Hej, sa Petronella is a song with lyrics by Lennart Hellsing and music by Knut Brodin, and published in 1957 in Våra visor I. The song deals with fictional person Petronella from Plaskeby (from the Swedish verb plaska "to splash"), and the theme is trying to be happy in all conditions and weather. Creating a bout out of items is a common theme in many fairy tales. The melody is based on a folk tune.[1]
