The Ofra Haza page on facebook posted today a nice song from Youtube, sung by Ofra Haza and I am gonna repost it here, together with a transliteration from Hebrew and an English translation. As Esther Ofarim has a nice interpretation of this song, too, I include her as well in the post. See for yourself which version do you like better. I admire both.
The very same song sung by Esther Ofarim

The dark girl, they call me
my skin was pure white
from the fire of the summer sun
I am dark
Chorus:
Dark girl
so very beautiful
in your eyes – a burning fire
my heart is all yours
The dark girl, they call me
all those who go down to the sea
if again they call me
I will go with them again
The dark girl, they call me
son to the ruling king
if he calls me again
I will follow himCredits: Hebrew songs
