oy, chorna ya sy, chorna,] [English translation]

Oh, dark, I am so dark,

So dark like a gypsy.

And why have I so loved (2)

The dark browed Johnny?

Oh John, my Johnny,

With a shirt embroidered,

So tall and yet slender, (2)

And with a chin, that's dimpled.

"Mary, oh you my Mary,

I do love your beauty,

I love to look at you, (2)

When you go out for water.

When you go out for water,

Returning with the water,

I love to go and look, (2)

Oh Mary, after you."

"In the field there are two oaks,

They both are so green,

Are'nt we such a pair - (2)

Both dark and so handsome.

Oh, I'll go up the mountain, (to the forest)

And that oak, I will cradle.

From here I won't go, (2)

Won't leave my beloved."(lover)
