Czarna dziewczyna (translation: Black-haired girl) was the Polish entry at the Eurovision Song Contest 2005 in Kyiv performed by Ivan & Delfin.
Musically, the song is inspired by the folk music of Eastern Europe. Lead singer Ivan Komarenko sings of his love for a black-haired girl, implied to have gypsy ancestry, and calls for his horses to unite them rapidly.
It was performed last in the semifinal following Denmark. At the close of voting, it finished in 11th place with 81 points, missing out on the final.

Czarna dziewczyno
To słońca ostatni błysk
Ogień i czerwone wino
Rozgonią cygańskie sny
Czarna dziewczyno
Czy widzisz, być z tobą chcę
Gdy wszystkie gwiazdy dziś mówią nam
Co się wydarzy nie grzech
Hajda wy bystre konie
Nieście nas z całych sił, aha…
Czarna jedyna
On chce być z nią, ona z nim
Laj… laj laj laj laj…

Nezhnaya Lara
Zakat kosnulsya shatra
Kostry, vino i gitary
Razgonyat sny do utra
Oy, da vy moi koni
Zhar pylayet v krovi
Nas ne dogonyat
Ved’ eto noch’ dlya lyubvi

Black-haired girl
It’s the last light of the sun
The fire and the red wine
Will drive away the Gypsy dreams
Black-haired girl
Do you see, I want to be with you
When all stars are telling us today
What will happen isn’t a sin
Come on, you fast horses
Go with all your forces, aha…
The only black-haired one
He wants to be with her, she with him
Lai… lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
Lai… lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
Oh, tender Lara
Sunset has touched the marquee
Fire, wine and guitars
Will remove sleep till the morning
Oh, you my fast horses
Heat is burning in blood
We won’t ever be caught
As this is the night for love
Hey… hey…
Hop hop hop hop hop hop hop hoppa…
Lai… lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
Lai lai lai lai…
