Transcription and translation by Tatiana Nikolova-Houston of lyrics from 15 Godini Dûrzhaven Ansambûl za Narodni Pesni i Tantsi: Izbrani Pesni ot Filip Kutev
| 1 | Bre Petrunko, malay mome | Hey Petrunka, young girl |
| 2 | Vse yodime yobidome | We've gone all over |
| 3 | Nigde yoro ne naydo me | Nowhere did we find a dance |
| 4 | V vashe selo dor tri yora | In your village there are three dances |
| 5 | Parvo yoro Petrunkino | The first dance is little Petrunka's |
| 6 | Petrunitsa yoro vodi | Little Petrunka leads the dance |
| 7 | Yozdol ide ludo mlado | Up came a wild fellow |
| 8 | Ne se fana na sredata | He doesn't go to the middle |
| 9 | Nay se fana na tanetso | But he joins at the head |
| 10 | Na tanetso do Petrunka | At the head by Petrunka |
| 11 | S per iko si kitka roni | He tears her bouquet with his forehead |
| 12 | S nozde si yi ekli kalya | He muddies her slippers with his feet. |
