Ой чорна я си чорна

This is a fun “courtship“ song, and yet another example of a musical dialogue. The conversation is between a girl named Marussya (a form of the name Maria) and Ivanko (a derivative of the name Ivan). They are obviously in love with each other and they are both dark-haired, which they use as an excuse to point out how well they are matched.
