The article is devoted to the peasant stereotype of “beauty” recorded in the folk songs of the Sokółka region (the Podlaskie province). The reconstruction of the image of the “physical beauty of a human” has been narrowed down to the most frequent in the collected material names for parts of the face, like: eyes, eyebrows, mouth. The text analyzes in detail the ways of valorizing the physiognomies of men and women as well as lyrical functions performed by descriptions of the characters’ physical appearance. The study considers wide cultural connotations, necessary for correct understanding of the folk texts. The performed analysis proves that speaking of the beauty of the song characters one speaks in fact of the traits of their character and their morality.
